We humans love our dogs a great deal, and as such have spent a great deal of time writing about them. A quick search online or in your local bookshop will present you with a seemingly infinite number of books to choose from.
Knowing which books are best to read can be a minefield, especially if you are a novice dog owner. To save you some time our Head Behaviourist Anthony has put together a second list of his 10 recommended reads for dog lovers and dog owners alike.
These books will help anyone who owns a dog, is thinking of owning a dog, or who works with dogs. The more you read, the more you will understand man’s best friend.
