I am getting a 10 week old female american eskimo dog. I need some good books on basic behavioral training, housebreaking, etc. I don’t want a method that uses treats as a means to train the dogs.

What Are Good Rewards For Puppy Training?
Liz asked:
For example, would it be okay to train my dog and reward him with cheerios? Just plain cheerios, not flavored or anything. I would rather not go out and buy treats because I don’t think those are very healthy for puppies. Any other suggestions of household foods or other ideas for a reward system would be great! Thanks!

How do I choose a book for puppy training?
Stu asked:
I’m thinking about getting a puppy, and I want to train it very well, so I thought I’d buy a book ahead of time. I’ve been looking on amazon.com for a good book on training, but there are so many! I don’t want a book that is so stern that I can’t have fun with the puppy and the training process, but I do want a well behaved puppy that will listen to me–does anyone have any recommendations?

I havent done any research on this yet, but I know classes are offered at petsmart. Roughly, what do you think this will cost?
Were just trying to get all the information on what her needs will be and what we need and want to buy for her before she is even born, so we are already prepared, and its always a good idea to have an idea of costs on each thing.
Misery, as Ive said, I am required to take her to the training classes.

We have a ten week old Shih Tzu puppy who has had her first two vaccinations. Is it OK to bring her to PetSmart for puppy training, or should we wait until she has them all. I tend to think we should wait, but just making sure.
