How to Teach a New Dog Old Tricks
This is a very useful book for learning how to train dogs, from young pups to older dogs who need to learn a few more skills, or unlearn some tricks that their owners would prefer they didn't do! Ian Dunbar focuses on how the dog understands what we are trying to get across, and he uses reward-based methods. He writes clearly, and his work is accessible to older children, as well as adult owners. He has a 'way' with both people and dogs, which can get the best out of both.
