Although nothing beats getting involved with a good club or trainer, it never hurts to read. The more knowledge and insight that you can gain, the better trainer you will be. Study everybody's methods and pick out what works best for you. Remember, there is almost always more than one correct way to get the results you desire.
Sooo...to that end, we suggest some or all of the following:



Schutzhund Theory and Training Methods
by Susan Barwig & Stewart Hilliard

Training the Competitive Working Dog
by Tom Rose & Gary Patterson

Tracking: From the Beginning
by Gary Patterson

Schutzhund Protection Training

Schutzhund Obedience: Training in Drive
by Sheila Booth with Gottfried Dildei

Purely Positive Training
by Sheila Booth

This is far from a complete list. There are many good books about dogs, training theory and the practical application of those theories. If I've failed to list an important title, drop me an e-mail with the pertinent information. We'll read it (if we haven't already) and add it to the site!

We do not necessarily agree with all the methods in all these books. We have read them all and feel that each has something positive to offer -- whether you're a seasoned trainer or someone looking for someplace to begin.
