I have a 3 month old pit bull terrier mix puppy. We are working on training him and have noticed that several of the "experts" from our training handbook and videos sometimes contradict each other. I was wondering if anyone could tell me of some resources that you have used that have worked for you, so that I can look into them? So far, I have come across Caesar Milan ,Barbara Wodehouse(contrite about the spelling) , Kevin-somebody , and a couple of others. Thanks in advance :)

A: Oh yes, I advised of of LOTS of great books.

For one, "Pit Bulls for Dummies" is a great book.

There is a book at Pet Stylish JUST for Pit Bull training, and it comes with a Training DVD.

I also have "Idiots guide to Positive Dog Training"

There are many online resources as well.

Email me if you beggary anything else!

Can any one give away the whole show me of any dog training books

A: I've tried miscellaneous dog training books which are ok but through experience the best method is to go to puppy traing classes where the pups can socialise with other dogs. You also learn and it is like a real workout when you take part. You also meet friends with similar interests

I'm looking for a substantial free download either book or video for dog training. Does any one know where I can find one

A: There are tons on this side on dog training

The author's admit they are not actually advocating that we all eat our dogs to save the planet. They go on to--well honestly to ramble on about how we should have chickens as pets because we can eat them. Or something.

My point actually wasn't to discuss this exercise in academic stupidity and thereby give it any credence. However the work does represent a common mistake I feel people make when designing solutions to global warming. So bear with me for the moment and assume all the hype about global warming is true (something, thankfully, it appears people are less willing to do). The problem that I have is that solutions are generated by optimizing along only one axis--reduce energy usage at all costs. It is the "at all costs" part where these solutions go awry. On the face of it saving energy is a good thing even if you don't believe the planet faces imminent destruction the day after tomorrow. But when "saving energy" becomes "change your lifestyle to be like X, Y, or Z or you are evil" it becomes too invasive.
