5.0 out of 5 stars Looks can be deceiving....., January 24, 2000

By A Customer

I have recently purchased several puppy training books and have been somewhat disappointed with them. While still searching for answers this book was recommended to me by my puppies breeder so I decided to give it a try. You should however order this with the knowledge that it is more of a pamphlet rather then a book and there are no photos. There are some illistrations but nothing that my child couldn't do. It has a yellow cardstock cover and 39 pages of information stapled to the cardstock to bind it. If you are looking for a flashy book this is not it. This book however had the best information I have found and cost far less then the other books I have purchased. It is not specific to breed but with the exercises he offers it does not need to be. I have been "testing" this book on my four month old puppy and have already noticed a big change even though I've only been using the ideas for three days. I personally believe the information is well worth the cover price even if the initial appearance of the book is not.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best puppy raising guide out there., September 22, 1998

By A Customer

This book deals with the basic information every new puppy owner should have. It explains clearly what you need to do, why you need to do it, and how to do it. It's easy to read and it's easy to look up individual sections. It should go home with every new puppy! I speak from some experience, having used this book to raise several puppies over the years. I have also been a long time puppy instructor with our local dog club and have recommended it. Several of our local veterinarians also enthusiastically provide the book to new puppy owners.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Super book for new pup owners and breeders too!, August 28, 1998

By A Customer

I was going to write my own puppy raising manual until a friend sent me this book. It covered all the information I want a new puppy owner or adopter of a rescue dog to know about dealing with all the basics of fitting a new dog into their home. It includes preventing and solving problems in an easy to read and follow manner using humane training techniques. No need to spend hours reading to get the information you need to help with your pup.Even a ten year old can, with a little help, learn how to turn a pup into a great best friend! Simply the best book I have found on the subject! And breeders it makes a FABULOUS addition to your puppy pack!
