5.0 out of 5 stars All puppies should come with this book attached, August 24, 2005

By	Kathy Mahoney - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is simple, straightforward, and easy to use. It's an excellent book for puppy owners to use for getting off on the right foot. It's well- written, easy to follow, and covers all the situations that come up while raising a puppy, and then some. It's soft cover design and well organized layouot makes it convenient to have on hand and use as a quick reference. The techniques and information provided are based on years of animal behavior research by many experts. It's well worth your time and money in setting the groundwork for a long and rewarding relationship with your dog.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for early puppy training, December 13, 2001

By	Don Priest (Portola Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, together with "SuperPuppy: How to Raise the Best Dog you'll Ever Have" are the best puppy socialization and training books I've read. We've had 12 to 14 pointers and retrievers over the years, all trained for field work. This book on puppy training focuses on socialization and basic obedience training using positive reinforcements. It talks about how to correct and avoid a number of bad habits. It's short but very direct and straight forward in the writing and techniques. I'd rate it higher than 15 to 20 other books on puppy training currently on the market. It should be required reading for all breeders and puppy purchasers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for all puppy owners, December 13, 2001

By	Don Priest (Portola Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a short but the most complete puppy training book I've seen and should be required reading for all breeders and puppy purchasers. This is a straight forward, positive reinforcement approach to creating a well adjusted, responsive puppy with excellent family and socialization skills. This book coupled with "SuperPuppy goes to Puppy Class" will give you all the tools and techniques to have the best dog you've ever had. We don't breed dogs, but have had 12 or 14 pointers and retrievers, all field trained. It's the best book I've seen on puppy training and how to correct and avoid, in a positive way, bad habits.
