I loved this book.It helped a lot.It talked about all
different kinds of things.Like what to do if your dog
or puppy barks at everything.How to clean a puppy's ears
and why.How to stop them from biting.How to recognize
your pup's personality.Ssomething I learned is that
there are different ways a pup can act like.Some
pups are eager Beavers.That means that they will
do anything to make you happy.That can be a good
thing and a Bad thing. If you like to toss the ball, your
pup will bring it back 500 times!I don't want to say
anymore.Buy this book it's great!

This is a valuable tool for raising a pup. It is concise and written in laymen's terms so it's very easy to understand. It's straight forward and to the point. You don't have to weed through a ton of useless information. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone wanting great meaningful tips and techniques on puppy raising. It's made a world of difference for me.

As a first time puppy owner I was at a loss in every area, I reviewed many books and chose this one with my fingers crossed, I was not wrong and I go to this book everytime I have a question that needs an answer. I am thrilled with the all the puppy has learned and much has been in the book. I recommend the book for all new puppy parents.
