5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable information, January 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Off To A Good Start: A Manual for Raising Your New Puppy (Paperback)

This woman knows her stuff! I thought I knew a fair amount re: raising a puppy, but Mary Thompson's knowledge and years of experience blew me away. This is a must have book if you, or someone you know, is getting a new puppy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Book on raising a puppy I've seen, January 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Off To A Good Start: A Manual for Raising Your New Puppy (Paperback)

I used to think that I knew a lot about puppies, but I've learned more from this book than from 20 years of raising my own (and reading almost everything I could get my hands on). It's a sensible, readable, and good-natured book that has more information on a page than most books do in a chapter. The next time we have a litter, a copy of this book will accompany each puppy to its new home.

This review is from: Off To A Good Start: A Manual for Raising Your New Puppy (Paperback)

Simply written and easy to follow. More usable than that crazy dog whisperer's advise.
