      I am new to training, but I am interested in working with my pups. I am mostly interested in teaching them obedience and tracking. (Maybe even more at a later time). I have bought a few books and videos, but so far I haven't found much that I really like.
      So instead of buying more, I was hoping to get some suggestions from members here that have some favorites.
     
    Thanks!

    My favorite is the Ivan Balabanov videos...the first one, about obedience is AWESOME.  They are a bit more expensive but DEFINITELY worth it!  I do Schutzhund with my GSD but I have been able to use the training methods with my lab (and you could use it for any breed).  It takes positive reinforcement to another level.  And let me tell you, this guy's dogs ROCK the trials!  [:D]

    nlkelly is right.  For a working dog, his videos are bad ass, and so are his dogs!

    A trainer named Adam Katz is one that I like. His website is www.dogproblems.com. He has vidoes on Walking on a loose leash, Teaching your dog to come every time you call, Boundary and perimeter training, Teaching your dog to hold a down stay, and Housebreaking in a Hurry. I think you can only get them online, so that is why I put the website there. If you're interested I encourage you to check it out. Good luck!

    Adam is a good trainer (he and I have known each other for a few years now), but he is VERY traditional.  I would consider a more positive approach to training your pup especially if you want to do tracking.  With working pups a great deal of focus should be on increasing drive and not inhibiting drive, and traditional training can inhibit drive if done improperly at an early age.
