So Your Dog’s Not Lassie: Tips for Training Difficult Dogs and Independent Breeds By Betty Fisher and Suzanne Delzio is one of the best training books we’ve found, written by women who really seem to understand that not every dog’s wish is to please his owner. As small dog owners, we can relate! This book is for people who want a well-behaved canine companion - big or little, as well as those who aim for competitive obedience training. It clearly explains how to train, as well as giving some background on why the dog does what it does, and what to do about it. Delightful anecdotes and examples are included throughout, as well as clear, black and white photographs. We think this book belongs on the shelf of everyone who doesn’t have a collie, and perhaps some people who do!
