Format:Hardcover
I think this is a fantastic book, it tells how to raise a puppy from scratch, lots of fantastic info in this book, i.e how to choose a good breeder,choose the correct energy level of a dog to match the owner, how to toilet train and so on. A must have for anyone planning on purchasing a puppy.

I found the book very boring, which was surprising since I love the TV show and think Cesar is very engaging. However, it does give lots of good pointers and for me who has never had a puppy before - only rescue dogs - it has been invaluable. Some of the tips have worked with almost miraculous success. So whilst I cannot recommend as a good read it is certainly a good point of reference.

+ I really disagree with the negative review on this book, I have never had a dog and wanted some sound advice from an expert. At first there were no pictures and alot of reading and I kind of wanted facts fast. However, this books is well worth reading through and I thought it went deep into how a dog thinks, which was an eye opener for a new dog owner like me. There are single chapters on all the aspects of bringing up a puppy from bringing it home to, walking, sleep, what you will need etc - ending in a summary of tips which are easy then to look back over.
- He does waffle a little bit at times about his own dogs (bless him he is passionate about dogs!).
Puppy is home....and the advice has really worked, of course you adapt parts to your lifestyle and dogs personality but by following the sleep - our puppy whined a bit when we went to bed but we followed the advice and he did not wake us at night once, and after three nights happily goes in his crate and doesn't bother us at all.
well worth a read for a new owner.
