Hi ...
Welcome ...
Many of the more common problems/issues have already been discussed ... Using the Search Function above, will save you much time ... because the information is already available.
Will also suggest that you get good dog books to read ... there is no substitute for learning for oneself ... And good books will give you the relevant background you need to build a good & lasting relationship with your dog.
For suggestions try this ... some of the books are already available locally, and almost all can be ordered through MPH, Times, Kinokuniya etc:

Unfortunately ... the books can be quite pricey ... from a local bookshop ... they can range from RM30-00 to RM120-00 ... but compared to what you can learn from a good book - it is worth every sen ...

... aaah ... remember to stick to the bigger bookshops ... like the ones in KLCC and MidValley (Times, MPH, Kinikuniya) ... the smaller book shops only carry a small selection of doggie books, and some don't even have any ...

Suggestions;
Check up the titles on Amazon.Com ... read the reviews ... and select the books you like ... take down name of author, title and publication number.
If the bookshop does not have stock of the book you want then:
(a) Check out the books that are on the shelves ... try and get books published after 2000 ... newer books will be more up-to-date ... Again take author & title down ... and you can do quick check on Amazon and read the reviews before purchasing ...
(b) Most big bookshop also have a special order service ... where they will order the books you want ... but this will of course cost more because they will also charge you postage ... or you can order direct from Amazon.
If you can - get a dog training manual and get a dog behavioural book.
