    As far as names go, I like Tina best for two reasons. One, it’s my nieces name :) , and two, dogs hear hard, sharp syllables like “T” and “K” better than soft, rolling syllables like “M” or “R”.
    Regarding the book, there is a very popular e-book/audio book combo known as SitStayFetch.
    You can find it at http://www.dogtrainerpro.info/SitStayFet…
    The book has a long-standing reputation in the online dog training community and has many satisfied customers.
    Before you buy anything, I suggest you sign up for their 6 day training guide that they offer for free. If you like the information you see in there, then you can make your decision.

    Two young dogs at once is a handful, but I don’t think you should be criticized for it. Having two dogs is better than one since they get canine companionship! Plus they have companionship when you have to go to work or school or whatever. Just make sure you sign up for an obedience class. If you have a friend or relative that could come along to work the other dog, take both at once. Otherwise do them in succession, but you should take them to obedience school. And be sure to walk them often. For a book, read my blog (link below).
    For a female great dane, Tina is out as a name. I’d go with Mindy or Wendy.

    I have enjoyed using Diane L. Bauman’s Beyond Basic Dog Training along with attending training classes.

    Why would you get two puppies at once?? go to the http://www.leerburg.com site there is tons of info there, for working dogs as well as housepets.

  9. My best dog training book is Jelly Bean versus Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde written by C.W Meisterfeld. along with Psychological Dog Training By C.W. Meisterfeld. Jelly Bean was written for the safety of our children and the welfare of our dogs.

    The best book I have read about dog training is easily “The Dog Listener” by Jan Fennell. It is so easy to read and above all makes sense. I saw a huge difference in my two dogs straight away and is in a league of its own. Really I cannot recommend it highly enough.

  11. Di Hilsley says:

    Jan Fennel is good , as is Cesar Millan but also try and read the books by John Fisher .

  12. Richard says:

    “The Dog Listener” by Jan Fennell – dogs already know what’s needed, it’s us that need to be able communicate with them.

    Jan’s book is the only one I know that gives good reasons for everything she teaches. It’s also relevant no matter how many dogs you have and helps to draw a line under any previous treatment the dogs may have had (ie “rescue dogs”) it deals with the “now”. The subtle signs are immediately recognised by your dog and it only requires consistency on your part.
