Some good advice unfortunately offset by some questionable instructions, e.g. suppositories if you are too lazy to wait for your dog to relieve itself, dragging the leash as a means of training, flea collars so toxic that they should be taken off in confined areas. On balance, this book probably does as much harm as good.

This is the best dog book I ever read. If you are thinking of getting a puppy, get this book! It's not hard to read and by the time you are done, you will feel like the best dog expert on the block. Some people might get scared at the size but I gurantee those books that tell you that their supposed to be a junior pet care book only tell you that you should be good owner. This book has a great descripition for how you should take care of a dog. It even includes information about advanced training. BUY THIS BOOK!

Before you get a dog, buy this book! From a terrific "Puppy Scoring" test to help select the right pup for you out of a litter, to practical tips on teething and house training, this book is the best. Used it extensively to raise what became The Best Dog in the World -- their tips helped her be house trained within 2 weeks of coming home (never another accident!). I have given 15 copies of this book as gifts when friends have said they were thinking about getting a dog. If you buy a dog book, buy this one!

I read this book when I was a little kid with my very first puppy, and I checked it out at the school library. I read it from cover to cover about 20 times. It was amazing, and it helped me as a 12 year old to raise my dog. I loved it so much that I am recommending it for my Mom to use for her new puppy. It was very friendly and very helpful, and so appropriate to raising happy healthy dogs. This book is timeless. I can't wait to read it again.

This is the very first of what is now have a whole shelf full of dog books, and it is still my all-time favorite puppy raising book. It was a wonderful book to have handy while raising my very first puppy, and I used it a lot. The training information and common problems section is quite good. I really like thier information on choosing a dog, and if you should even have one. It's a very understandable, and easy to use introduction to responsible dog ownership and how to have a happy, healthy puppy, all written in a very friendly tone. It gave me a great foundation to help my now adult dog be such a wonderful, very well behaved dog, and the envy of other dog owners.
