I would have liked this book for new puppy training. I ave a year old dog, that we just got and felt like it was a year too late. I did find a book by the "dog Whisperer" that helped me teach a previously untrained dog.

I'm afraid I know more about puppy care and training than the author. Pretty much a waste but I bought it because it was reasonably priced sooooo-my bad. It is what it is.
