Recommended Reading

This is a list of some of my favorite reading. All the authors have written several books, far too many to list here so, I have included the one that I have enjoyed the most. When searching for these titles, try Amazon.com first – usually the best prices and often free shipping. For hard-to-find titles search Dogwise.com or the author’s website directly.
