 Great start for a great dog. February 24, 2008

We bought this book and read about some of the modern methods of training that are now commonplace. If it weren't for this book I would have used some old house training methods that are either mostly ineffective or have been found to just not work. It doesn't cover everything but its a good place to start.
Good advice. February 18, 2008

There's some solid advice here and practical info on raising your new puppy. It's important to have a variety of sources to turn to when you have questions, and this book is filled with some pragmatic answers that will make your life (and your puppy's life!) smoother.

This book is very informative for every phase of bringing a puppy into your life - from preparation before the puppy comes, to what to expect through his complete development. I got the book as soon as my husband and I started looking for a puppy, and pulled it out for a review of what to expect on the first day once we found out we were getting one for sure. The information in the book has helped make us feel completely prepared for what to expect, how to control the environment, and how to react in situations that might have otherwise seemed beyond our control. We feel confident we are getting our pup off to a great start, and that he will grow into a wonderful adult dog. I also bought "Puppy Primer" and "Good Owners, Great Dogs" at the same time. All three are excellent books, but I keep finding myself turning to "How to Raise a Puppy..." most often. I think it's because it's not too short, not too long, but just right.

This covers all the psychological and physical aspects of the puppy. How to bond, how to eliminate bad habits. I'm still working on my stubborn puppy, but her techniques are working when I have time to be peristent.
