Baer, Ted.  _Communicating with Your Dog_.  Barron's, New York. 1989.
ISBN 0-8120-4203-4 (oversized paperback).

  laying a good foundation for extensive obedience training (even if
  you don't take the dog any further than what's outlined in here).
  Simple instructions for teaching a 20-word language, with emphasis
  on understanding and building on previous work.

Benjamin, Carol Lea.  _Mother Knows Best: The Natural Way To Train
Your Dog_.  Howell Book House, New York. 1985.  ISBN 0-87605-666-4.
$15.95 hardcover.
  "No matter how the pup transgresses, no matter how angry the bitch
  becomes, she never denies him his nourishment.  He never goes to bed
  without his supper.  Nor does she offer tidbits of food, treats
  beneath the table, extra portions of dessert to reward good
  behavior. Eating is eating and education is education."

  She uses praise, contact, play and toys to motivate puppies, but she
  does not recommend food training a young puppy.  She does recommend
  crate training and she also recommends sleeping in the same room
  with the puppy.  She provides methods to teach no, OK, good dog, bad
  dog, sit stay heel, come, down, stand, go, enough, over, out,
  cookie, speak, take it, wait and off to puppies. She talks about
  canine language and talks some about mental games you can play with
  your dog such as mirror games, and copying your dog and having him
  copy you, chase games and even playing rough with your puppy.

  Most training methods rely on the foundational relationship between
  an owner and his dog, and this book profides some ideas on
  establishing that relationship while the puppy is still young.

|Johnson, Glen.  _Tracking Dog: Theory and Methods_.  Arner
|Publications Inc., Clark Mills NY.  c1975.  ISBN: 0-914124-04-8.
|  From blurb: "The author became fascinated with the tracking tests
|  held at widely spaced intervals during the years where he could not
|  get over the trouble trainers were having training their own dogs
|  for this highly regarded title. He embarked upon a course of
|  research, experimentation and documentation that enabled him to
|  formulate his own training program that has resulted in 100% OF ALL
|  DOGS COMPLETING THE PROGRAM EARNING A TRACKING TITLE. Old wives
|  tales went out the window and theories became irrelevant as the
|  program was based solely on "observable behavior" of those dogs that
|  were already trained to track. The results of these experiments and
|  the program itself are detailed in "Tracking Dog - theory and
|  methods".
|
|  From this program, the youngest dog ever to acquire its TDX title in
|  Canada earned his title at 13 months of age. Before this time there
|  was never more than 1 dog with a TDX title alive anywhere else and
|  one student has two TDX dogs and a third with a Canadian and
|  American TD.

  This is the reference for the AKC breed standards, each of which
  covers several pages and includes a black and white photograph and
  text on the breed's history, characteristics, and nature.  The
  health section is not illustrated, but is otherwise excellent as it
  was prepared with the cooperation of the faculty of the School of
  Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Potential
  buyers of this book probably ought to wait for the next edition,
  since it is now seven years old and new editions have been published
  every three years (on average).

Books, Third Edition (revised) (1987).  ISBN: 0-553-27789-8 (paperback).
  This small book provides a surprising amount of useful information.
  A little on the "lightweight" side, nevertheless, it gives a good
  outline of what you should know about your puppy or dog.  You can
  use this to decide how much you do know and where you need to brush
  up on what you don't.  Besides sections on how to select the right
  dog, it covers basic puppy needs (housetraining, feeding,
  illnesses), basic training, basic pet care, and a complete list of
  AKC breeds (each breed illustrated with b/w drawing, thumbnail
  sketch included -- good as an overview, but not very specific).
  Includes a section on practical home care, listing major symptoms
  you should be alert for, and listing general criteria by which you
  can determine a dog's overall healthiness.  Discusses major diseases
  and problems, gives sketches on what may be wrong given certain
  symptoms.  Includes guides to nutrition, grooming, health care.

  The monks of New Skete have put together an excellent book that
  discusses puppy development and the things that should be done at
  the appropriate stages and why.  First they follow a newborn litter
  through its various stages of development and at each stage they
  discuss what is happening.  They discuss testing puppies'
  temperaments and what you want to look for, under which
  circumstances.  They discuss briefly dog breeds, and how to find
  reputable breeders.  They then launch into a series of useful
  chapters: housebreaking, preliminary obedience, laying the
  foundations of training, understanding (reading) your dog, how to
  become the pack leader, basic training, discipline, and general
  care.  A good bibliography is provided at the back.

Riser, Wayne. _Canine Hip Dysplasia and How to Control It_. 1965.
  The original experiment showed that puppies raised in 3' x 3' x 3'
  cages for the first 90 days showed a drastic reduction in dysplasia
  at 24 months when compared with a control group, as evidenced by
  radiographs.

  The study also showed that puppies raised on slippery floors, or
  allowed to run, jump, climb stairs, chase balls, stand on hind legs,
  etc. showed a markedly higher incidence of HD at 24 mos.

  The moral of the story is: If you have a puppy which is of a breed
  that has a high incidence of dysplasia, limit vigorous activity when
  young.

  and Fred Lanting is contained in the Howell 'Rottweiler' book.)

ISBN:0-394-72983-8 (trade paperback).
  This useful book is an overall guide to the health and care of dogs.
  It includes a basic listing of dog breeks (AKC).  This is a good
  general purpose book that gives you an idea of what all is involved
  in owning and caring for a dog.  Taylor gives flow-chart questions
  to consider when deciding if symptoms are serious or not.  An easily
  understandable format.  Not as comprehensive as other care books,
  but a good start in understanding what you need to look for when
  your dog seems off.  Includes illustrations of many procedures, such
  as teeth cleaning and claw trimming.  Informative discussion of
  reproductive system, grooming, and dog anatomy.

  Some of what Linda does is clearly helpful in dealing with problem
