    Good for raising a young puppy.

    Everyone needs to hear and learn the proper way to train a young puppy. No one has a natural skills to do it on their own.

    Terrible book with too few details!

    We are bringing a puppy home in a few weeks and I was looking for a good "how-to" on the big things like where the puppy should sleep, how to house-train him, etc. This book glossed over those things and instead went in to PAINSTAKING detail on how to teach the puppy EXACTLY how to do 9 different commands step....by....step....I'm never going to remember that stuff! She also went on and on about using a "clicker" in conjunction with treats for training the pup but never once says WHY to use one. This one is getting exchanged.
