Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson is the best book on behavior and training I've ever read.

Thanks for the reading suggestions, i haven't read that many as iv'e only started. I'll check em' out on Amazon.co.uk and see if my books stores/shops have them. That "Culture Clash" seems to be quite a popular one then?

It's an awesome book (imho). I can also add "Don't Shoot the Dog" by Karen Pryor and "The Dog Who Loved too Much" by Nicholas Dodman
