Overall Training Books

These books cover a little bit of everything to get you started.

Lucky Dog Lessons Book Cover by Brandon McMillan

Lucky Dog Lessons

The book that started it all. I read this and thought I was now an expert trainer (only to get Porter and realize I am actually just an idiot). BUT that's how easy-to-follow the steps are: you feel you will be an expert trainer in no time after reading this one!! I found the potty-training section especially helpful.

Getting Your Puppy by Ian Dunbar Book Cover

Before & After Getting Your Puppy

This book gives a lot of practical and concrete training advice. My copy is underlined and chewed on. 

Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skeet Book Cover

The Art of Raising a Puppy

I read this book a long time ago, but it was helpful in learning how to deal with Porter, who is very high strung and head strong. 

Here I am with all four of my dogs.

About Me

I love dogs and have a lot of bad ideas.
