AFTER You Get Your Puppy door Dr. Ian Dunbar
A short book about the most important development deadlines for a puppy and basic concepts about initial training. It is great to understand the basic concepts, however, it just instructs what should be done but lacks depth and does not get much into details about how to achieve that.
Yes, he sets the bar really high. But his advice is backed by systematic evidence. Check, for instance, Serpell et al's "Becoming a dog: early experience and the development of behavior". Dunbar may go a little overboard when it comes to puppy socialization ("invite 3-4 different people over every day") but he is fundamentally right: there are developmental deadlines and you'll ruin your dog if you miss them. Raising a puppy is way more work than most people realize.
This book is available either in print or as a free PDF on Dogstar Daily.
[a: Ian Dunbar|59501|Ian Dunbar|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1350927782p2/59501.jpg] is considered by many to be the father of modern dog training. His techniques are repeated by many more popular books, and some now seem so obvious as to be common sense. Of course, common sense isn't all that common, so errors still persist in many people's dog handling. Something as simple as encouraging the dog to eliminate prior to going on a walk so that the dog will view the walk as reward rather than holding on for as long as possible before succumbing to elimination for fear of the walk ending... it's a basic dog training fact that many have never learned.
This is a good foundation text to read and then to grow on. While his tone won't be suitable to everyone (he often frames things a bit hyperbolically, although that's understandable considering how lax many are in their training) there is still a lot of wisdom in his words that people can take to heart. This booklet pretty much provides everything you need to know, and coupled with the second booklet, I could see this being the best free primer for dog training possible to own.
I'd happily encourage this to anyone thinking of getting a dog, although I would encourage them (as this book does) to use this as a jumping-off point rather than the be-all end-all book of dog training. More knowledge rarely hurts, as long as you're coming from a good starting point and trying to train and help your dog rather than simply dominate it as so many still sadly try to do.… (meer)
