Happy Puppies, Proud Owners!

Puppies are great fun, and they make wonderful family pets. However, puppies can also be a lot of work - they're playful to the point of being rambunctious, they tend to make a mess of the house, and they demand a lot of attention. How do you help your playful, energetic puppy become a happy, well-mannered member of the family? It's all in the training!
Pat Storer offers expert advice on housebreaking a new puppy and teaching basic obedience. Her tried-and-true approach -- emphasizing firmness, consistency, and patience -- is guaranteed to help owners earn their puppies' respect, trust, and confidence. Storer also offers tips and tricks for solving common behavior problems.

This review is from: Housebreaking & Training Your Puppy (Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-242) (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin, a-242) (Paperback)

Each puppy should come with one of these. Short and to the point. Good for the constant review that is needed for puppy parents. Abit over priced for the size of a pamphlet, but solid information inside.
