https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/11488/behaviour-books Hey guys My rents are getting a new dog next year and requested a good behaviour book to guide them through the basics (and to train them correctly too!) I figured I should make an informed choice before clicking on the latest amazon has to offeren-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/103070?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 30 Nov 2010 13:53:01 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:3967a8e6-ce83-4492-a18c-1436348dcadbJeniflower<p>Cheers Anne, I&#39;m on Amazon at the moment. there is one called the &#39;puppy primer&#39;- seems the most recent one on the list by this author... although I can&#39;t list them by &#39;resistance to teeth marks&#39; !! he he!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/103016?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:51:49 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:1a6f5d62-6846-4033-b756-bc4240f04798Anne Whipple RVN<p>I have a really great little book that focuses on the basics- it&#39;s by Patricia McConnell (an American vet and behaviourist)- I&#39;m pretty sure it&#39;s called &#39;the Perfect Puppy&#39; but I&#39;m not 100% sure about that- it&#39;s very short, but very good. All her stuff is great though. Ironically enough, my copy has a few teeth marks on it <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Tonque_out_smiley.png" alt="Stick out tongue" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/103005?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 28 Nov 2010 23:02:41 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:598ee009-cf1a-4201-afc4-849794bc5775Jeniflower<p>Lovely! thanks all!
