Best Dog Books

We have 2 dog books that we recommend to BestDoggieTips dog owners. One is all about training your new puppy, new dog (or even old dog!!). The other is full of useful information on how to keep your dog healthy. Read more about these two great books below.

How to Have a Healthy Dog

Sounds like "easier said than done" doesn't it?

Well, we can't teach you how to speak "canine" but we can give you the tools to reach a better understanding of what life is like for your pet.

Starting today, learn the facts about what your dog really needs to survive longer and healthier.

If you are looking for a book on how to train your pet or how to engage in obedience training, this is not the book for you. 

How to Have a Healthy Dog is for the dog owner who wants to better understand the health of their pet so they know when it is appropriate to take serious action to assist a vulnerable or ailing dog.

Did you know?

  • Dogs shouldn't be given chocolate? Do you know why?

The Dog Owners Guide

For new puppies, new dogs and old dogs - including selection, training and housebreaking

The best way to have a happy, healthy relationship with your dog is to make sure you have an obedient, well trained dog. The Dog Owners Guide will give you the skills and information you need to achieve that.

The dog owners guide will help you to:

  • decide on the breed of dog that is most suitable for your lifestyle (are you a couch potato or an exercise junkie).
  • decide what breed of dog is best for your living environment (do you live on 30 acres, or in an apartment)
  • make sure you can afford it (collar, leash, grooming supplies, bedding, toys, vet's bills, registration)
  • find a place to buy your dog

And then, once you have your dog, the Dog Owners Guide will show you how to:

  • prepare yourself for training your dog
  • learn to understand dog behaviour
  • housebreak your dog
  • teach your dog some basic commands
  • if that works, you might want to teach your dog some fancy tricks (don't believe the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!)
