It has been a godsend over the last three weeks of puppy-care! Sometimes it helps to just know that other people have dealt with things like chewing and biting, and that there are techniques to deal. Good stuff. Nov 07, Mary Beth rated it it was amazing. This is timely as we just got a puppy!
Sarah is a good friend of mine and the best dog trainer ever! Jul 10, Jina rated it liked it. Anyways, this book was rather repetitive, but I could see why as many people probably use it as quick reference guide. It's been eons since I've had a puppy, so I needed a refresher on all the stuff involved in dealing with a puppy in this day and age. This is a great guide. It covers pretty much every aspect of new pet ownership, from how to pick a puppy, to the stuff you'll need before you bring him home, to training methods and games.
There's a section on food and veterinary care as well. The only drawback is some of the information is a little repetitive. I'm sure I'll be coming back to and reading this book often in the next few weeks and months! Jun 30, Caleb rated it liked it. Jun 29, Julie Kwiat rated it really liked it. There are lots of terrific pointers for newbies.
I will try some of these strategies with Bella my puppy. Aug 31, Ann rated it really liked it. I skipped around a lot to sections I needed, since we have a new puppy now 11 weeks old. Nonetheless a lot of it was quite helpful, especially as there are so many conflicting schools of thought on puppy training.
Am keeping it handy, with another guide, as my go-to references. Sep 11, Lindsey rated it liked it Shelves: nonfiction. There were quite a few spelling and grammatical errors in this book, which causes the author to lose credibility with me. I do think a lot of what she explained in this book will be very helpful. However, it's the first book I've read on puppy care, and I'm interested to see if her method is the general consensus out there.
Her methods seem a bit rigid. Still, I gained a lot of knowledge reading this. Its kinda repetitive. For a person like me which likes to read a book from page 1 until the very last end, the repetitions were pretty annoying. Otherwise it's a good book so you understand better your puppy.
Jul 10, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: facts-fun. Just got my first dog, and this book is so helpful. I am still reading this book as my puppy is still in training and we have a lot of work ahead of us. Mar 17, Karen rated it it was amazing.
This book is an excellent source of information for anyone who is even thinking bringing a puppy into their home. And the center photos, while not necessary, are completely adorable. Aug 29, chelsea rated it it was amazing. Very helpful guide if you're new to having a puppy. This book helped us through teaching our puppy various things like walks, how to stop her from biting, and overall obedience. Format ebook.
