| Starter Book, June 10, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Zonya |
| Never had a puppy? Haven't had a puppy in a long while? Need to brush up? This is the right book to begin with since it covers developmental stages your puppy will experience and what to expect. The book does a great job of covering the owner's responsibilities to the new puppy to help him/her grow to be a great, well behaved companion better able to live in the human world. A must read. |

| Great for New Dog Owners, August 4, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Barb |
This is a great book for a new puppy owner. It is a wonderful guide to how the puppy will grow and develop and what behaviors will occur during each stage. I wish that I would have had this book on hand prior to getting our puppy as we did not know very much about the puppy's first few weeks of life were handled. We may have done things differently.
As in all self-help/information books many of the training ideas that are in the book are common-sense. Try them, if they don't work for your dog, try something else. |

| I disagree, July 1, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Sarah |
| This is a good book for learning the different stages in puppyhood but I would have to disagree with some of the corrections used on certain behaviors. One specific thing I did not agree with is the scruff shake. You should never grab a puppy by the scruff and shake it. It could cause physical and mental injury. |
