Dog Books: Our Top Six for Christmas 2009!
1. A Member of the Family: A Member of the Family: Cesar Millan’s Guide to a Lifetime of Fulfillment with Your Dog:
Many of us think of our dogs not as pets, but as full-fledged members of our families. If you own a dog or are thinking about getting one: “A Member of the Family” is the ultimate resource for integrating your canine companion into the life of your household.
What should you do if you need to leave him alone at home while everyone’s at work? Are you giving him the space or time to give him the exercise he needs? How can you make sure your children and dog get along well? How do events in the human family – like birth, marriage, or divorce – affect the family dog? All of these questions, and many more, are answered by bestselling author Cesar Millan in this new book.
Brimming with practical tips and techniques, A Member of the Family addresses the most common issues and questions that emerge over the course of your lifetime relationship with your dog, explaining what it takes to be a good dog owner. From helping you choose the right dog for your particular family’s needs to setting the rules of the house (yes, you and your family are in charge) to finding a quality vet and monitoring your dog’s health, Cesar offers essential advice for a harmonious household. No topic is left untouched. With success stories from Cesar’s fans and clients included throughout, A Member of the Family includes sections on travel and doggie day care, caring for an aging dog, and dealing with the death of a pet and its long-lasting effects on a family.
In his frank, simple, and calm manner, Millan acts as your personal expert as you build a fulfilling, satisfying relationship with your dog.

2. The Complete Dog Book: 20th Edition:
Toydogtoys.com Review: There’s the Scottish Terrier or “Scottie,” (“an earth dog used in hunting, amongst others, the fox”), the Boston Terrier (“a lively, highly intelligent, smooth coated, short-headed, compactly built, short- tailed, well balanced dog”), or the Great Dane (“one of the most elegant and distinguished varieties of giant-type dog”). In fact, there are 146 AKC-recognised breeds profiled within the pages of the Complete Dog Book, and the pictures and text provide great “doggie” browsing. The breed descriptions help you choose among the hounds, terriers, toys, and working breeds, the herders, guard dogs, and sporting breeds. Measurements help determine which dogs will best fit your home circumstances (Chesapeake Bay Retrievers measure 21 to 26 inches high at the shoulder, Chinese Cresteds are a mere 11 to 13 inches off the ground, while the Irish Wolfhound stands 30 to 32 inches tall). Breed temperaments help you choose your ideal pet, and show criteria helps you to know what you’re looking for when you actually start to shop for a puppy. In the meantime, there are interesting stories about breed origins, and a useful glossary of dog terms, while the chapters on grooming, training, and Canine Health and First Aid will come in handy once you’ve brought your new dog home.

3. Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar’s Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life:
Review:- Be the Pack Leader is a HIT! This book is a huge hit with our organization! Adopters find themselves learning how “they” can be better pet owners through calm / assertive pack leadership.
Kudo’s to Cesar Millan for sharing his wisdom, expertise and special gifts to the world! We are grateful for it.

4. 101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog:
101 Dog Tricks is the largest trick book on the market and the only one presenting full-color photos of each trick and its training steps. The step-by-step approach, difficulty rating, and prerequisites, allow readers to start training immediately. Tips and trouble-shooting boxes cover common problems, while “build-on” ideas suggest more complicated tricks which build on each new skill. No special tools (such as clickers) or knowledge of specific training methods are required. Trick training is a great way to bond with your dog and help him/her integrate into your family. It keeps him/her mentally and physically challenged and helps to establish paths of communication between you. Many tricks build skills needed for common dog sports, such as dog dancing and dog therapy work. It’s every dog lover’s privilege that Kyra and Chalcy took time from their performing schedule to share their secrets in 101 Dog Tricks.
