Dog training book recommendations?
I am going to be adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue sometime this summer. I have a bit of knowledge about dogs and have spent a lot of time around them, but I was wondering if anyone has any specific dog training books you read and thought were very informative. Please no "dog training for dummies" or any of that Cesar guy’s nonsense as I don’t agree with his training methods. I’m looking for books that mostly focus on positive training methods (clicker training, etc.). Thanks in advance!
There’s always something to be learned…but I’m not going to waste money on a book that I know I’ll learn more about what I don’t want to do than what would work for me. 
And just to add, we won’t be getting a puppy…we’re aiming for an adult dog, 1-6ish years or so.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
