Product Description

Product Description
Arguably, there is no animal in the world that can offer you the amount of unconditional devotion as a dog. The period of puppyhood can be the toughest and most delightful era in your dog’s life. Each puppy, as it grows into doghood, faces – and sees – the world in different and unique ways. Some puppies thrive on human interaction; others prefer an independent lifestyle. Some love the general mayhem that small children create; others find the commotion less thrilling. Your puppy will grow up to be your friend, keeper, and voice.

Puppies For Dummies is for anyone interested in exploring this momentous era in a dog’s life. Whether you already have a puppy curled at your feet (or chewing at your shoelaces), or if you’re still in the thinking–about–it stage, this clearly written and easy–to–understand guide will help you to

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 9 Sep 2008
By H. Matthews "A. Matthews" (Ulster, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Puppies for Dummies (Paperback)
Bought this book when I was getting my first puppy, the book was packed full of information on how to successfully train and socialise your new pup, including useful info on how to keep your pup happy and healthy. Even has information on harmful things for dogs, like certain foods and plants, before i got this I had no idea that Onions and Grapes were poisonous to dogs.

The information is so relevant and useful that i even found myself using many of the techniques on my older dog, finding them all great with helping to train him again.

This review is from: Puppies for Dummies (Paperback)
If you are thinking of getting a puppy this book is a must. Follow the steps and you won't go wrong. We are in the terrible 2's at present but knowing about it before hand was a big help.
