It's not all training/behavior related, she has everything from TTouch, nutrition, wolves, cats, performance issues, etc.

I want to keep track of what I am reading and watching, and if it's on the blog I will know where to find it! I also plan on taking notes on everything. Like I said previously, I am treating this the same as I would taking classes in college.

I went into the search telling myself that I was going to focus first on body language and behavior, because if I can't communicate with a dog and understand what they are saying, how am I supposed to help them? Then of course I started looking through the list and anything with the word aggression in it caught my eye and mysteriously ended up on the list! Then I nabbed a few shelter dog ones as I am planning on starting to volunteer at a shelter as soon as I find one that I think I can do some real work and make a difference in, so that type of information would be handy too!

I think I am most looking forward to the 3 volume Lindsay books as they look and seem to read like textbooks, and I have a strange obsession with textbooks! They seem difficult but Silke didn't seem to think that they would be over my head.

Can't wait to get started!!

Also, since my last post I have decided that this house is not going to be adding another canine member anytime soon!
