What are some good books that helped you or that you know of? Also, what is a good way to socialize my dog, besides the training classes, if any?

Where can I find good methods for dog training? I want to get a dog soon, but I don't know how to train them. I had a dog when I was small, but he wasn't very well trained.

what is the best dog training book to read for an apbt puppy? i recently ordered pit bulls for dummies, and will soon acquire a copy of dog training for dummies. the lady that lives downstairs from me gave me a book titled 'Smarter than you Think' and it tells you to throw things at your dog to teach it to come, and to stick a match in its butt to poop, and not trust dog food companies, and all this weird stuff, not too sure about that book. any other suggestions? or tips?
How do i get into dog training? I am 25 and do voluntary work at a local animal shelter and have been there for 8 years and have unofficially re-trained a lot of rescue dogs and rehomed them successfully, but my friends believe i should do dog training professionally, how can i go about this?
What are some good dog training books or DVD? I currently have my 5 month old in puppy class. I was going to go through all 4 classes at Petsmart, but now I'm thinking I could save about $300.00 and teach my dog the same things (and probably more), if I invest in a good book or DVD. Any suggestions? I'd prefer a DVD, but books are fine too. That way I can also apply the training to our other two dogs at the same time. I do have a clicker... I was very impressed with how easy and quickly she responded to it. I take my dogs to the dog park so they do a lot of socializing there. I'm just not very impressed with the training I'm getting. Asking questions is hard, because I think the trainer is more distracted than the dogs. :-)

How much should I charge? What would you pay for a personal trainer? By the way, I'm 17 1/2.

You know those dog training classes they have at pet stores? Would you ever take a cat to a training class like that? And yes, cats can be trained the same as dogs. So knowing that your cat could be trained the same as a dog, would you ever take your cat to a class to learn obedience or tricks? Wow, really positive answers! I agree, I think it would bring a cat and owner closer, just like training a dog would. I don't think many people think about that, though! Does anyone know anywhere that offers those classes for cats?

Am I the only one who got ripped off with Nancy Richards' dog training institute?

Am I the only one who fell for this scam?
Are dog training (shock) collars safe and do they work? I am considering using a training collar to teach my dog boundaries. I need to be able to keep her off leash, but she runs off if I let her off the leash. A fence, even an invisible fence, is out of the question as its not my house. I've tried teaching her boundaries for the last 5 months but it is not working well. She won't respond to "come" unless she's in the mood. I want to use a shock collar but I worry it may be inhumane. Are they effective and are they safe to use?

When did "positive reinforcement" become the preferred dog training method? I remember a time when the "rolled up newspaper" method of dog training was the accepted norm. Back then, many trainers taught their dogs to do amazing things (and do them quite well) using methods that most folks today would consider "cruel". I'm not advocating any particular school of training here, but I was wondering: What happened that most people changed their training habits? How did positive reinforcement start, and do you think it will continue to be the preferred method of dog training? Does anybody here really believe that folks who trained their dogs using harsh methods actually loved their dogs any less? Is it really so bad to learn out of fear? Once again, I'm not advocating a particular training method, but if it works is it such a bad thing? St. Lady raises a good point ... I too learned many things out of fear of my parents' reactions to things I did when I was younger. I learned right from wrong because I knew that wrong behaviors had negative consequences. I think I turned out OK. Couldn't a dog? Anybody who wants to read a good article about how Ian Dinbar started positive reinforcement and how he compares to Caesar Milan's methods should definately click DogJudge's link.
