[.ca] Before and After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive ... (ISBN 1577314557)

should've got it for my first dog and before my second puppy!:
This book is really good, it guides the new dog owner from A to Z. I'm convinced if I had this book for my first dog I could have avoided all her current behavioral problems and make the integration of the second puppy so much easier. If you are planning to get a puppy, I recommend reading this book before you do to prepare yourself to avoid future headaches.

Read this book BEFORE and AFTER getting your puppy.:
I read this book while on a wait list for my puppy and referred to it often after she came home with me. I'm new to the doggy world and didn't have a clue what to do but Dr. Ian Dunbar's book explained everything in this easy to read book. He covers everything you need to know to raise a puppy. I would have never known about bite inhibition or giving my pup stuffed kongs to amuse her when I have to leave her alone if not for Dr. Dunbar. Nearly a year later, I have a socialized, well adjusted and wonderfully obedient young dog. Read this book and practice what Dr. Dunbar teaches and success will follow. Thank you Dr. Dunbar!

Incontournable-A must for new dog owner:
As a brand new dog owner, I was panicked at the idea of house training and puppy training as I waited for my 8 week old fox terrier. I read several books but only Dr. Dunbar's book really hit home. It's an easy read and to the point. My fox is now 10 months old, he is great, asks for the door to go out, sleeps all night (since the second day home). Thanks Dr.Dunbar for a great book. Highly recommended (in fact I just lent my copy to my neighbour who has a new dog.

From someone who knows dogs,:
Being highly involved in the dog sport world I have friends come to me for advice on their new puppy or dog. The first thing I do is recommend this book for everyone! Dunbar uses sound techniques based on the science of dog training. Even if you already have your dog, get this book. If you are thinking of purchasing one of Caesar's books, keep in mind that he does not consider himself a dog trainer. If training your dog to live with you is what you had in mind, pick this book and not others :)

A MUST READ for any new puppy owners!:
We haven't had a dog in a long time so when we decided to get a puppy I wanted to get a refresher on crate training, chew toy training and house training. This book is going to be my puppy bible! It has excellent tips and really helps the reader understand why you see certain puppy behaviour and how to have error free training. I am certain that we'll have a very well behaved puppy if we follow the tips in this book.
