Dog training book recommendations?
I am going to be adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue sometime this summer. I have a bit of knowledge about dogs and have spent a lot of time around them, but I was wondering if anyone has any specific dog training books you read and thought were very informative. Please no “dog training for dummies” or any of that Cesar guy’s nonsense as I don’t agree with his training methods. I’m looking for books that mostly focus on positive training methods (clicker training, etc.). Thanks in advance!
There’s always something to be learned…but I’m not going to waste money on a book that I know I’ll learn more about what I don’t want to do than what would work for me. 
And just to add, we won’t be getting a puppy…we’re aiming for an adult dog, 1-6ish years or so.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Woo hoo! Glad you’re adopting, and definitely glad you don’t want any of Cesar’s crap.
These are all great:
Parenting Your Dog by Trish King
Family Dog Training by Patricia McConnell
Complete Guide to Dog Care by the HSUS
Don’t Shoot the Dog! by Karen Pryor
The Power of Positive Training by Pat Miller
Clicker Training for Obedience by Morgan Spector
If you get a pup, Before and After Getting Your Puppy by Ian Dunbar is a must. Actually, the info can be helpful even if you get an adult who needs a bit of work on basic housemanners such as chewing or housebreaking.
