I hate the thought of paying hundreds to have our puppy trained when we could do it ourselves. Can someone help recommend a very good book to us,we have a border collie currently 8 weeks old.

Try any books by CAESAR MILAN, also know as THE DOG WHISPERER.
He gives great advice, and very easy to follow his instructions.

There are several books I would recommend. One is "Good Owners, Great Dogs," by Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson. You can do a lot yourself, but having your puppy in a structured class, along with reading and working with your pup at home, is the best way to do things. Interacting with other pups and people in a setting where you expect your pup to obey in spite of major distractions is something you can't do at home. Our local park district charges $84 for an 8 week class. I would highly recommend a lot of reading, practice at home and the classes.
Good luck!

There are not any books or video clips or some thing like that which i'd recommend in any respect. I have discovered that maximum human beings do no longer study nicely concerning canines practise from books and typically imagine they do and only create huge issues for themselves and their dogs. you pick to get a canines and get it to an obedience classification and the thanks to authentic artwork together with and prepare the canines for even common obedience and trialing - in case you may't do this no quantity of 2d hand thoughts may be sensible you interior the least. No television shows, DVDs or some thing like that. looking a schutzhund club may be no different than looking a sturdy motivational obedience or agility classification - with any of them you'd be the single discovering to artwork together wisely with a canines to get it to act as you wish and the further you study the further you'd be ready to authentic assessing a canines that could be perfect for further stepped forward practise endeavors.

Get the books, but make sure you get a reality check with a trainer. Questions are going to come up, and you want to have someone with experience give you advice, which is not going to cost you "hundreds".
