Addressing Behavior and Basic Training

   Benjamin, Carol Lea. _Dog Problems_. Doubleday and Co. 1981. ISBN
   0-385-15710-X. $13.95 hardcover.
   
   Evans, Job Michael. _The Evan's Guide for Housetraining Your Dog_.
   ISBN: 0-87605-542-0.
   
     Evans was a monk at New Skete for some years. He discusses all
     aspects of housetraining puppies and dogs, giving many constructive
     solutions for all kinds of specific problems.
     
   Evans, Job Michael. (1991). People, Pooches, & Problems. NY: Howell
   Book House. ISBN 0-87605-783-0 (hardcover). $19.95.
   
     Excellent suggestions for dealing with common problems between dogs
     and their owners. Highly recommended.
     
   Fisher, John. _Why Does My Dog...?_. Howell Book House, New York;
   Maxwell Maxmillian, Ontario. c1991. ISBN: 0-87605-792.
   
     A wide range of problems and various solutions are listed.
     Sometimes the problems are solved with a change of diet, more often
     with simple but effective techniques. It is written much like an
     encyclopedia, each section describing a problem followed with a
     series of questions and answers about the problem. In most cases,
     the scenarios are supplied from actual incidents in his practice.
     The author is a member of the Association of Pet Behavior
     Counsellors (APBC), based in Britain and Ireland.

   Hannam, Ruth I. _Happy Dog! Canine Behavior and Basic Training_.
   Hoflin Publications.
   
   Kilcommons, Brian, and Sarah Wilson. _Good Owners, Great Dogs_.
   
     Good suggestions for socializing young dogs and for working on
     behavior problems with adult dogs.
     
   Milani, Myrna M., DVM. _The Weekend Dog_. Signet (Penguin Books USA,
   Inc.) (1985). ISBN: 0-451-15731-1 (paperback).
   
     This book outlines practical solutions for working people with
     dogs. It has excellent suggestions for understanding dog behavior,
     particularly destructive or unwanted behavior. Gives all kinds of
     practical solutions to the problems of adequate exercise, adequate
     training, housebreaking, and so forth.
     
   O'Farrell, Valerie. _Problem Dog, Behavior and Misbehavior_. Methuen.
   
     Lots of stuff and covers many behavior problems, neurotic problems
     and dog psychology.
     
   Pryor, Karen. _Don't Shoot the Dog: The New Art of Teaching and
   Training by Karen Pryor_. Bantam, New York. 1985. c1984.
   
     She presents different behavioralistic techniques for dealing with
     several example situations (i.e. "Dog barks all night", "Roommate
     leaves dirty laundry all over apartment," "Bus driver is rude,"
     etc.) This would NOT be a good book for someone who wanted to teach
     their dog to sit and come, but it discusses how the trainer's
     actions "shape" the trainee's responses. Definitely a must-read for
     people who are interested in "inducive" training, and should be
     thought-provoking for any trainer who is thinking about training on
     a higher level than "When the dog does this, give him a good collar
     correction"--but experienced dog trainers will find a lot to
     quibble about in what she says.
     
   Smith, Dr. M.L. _Eliminate on Command_. Smith -Sager Publications
   1986.
   
     It's a small paperback but full of excellent advice on how to get
     the right timing etc. to give the command. Great assist to
     housetraining in general. Great assist to housetraining in
     general.//

   Dembner Books, 80 8th Avenue, NY, NY 10011. 1988. ISBN: 0-942637-03-8.
   
     This book is a handy guide on how to quickly deal with injuries to
     your dog before bringing him in to the veterinarian for more
     complete treatment. Written in a direct, refreshing style, this
     book covers emergencies from tick removals to whelping puppies
     ("Blessed and Not So Blessed Events."). Tips on travelling, how to
     deal with seizures, a list of poisons...a lot is packed into this
     trade paperback book. Illustrated with photographs. I highly
     recommend this book.

   1633 Broadway NY, NY 10019; orders: 1-800-428-5331 (first ed 1980,
   second ed. 1994). ISBN: 0-87605-764-4 (hardback).
   
     This comprehensive book is a complete guide to health care of dogs.
     It lets you know when you can treat the dog, or when you need to
     take it to the vet post-haste. It lists symptoms so that you may
     inform your vet of relevant information about its condition. The
     arrangement of the material facilitates rapid reference.
     Illustration of key procedures (pilling, taking pulse/temperature,
     etc). Lists poisonous substances, including houseplants. A valuable
     book to have around.
     
   Clark, Ross D. and Joan R. Stainer, eds. _Medical and Genetic Aspects
   of Purebred Dogs_. Veterinary Medicine Publishing Co., Edwardsville,
   KA. 1983. ISBN 0-935078-24-X. 576 pages.
   
     For most AKC breeds and a few UKC breeds, there are sections on
     * Origin & History
     * Description
     * Breeding and Whelping
     * Recognized Problems
     * Old Age
       
     This accumulation of knowledge about the health of specific breeds
     from breeders and veterinarians provides the potential dog owner
     with information that can help them select a strong breed, an
     informed and caring breeder, and a healthy pet.

   McGinnis, Terri DVM. _The Well Dog Book_, second ed. 1992.
   
     What's nice about this book is the way it helps you to
     differentiate between emergency situations and those that can wait
     until morning. There is an introductory section which explains how
     to examine your dog when he/she is healthy so that you will know
     when something is not right.
     
   Morgan, Joe P. DVM and Michele Stephens, DVM. _Radiographic Diagnosis
   and Control of Canine Hip Dysplasia_. Iowa State University Press,
   1985. ISBN 0-8138-1507-X.
   
     A technical, well written book. From the preface: "written from the
     eyes of a diagnostic radiologist and small animal practitioner and
     is designed for the veterinary practitioner who deals with owners
     and breeders in working to solve the serious problem of dysplasia.
     The book is planned to assist in describing the disease to this
     group. It is also hoped that the monograph will find its way into
     the hands of the lay person who has a love for dogs. All technical
     terms are clearly defined and most will be able to profit in their
     understanding of this disease by reading this book." Replete with
     x-rays. Morgan is a consultant for OFA and has reviewed over 25,000
     x-rays for them. The book includes specific descriptions of
     dysplasia in GSDs, Labs, Great Pyrenees, and St. Bernard, for the
     first time(they say) clearly spelling out the differences between
     the breeds.
     
   Miller, Harry. _The Common Sense Book of Puppy and Dog Care_. Bantam
   Books, Third Edition (revised) (1987). ISBN: 0-553-27789-8
   (paperback).
   
     This small book provides a surprising amount of useful information.
     A little on the "lightweight" side, nevertheless, it gives a good
     outline of what you should know about your puppy or dog. You can
     use this to decide how much you do know and where you need to brush
     up on what you don't. Besides sections on how to select the right
     dog, it covers basic puppy needs (housetraining, feeding,
     illnesses), basic training, basic pet care, and a complete list of
     AKC breeds (each breed illustrated with b/w drawing, thumbnail
     sketch included -- good as an overview, but not very specific).
     Includes a section on practical home care, listing major symptoms
     you should be alert for, and listing general criteria by which you
     can determine a dog's overall healthiness. Discusses major diseases
     and problems, gives sketches on what may be wrong given certain
     symptoms. Includes guides to nutrition, grooming, health care.

   Pitcairn, Richard H., DVM/PhD and Susan Hubble Pitcairn. _Complete
   Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats_. Rodale Press, Pennsylvania.
   
     Cost is about $13.00 - readily available in book/pet/health shops.
     This book is full of wonderful information about the physical and
     emotional well-being of our pets, well documented, researched, and
     invitingly written to get one involved and committed to a complete,
     balanced approach to pet care. There is a large portion devoted to
     nutrition, first defining the nutritional needs of the pet
     (dogs/cats), breakdowns of proteins, carbos, vitamins, minerals,
     trace elements, etc. - these by weight and condition of pet (e.g.,
     from small nursing puppy to senior citizen with particular needs).
     Then they compare commercial products (read the label!) with his
     variety of menus, additives of powders & oils (always charted out
     by weight - easy to follow); comparison is by nutritional content,
     cost factors, and speed of preparation - to be honest, we all look
     for convenience. There are also sections on Poisons, Disease, Being
     Prepared for the Unexpected, Traveling.
     
   Richardson, Daniel C. "The role of nutrition in canine hip dysplasia,"
   The Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, May 1,
   1992.
   
     Discusses studies comparing factors such as c-section vs. natural
     birth, free-feeding vs. underfeeding, and motion-restriction vs.
     unrestricted mobility in puppies expected to develop CHD.
     
   Riser, Wayne. _Canine Hip Dysplasia and How to Control It_. 1965.
   
     The original experiment showed that puppies raised in 3' x 3' x 3'
     cages for the first 90 days showed a drastic reduction in dysplasia
     at 24 months when compared with a control group, as evidenced by
     radiographs.
     
     The study also showed that puppies raised on slippery floors, or
     allowed to run, jump, climb stairs, chase balls, stand on hind
     legs, etc. showed a markedly higher incidence of HD at 24 mos.
     
     The moral of the story is: If you have a puppy which is of a breed
     that has a high incidence of dysplasia, limit vigorous activity
     when young.
     
     (A more complete reference to some of the work done by Riser,
     Morris and Fred Lanting is contained in the Howell 'Rottweiler'
     book.)

     Some of what Linda does is clearly helpful in dealing with problem
     dogs and cats, but there are parts of her presentation of her ideas
     that may turn people off because they seem to be a little too far
     out of the mainstream. Good massage tips.

     This eminently readable book goes over canine physiology, both
     internal and structural. She covers how to keep your dog in general
     good shape, discusses some conditioning strategies, and finally
     details a number of possible impediments to conditioning your dog,
     including: genetic and traumatic joint problems and lameness, the
     effects of medication on your dog, and moreover lists all the
     things you need to consider when trying to keep your dog fit and
     healthy. Recommended for all people doing regular physical activity
     with their dog.

Breed Information Books

   _The Mini-Atlas of Dog Breeds, Simon & Schusters Guide to Dogs_.
   
     Lists a variety of breeds. It does contain errors; it is an OK but
     not great reference book.
     
   _Harper's Illustrated Handbook of Dogs_. Harper and Row, ISBN
   0-06-091198-0.
   
     It gives a picture of every AKC dog breed and a one page
     description of each breed in the back. The description covers
     appearance, AKC standards, potential health problems, needs,
     history, temperament.
     
   Alderton, David. _Eyewitness Handbook of Dogs_. Dorling Kindersly 232
   Madison Ave. NY 10016. ISBN 1-56458-176-4.
   
     Thumbnail sketches of many breeds. Photographs include both puppy
     and adult representives of the breed.
     
   De Prisco, Andrew and James B. Johnson. _The Mini-Atlas of Dog
   Breeds_. TFH Publications, One TFH Plaza, Neptune City, NJ 07753
   (1990). ISBN:0-86622-091-7 (hardback).
   
     This book lists and describes over 500 breeds from around the
     world. Abundantly illustrated with color drawings and photos.
     Includes a short forward on what criteria you should consider in
     choosing a breed, and a short description of the categories it
     chose to group dogs in (slightly different from, eg. AKC
     groupings).
     
   Gannon, Dee. _The Rare Breed Handbook_. 2nd edition. Order from JB
   Wholesale.
   
     Describes 80 rare breeds. Loose leaf format.
     
   Hart, Lynette A. _The Perfect Puppy_. WH Freeman. 1987. ISBN
   0-7167-1829-4.
   
     This covers only about 65 breeds' temperaments, but makes a greater
     effort to be objective than some other sources. Lists health
     defects in particular breeds.
     
   Lowell, Michele. _Your Purebred Puppy: A Buyer's Guide_. Holt and Co.
   1991. ISBN 0-8050-1892-1.
   
     Far more comprehensive than Hart's book, with useful warnings about
     health defects to watch for in specific breeds. The author may be
     reached at elowell@sprynet.com.
     
   Mandeville, John J., and Ab Sidewater, eds. _The Complete Dog Book:
   official publication of the American Kennel Club_. Eighteenth edition.
   Howell Book House, Macmillan Publishing Company, New York. 1992.
   
     This is the reference for the AKC breed standards, each of which
     covers several pages and includes a black and white photograph and
     text on the breed's history, characteristics, and nature. The
     health section is not illustrated, but is otherwise excellent as it
     was prepared with the cooperation of the faculty of the School of
     Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Newly
     admitted breeds, such as the Shar-pei, have been added to this
     edition.
     
   Sylvester, Patricia, ed. _The Reader's Digest Illustrated Book of
   Dogs_. Revised edition. The Reader's Digest Association, Inc.,
   Pleasantville, NY. 1989. ISBN 0-89577-340-6. 384 pages.
   
     Besides the excellent text and illustrations in the album, which
     cover 2 pages for each breed (175 total), the informative sections
     are also well-written and illustrated and include many color
     photographs as well. This is a good general reference on dogs, and
     is especially helpful when choosing a breed to own. The health
     chapters are invaluable to non-veterinarian owners.
     
   Taylor, David. _The Ultimate Dog Book_. 1992.
   
     This is another breed book. Largely coffee-table material, its
     distinguishing feature is the outstanding quality of photography.
     Each breed featured has a two page spread, with photos of the dog
     that include: full side view, side of head, front of head, and
     variations within that breed (eg, coloring, though surprisingly the
     Labrador Retriever entry only shows a black Labrador). This is
     worth getting for the picture quality alone, but not necessarily as
     an extensive breed guide in its own right.
     
   Tortora, Daniel F. _The Right Dog For You_. Fireside, Simon & Schuster
   Trade Books. 1983. ISBN 0-671-47247-X.
   
     Offers a complex decision procedure, with lots of questionnaires to
     alert you to the potential significance of various features of
     breed behavior and physical characteristics. This is one of the few
     books that will discuss, candidly, negative aspects of a particular
     breed.
     
   Wilcox, Bonnie and Chriss Walkowicz. _Atlas of Dog Breeds_. TFH
   Publications.
   
     Over 900 pages long in large format. The authors are top notch
     writers and did extensive research to compile this comprehensive
     resource of the world's dog breeds. The book is profusely
     illustrated with excellent quality photographs and a 3-5 page
     article. This book makes a good effort to show every color and
     every coat type of each breed in the various photos. Expensive.

Canine Behavior

   Coon, K. 1977. _The Dog Intelligence Test_. New York: Avon, 90 p.
   
   Dodman, Dr. Nicholas, DVM. _The Dog Who Loved Too Much_.
   
     This book covers behavioral and pharmacological therapies for a
     wide range of aggressive behaviors, fear-based or anxiety-based
     behaviors, obsessive behaviors, plus a few odds and ends. Some of
     the areas covered include dogs who are dominating their people,
     dog-to-dog aggression, territorial aggression, separation anxiety
     (and consequent destructiveness), sharp-shy dogs, and
     urination/defecation problems.
     
   Fogle, Bruce. _The Dog's Mind_.
   
     This appears to be the best, most comprehensive book summarizing
     current research on canine psychology and behavior. You won't find
     much in the way of how-to instructions, but you will find alot of

     Mr Pfaffenberger wrote this book based on his own experiences
     working with the breeding program at Guide Dogs for the Blind and
     the research of Dr. J. Paul Scott of the Animal Behavior Division
     at Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. As a
     measure of the success of the work at Guide Dogs for the Blind, in
     the late 1940's, only nine percent of the dogs that started
     training could become responsible guides. In 1958 and 1959, all the
     dogs bred and developed according to the knowledge gained by
     Pfaffenbarger were as good or better than the dogs of 1946 and 90%
     became guide dogs despite stricter requirements from the 1946
     standard.

     most common situation that causes dogs to bite is a child coming to
     visit a family with dogs where the child immediately approaching
     the dog and hugging it. It is also worth noting that Dobermans and

     Author is an attorney. "... _Dog Law_ answers common questions on

   Strand, Rod and Patti. _Hijacking the Humane Movement_. Doral
   Publishing, 1993 ISBN 0-944875-28-9
   
     This is a book which assembles in one place a number of topics
     which will be of very great interest to dog and cat breeders,
     especially in light of HSUS's suggested moratorium on breeding.
     
     The Strands, AKC Judges and journalists, have placed the animal
     rights movement in historical and philosophical perspective. This
     174 page paper back covers such topics as AR in the UK, AR in Nazi
     Germany, the importation of violent activism from the UK to the US
     and a long list of suspect AR organizations.
     
     There is no index, which the authors tell me was due to
     restrictions on the publisher. However, there are references on a
     chapter-by-chapter basis, at the end of the book. The Appendices
     include the AR Platform [as proposed] as printed in 1987 in "Animal
     Agenda." This includes this prophetic statement, "We strongly
     discourage any breeding of companion animals, including pedigreed
     or purebred dogs and cats."
     
     The tone of the book is thoughtful, rather than strident, though it
     exposes numerous examples of AR duplicity. Everyone who cares about
     dogs should read this book, breeder or not.

Dog Stories

   *. _Chelsea, the Story of a Signal Dog_.
   
     This is written by a man who is a professor at Fresno State Univ.
     in CA. It's the utterly charming story of his own attempts to adopt
     and train a dog to be his signal dog (he is deaf) and then, years
     later, he goes on to get a CCI dog. This book does a great job of
     helping you understand how the deaf community functions in a
     hearing world, and how they perceive themselves.

     These are a collection of working dog stories from Outback
     Australia. Any one who loves these dogs or just loves a good dog
     story should read them. The stories are a mixture of happy and sad,
     all of them are true and written by the individual relating the
     story. The length of each story ranges from a few lines to a couple
     of pages.

     From back: "For the Love of Princess is a deeply moving portrayal
     of the loving bond between the author and her canine companion of
     nine years. When Cheryl learned that Princess had an irreversible
     disease and their time together was limited, her pain began."
     
   Yates, Elizabeth. _Sound Friendships_. Countryman Press, c1987.
   
     It details the life that is led by Willa and her hearing dog,
     Honey. It isn't as in-depth on the nuts and bolts as CHELSEA is but
     it is a good simple read.

   Taylor, David. _You and Your Dog_. Alfred A. Knopf, New York (1991).
   ISBN:0-394-72983-8 (trade paperback).
   
     This useful book is an overall guide to the health and care of
     dogs. It includes a basic listing of dog breeks (AKC). This is a
     good general purpose book that gives you an idea of what all is
     involved in owning and caring for a dog. Taylor gives flow-chart
     questions to consider when deciding if symptoms are serious or not.
     An easily understandable format. Not as comprehensive as other care
     books, but a good start in understanding what you need to look for
     when your dog seems off. Includes illustrations of many procedures,
     such as teeth cleaning and nail trimming. Informative discussion of
     reproductive system, grooming, and dog anatomy.

     Larry Shook is a newspaper reporter who, despite working with an
     allegedly reputable breeder, ended up with a purebred dog with a
     very serious temperament problem - a problem that the breeder had
     compelling reason to know about in advance. So Shook put his
     professional skills to work and has written a helpful, brief book
     about the dangers of 'inbreeding' and about how to avoid breeders
     who'll knowingly sell dogs that are very likely to have serious
     physical or psychological problems. Not surprisingly, he comes down
     very hard on puppy mills and stores that sell live animals.
     Surprising/shocking is some of the information he relays about the
     AKC and certain common breeding practices which are, in effect,
     encouraged by AKC policies.

   Benjamin, Carol Lea. _Mother Knows Best: The Natural Way To Train Your
   Dog_. Howell Book House, New York. 1985. ISBN 0-87605-666-4. $15.95
   hardcover.
   
     "No matter how the pup transgresses, no matter how angry the bitch
     becomes, she never denies him his nourishment. He never goes to bed
     without his supper. Nor does she offer tidbits of food, treats
     beneath the table, extra portions of dessert to reward good
     behavior. Eating is eating and education is education."
     
     She uses praise, contact, play and toys to motivate puppies, but
     she does not recommend food training a young puppy. She does
     recommend crate training and she also recommends sleeping in the
     same room with the puppy. She provides methods to teach no, OK,
     good dog, bad dog, sit stay heel, come, down, stand, go, enough,
     over, out, cookie, speak, take it, wait and off to puppies. She
     talks about canine language and talks some about mental games you
     can play with your dog such as mirror games, and copying your dog
     and having him copy you, chase games and even playing rough with
     your puppy.
     
     Most training methods rely on the foundational relationship between
     an owner and his dog, and this book profides some ideas on
     establishing that relationship while the puppy is still young.

     Describes how to start teaching your puppy commands. This is a
     thoughtful book that discusses in practical detail what you can and
     cannot expect to do with your puppy in training it. They stress
     that by expecting and improving good behavior from the start,
     later, more formal training goes much easier.

     The monks of New Skete have put together an excellent book that
     discusses puppy development and the things that should be done at
     the appropriate stages and why. First they follow a newborn litter
     through its various stages of development and at each stage they
     discuss what is happening. They discuss testing puppies'
     temperaments and what you want to look for, under which
     circumstances. They discuss briefly dog breeds, and how to find
     reputable breeders. They then launch into a series of useful
     chapters: housebreaking, preliminary obedience, laying the
     foundations of training, understanding (reading) your dog, how to
     become the pack leader, basic training, discipline, and general
     care. A good bibliography is provided at the back.

Research Articles on Canine Health

   Dr. Jasper Rine, UC Berkeley Prof. of Genetics & Director of the
   *Human* Genome Center at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is currently
   working on producing a "detailed map of the dog genome -- the entire
   complement of canine genes." (CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION Vol XXXIX,
   Nr 23; February 10, 1993 p.6)
   
     "The results should allow Mr. Rine and his colleagues to pinpoint
     the genes responsible for many of the behavioral and morphological
     traits in dogs--from the strong need of Newfoundlands to swim and
     rescue drowning people to their webbed feet, dark coat, and large
     body size.
     
     "And they should give veterinarians and dog breeders a better idea
     of how to minimize the transmission of detrimental genetic
     disorders that afflict canines, such as retinal atrophy, hip
     dysplasia, and cancer."
     
     He expects to complete the mapping of the canine genome within 3
     years.

     This is written by the Subcommittee on Dog Nutrition, Committee on
     Animal Nutrition, Board on Agriculture, National Research Council.
     It reads pretty well for something put out by a committee. Lots of
     references. Lots of tables of nutrient contents of various
     foodstuffs. Don't expect any discussions of what dog food is best!
     For the most part, consumers are left to figure this out for
     themselves.

     ARDA outlines their philosophy and methods for SAR. This book is
     excellent for an understanding of the depths of committment and
     work to be a SAR volunteer. It is a compilation of notes made over
     a thirty year period; consequently some of the information is out
     of date. There are two main deficiencies in this book. The first is
     a bias toward the German Shepherd Dog, such that they actually
     refuse to use any other breed; the second is a seemingly cavalier
     disregard for the consequences of deliberately searching for
     cadavers with SAR dogs, when such dogs should always search for
     live scent (particularly for disaster work).

     Blurb: "Major L. Wilson Davis is America's recognized authority on
     Tracking -- named in September 1973 to the Obedience Advisory
     Committee of the AKC as its official consultant on Tracking and
     scent training for dogs. This official status follows upon decades
     of recognized achievemnent in these phases of Obedience training.
     Following distinguished service with the K-9 Corps during WWII, he
     has been active in the Governmnent's program of using trained
     tracking dogs for the recovery of detonated missile parts in
     missile experimentation. Major Davis was an AKC licenced judge for

   Johnson, Glen. _Tracking Dog: Theory and Methods_. Arner Publications
   Inc., Clark Mills NY. c1975. ISBN: 0-914124-04-8.
   
     From blurb: "The author became fascinated with the tracking tests
     held at widely spaced intervals during the years where he could not
     get over the trouble trainers were having training their own dogs
     for this highly regarded title. He embarked upon a course of
     research, experimentation and documentation that enabled him to
     formulate his own training program that has resulted in 100% OF ALL
     DOGS COMPLETING THE PROGRAM EARNING A TRACKING TITLE. Old wives
     tales went out the window and theories became irrelevant as the
     program was based solely on "observable behavior" of those dogs
     that were already trained to track. The results of these
     experiments and the program itself are detailed in "Tracking Dog -
     theory and methods".
     
     From this program, the youngest dog ever to acquire its TDX title
     in Canada earned his title at 13 months of age. Before this time
     there was never more than 1 dog with a TDX title alive anywhere
     else and one student has two TDX dogs and a third with a Canadian
     and American TD.

     -- what and how dogs smell and how environmental factors affect the
     track. Then they use this background as a basis for training.
     Topics include the science of scent, kindergarten puppy tracking,
