 The canine answer to Gina Ford November 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Yes, I'm sure he knows his stuff. Yes, I'm sure his dogs are models of good behaviour. And yes, I'm sure he's never had to clean dog mess off the carpet. But the whole thing is written in terms of "If you don't do it my way, FAST, your dog's temperament will be ruined, he'll never be a good pet and you might as well write him off now." I was reminded very strongly of Gina Ford and her rigid-as-steel instructions on babycare. There is a lot of good advice here, but it's possible to be a little less obsessive and still bring up a lovely pet. Gwen Bailey's 'The Perfect Puppy' is a much better and less intimidating buy.
 Buy this book! August 13, 2008

This book is really good! It's the only puppy book I bought before getting my ridgeback puppy and after applying the principles that the book outlines he is an angel. He never chewed a thing and was toilet trained within 2 weeks. Stuffing kongs and cage training are fantastic ways to ensure your puppy is happy when alone and this book covers these and many more handy hints. Buy it today if you plan to get a puppy or dog for that matter!
Brilliant for before you have your pooch!! July 6, 2008

Brilliant, we're getting a lab puppy in a few months and I got this to read beforehand. It is brilliant, gret tips on what to look for when picking your puppy and great tips that would never have even considered. Written by a man whom idolises his dogs-I am excited to put my new skills to the test on our lab when we get him! Great buy and so easy to read, Natalie
Highly recommended! August 28, 2007

I have read many, many dog books as I have undertaken several courses in canine behaviour and training. This is the book I recommend anyone getting a puppy to buy. It's easy to read, provides practical information on training and is based on positive methods. If you're thinking of getting a puppy, or have one already, this book is truly brilliant!
A charming read October 21, 2006

I purchased this book as a present for a friend. He has since told me it was an easy read, with a lot of information he had never even heard of, prior to reading this book. The illustrations and layout are appealing. All-in-all, a worthwhile book to get, concerning what to do BEFORE, and AFTER getting your puppy!
