This is an excellent book for a person who just got his first dog. Small, easy language, encouraging. Very good advice. And easy to follow steps. I feel comfortable recommending it to all new puppy owners who come to our training school.

This review is from: Your Outta Control Puppy: How to Turn Your Precocious Pup Into a Perfect Pet (Paperback)

This is one of the most comprehensive and helpful books on puppy behavior and training I have read over the years. It touches upon all of the puppy traits that new owners have the most problems with, i.e. biting, jumping, acting like a maniac, etc. It explains what is normal and what is not for those of us who forget what a "normal" puppy acts like. Most training books are for all ages of dogs; this book is specifically for the puppy. The advice is great and easy to follow. The format and photographs are top quality. I have a new Boston Terrier puppy which is much different than my Golden Retriever. He's a rambunctious puppy, and this book has helped tremendously! I definitely recommend this as the number one book for all puppy owners. I don't normally write reviews, but this book was so amazing, I found that I had to.
