very useful and important little book. I had to buy a second copy after giving mine to the vet at the local dog shelter, hoping she would understand why puppies shouldn't be isolated, what and when the fear periods are, and much more important information for a dog's first months, that will change your life and his/her's, all scientifically backed-up. Anyone who owns a puppy or a dog, looking to understand their companion,must this book, which I also loved and enjoyed.
Pat Hastings Hits Another Home Run! October 27, 2007

An outstanding book! Pat Hastings, ably assisted by co-author Erin Ann Rouse, once again shows her astonishing depth of knowledge about dogs gleaned from her years as a dog breeder, professional handler, and dog show judge. A worthy follow-on to her seminars and acclaimed video, The Puppy Puzzle, this book clearly delineates the stages of puppyhood and outlines the interactions that a puppy's human should be providing throughout each stage. I liked this book so much that I bought more to give to every new "parent" for my recent litter of eight puppies.

We have bought a lot of books regarding puppies and training, and we still got a lot of information out of this book. It's a whole lot of useful information in a short book.

I have been raising and showing dachshunds for 48 years and am a dog show judge but enjoyed reading and learned a few new tricks so you can teach an old dog and an old lady new tricks. Enjoyed it very much.

This book is a wonderful guide in "remembering" what it was like to have a puppy, its critical periods, and training so that the puppy has all its effective tools to become confident and a social member of the pack. Good information detailing development and training of puppies!!
