Welcome to First Stone

Britain’s leading publisher of books about dogs.

First Stone is a British publishing company dedicated to providing a better understanding of canine mental and physical health and promoting positive training methods for the benefit of dogs everywhere.

Our authors are all experts in their field and together offer an unrivalled knowledge of dogs, how to fulfil their needs and improve their well-being.

We have books on many aspects of training and behaviour. Some are particularly relevant to dog sports enthusiasts, especially those who compete in Agility. We also cater for behaviourists and trainers, as well as pet owners who simply want to learn more about their dogs and want to improve the quality of their lives.

As well as our own growing range of titles, we import and distribute books from overseas publishers and trainers who share our ideals, including Clean Run, Dogwise, Karen Pryor, Denise Fenzi and Nicole Wilde.

All First Stone titles and many more from publishers around the world are available (post free in the UK) from our sister website www.performancedog.co.uk.
