How to Find Great Books on Dog Behavior
By: Crystal Jordan
There are hundreds, probably thousands of books out there on dog behavior. With all the choices out there, how do you make sure the book that you are buying is a quality one with methods that will work? Here are some tips on how to find some of these great books.
First of, of the easiest ways to start qualifying books is to see who the author is and what their credentials are. Normally the longer someone has been a dog trainer the better.
Some of these books are written by journalists or professional writers, and not by people who have been doing dog training for years.
Another way to qualify the books is to look at who is recommending the book. If there are prominent people endorsing the book, then if should be of some quality to you. Books that have no endorsements are either really bad, or are put out by unknown authors.
You can also find good books on dog behavior by reading reviews in online forums or bookstores. Beware though that many positive reviews may have been written by the author or the author's friends. On the other hand, also be aware that many negative reviews were probably written by other authors who just want their book to sell more and want to damage the author's reputation.
Many times you just have to read the book to see if it will be useful to you, because it might not be obvious until you read a chapter or two.
