Guest Piximatosis Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for books that cover advanced obedience training. I have a solid understanding of teaching basic "pet dog" obedience - loose leash walking, sit, drop, stay, stand - so am really after something that covers open and utility level exercises. I HAD Morgan Spector's book Clicker Training for Obedience... I'll be damned if I know where it's gone though. Might have to buy myself another copy if nobody has recommendations of something better. :rolleyes: Should add that I don't mind which methods the books cover - positive or not - as I tend to take what I need from the books and modify them for my own dogs anyway. Suggest away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) I like Sheila Booths 'Schultzund Obedience'. sp? because Myszka has my book. You should find your Morgan Spector book, Do you know how much they are? I would be looking for it everywhere before buying another. :rolleyes: Edited July 25, 2007 by PAX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Piximatosis Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I HAVE looked for it everywhere!!! I have a feeling I loaned it to someone but can't remember who. I really want to read it again though so I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get it anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Well if we both get our books back maybe we can swap for a while. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Myszka has my book. Holly Molly Wolly - I do :rolleyes: Not only yours but I also have my copy as well, got one for my Birthday as I liked it as well. Great book. I think its time to post yours back to you PAX, slap me for forgetting to do that earlier!! Anyway Pixi - its a good book, talks about training in drive as well as gives detailed instructions on how to teach certain excercises and what to avoid.

You are a greedy girl........two of the same book. Give it to me in Sydney, don't post it. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Hmm I could answer this but since PAX is habitating this thread I can't cos she doesn't speak to me anymore :rolleyes: , but for what its worth I love Morgan Spector to. :rolleyes: ETA. Although I find guru emails much more useful now then any text book. I keep telling them I should just collate them all and we could have a 101 ways to teach Open and UD - especially gloves and scent .

MonElite Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Give it to me in Sydney, don't post it. :rolleyes: Im going to put it in the car tonight and give it to you when I see you. How embarrasing........ than again if you needed it you would have told me to give it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ness, you know I love you and I have unblocked you so :rolleyes: I am sending you a pm now just so you feel special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hehehe she does luv me after all :rolleyes: . But I still think some of these Australian guru's should put out a book. Oh if you want an Open level one Gina O'Keefe's one is fantastic but I think she said she sold out. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Piximatosis Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Fat lot of help you are then :rolleyes: Explain... guru emails..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Fat lot of help you are then Explain... guru emails..? :rolleyes: Well we gave you one recommedation didn't we. Gurus would be the likes of Gina O'Keefe, Sue Hogben, Sandi Gee (just to name a select few). I swear I could just publish there emails and like I said we would have enough to call it the 101 methods of teaching whatever obedience exercise you like. ETA. If you want some fantastic training dvds the likes of Patty Ruzzo and Ted Turner are just brilliant. Edited July 25, 2007 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Piximatosis Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have a couple of Leerburg DVDs which are pretty good too. Hmm. Looks like I'll be buying Morgan Spector again :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ness, shall we take on a business venture of publishing the guru emails? :rolleyes: If you attend one (or more like us addicted souls) of the gurus seminars they happily give you email support.

dogdude Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Most people know I am a Diane Bauman fan (Beyond Basic Dog Training) Angus & Robertson $57 (ordered) Great trial tips and goes into each of the exercises in detail required for trialling. (Oldy but a goody and plenty to read) I would be interested in a book from Gina O'Keefe if they exist? I suppose they will be available at her Geelong workshop Ness?

PAX Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Gina has a book called 'Open and UD problem solving' and it should be available at her seminar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Open and UD or just open PAX - or has she released another and NOT told her greatest fan club. Hmm I haven't even attended a seminar and I get guru treatment . What comes of belonging to a few lists and being referred to as the list baby - they all love holding my hand and I am so appreciative of it.
