Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Dog Training Book
If you're looking to train your dog, this is a good book that shows you how. I would recommend Train Your Dog - The Positive Gentle Method and maybe a dog obedience class (that will help your dog learn to socialize) also.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - train don't complain

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
This is a very good book for training yourself to talk to dogs.
