Obedience Courses, Books Etc

[Prydenjoy]

I was wondering what dog behavioral/obedience course I should take if I'm going to take one (been considering it for a while). Is Delta the be all and end all or are there other good ones? What are the pros and cons of each?

Also can anyone suggest some books? I'm busy at the moment reading Pat Millers Positive Perspectives 2, then I've got Kay Laurence's Learning Games, Turid Rugaas' Calming Signals, another text book style book on dog language, and Pat McConnell's Other End of the Leash and Jean Donaldsons The Culture Clash.

I've read Don't Shoot The Dog and the introductory Clicker book by Karen Pryor, Family Dog Training by Patricia McConnell, and Click for Joy (can't remember the authors name).

I think if you do a search you'll find a number of threads on behavioural/obedience courses
