THE COMPLETE BOOK OF PUPPY TRAINING AND CARE

In the over-populated area of books on dogs, their care and training, this focuses specifically on puppyhood, and has certain advantages. There is a lot of commonsense material on early training, on preventing bad habits, on matters of good manners, proper neighborhood relations, encounters with strange dogs -- and people. Other subjects include whether or not you are competent to have a canine in your life; what kind of dog; guidance for the first days. Definitely for the first time owner -- before and after the acquistion.
