Summary: Good book for starters...
Comment: When I received this book, I realized it was not at all what I had been looking for. This book would have been great, had I bought it before I got my puppy. However, I'd had my little bundle of joy for a few weeks already, and was looking more for potty training, and training in general information. I must admit, I did read it, and learned quite a few new things, especially about behavior. I did skip the first half of the book though, as it did not pertain to us. It talks about how to prepare your home for when you get a puppy, and how to introduce them to the environment. If you haven't gotten your puppy yet, this is a great first read.

Summary: Puppy magic
Comment: How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With Of the many books that have been written about raising puppies, this one has truly stood the test of time. It provides an easy to follow formula for success. Readers learn all about puppy selection as well as secrets to socializing and training that result in a successful transition from puppyhood to adulthood. The end result is a dog whose personality is well suited to his human family and environment rather than one who will be abandoned or relinquished to an animal shelter. I love the fact that Rutherford's and Neil's methodology incorporates positive reinforcement only. Their keen understanding of canine behavior provides a solid background for what they teach. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is contemplating puppy adoption.

Summary: Extremely Helpful
Comment: Very helpful book. We used the techniques in the book to help with an aggressive dominant puppy, and he is slowly improving. Persistence and patience are key to puppy training.

Summary: Great book with good tips
Comment: I ordered this amongst some other books. It gives short summaries in many areas of puppy behavior. It is easy to refer back to and I am referring back to it often. The behavioral problems section and dog signals using body language section are great, it gives good information about what the puppy means by doing these things and how to correct where needed.

Summary: raising a puppy
Comment: This is a very solid, practical manual with good, specific guidance on raising a pup to be obedient, manageable and secure. The behavior or a dog can be a joy to itself and its owner or a disaster and this book will show you the steps to raising a pet you can love and enjoy and one that will be happy and safe with you.
