The Holistic Guide for
a Healthy Dog ~ some bits might be a bit 'kooky' for 'grounded'
readers - ie the parts on kinesiology, but this book details how

on how to motivate and keep your dog's mind interested - invaluable
for the absorbent mind of a Dobermann puppy. Nothing like mental
stimulation for tiring them out.
The Dogs Mind - Bruce Fogle DVM, MRCVS - Mandatory reading for anyone who keeps a dog or has intentions of so doing. Details the emotional makeup of dogs; why they suffer from stress and how it can be overcome.
Cesar Millan - One of the most intuitive, no nonsense
Manstopper by Joel McMains. Not an aggressive/full on book as the title suggests, but anyone thinking about training a personal protection dog will be put off as much as possible by the writer! Not a casual hobby - only for very serious dog owners. The writers' insight into canine behaviour is outstanding and moving. He truly loves dogs (and unusully for a working man - loves Dobermanns) and his insight into canine behaviour is outstanding and moving. His training is subtle and gentle - an eye opener of a book. A very intuitive handler and trainer.
