Recommended reading

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good dog-psychology type book.
I have no specific issues to resolve, just a prolapsed disc!
I'm confined to bed rest and very very bored.
I'm looking for something good to read while i'm locked indoors.

Any ideas please folks?

Em x

The culture clash is recommended by lots of people, maybe if you read it you can post a review.

I hope your disc gets better soon (sorry, I don't know if that's the right phrase, but the sentiment is there)

I was going to recommend The Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson as well, if you haven't already read it.

Another for Control Unleashed and Culture Clash. I also enjoyed The Other End of the Leash, Bones Would Rain From The Sky and Don't Shoot the Dog.

Has anyone read "The power of positive dog training " by Pat Miller?

My amazon basket has:

The complete idiot's guide.
Other End of the Leash
When Pigs Fly (Jane Killion)

Then I looked at the Pat Miller book and read the first few pages - my list went from 3 to 4 (I would have put Culture Clash in but it's a 2-3 week wait so will order later).

Which one do I take out, or do I just buy all 4?

Help me decide.
