Product Description
From Library Journal
The 1981 edition (now out of print) of this little classic on puppy rearing was a word-of-mouth best seller. This substantially revised and expanded edition benefits from an additional decade of observation of puppy behavior by its authors and includes effective, up-to-date methods for educating puppies to become good canine citizens. Along with Job Michael Evans's The Evans Guide for Housetraining Your Dog (Howell, 1987), this is required reading for new puppy owners. Whether the copy still in circulation is battered and gnawed or the book slipped by the first time around, every public library should acquire this new edition, and academic libraries should seriously consider it for its insights into canine behavior. Highly recommended.

When you visit a litter of little puppies that are so easy to handle and control, it is easy to overlook the thought that within a few months these puppies will have the size and general behavioral characteristics of their breed, together with the individual behavioral tendencies inherited from the parents.

I can LIVE with my puppy,
By
This review is from: How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With (Paperback)
Orginally, I purchased 3 books on training new puppies. "How to Raise A Puppy You Can Live with" is the only book I would recommend. And I do highly recommend it. I found it to be interesting and descriptive, but also an easy read, with language for the lay audience. The book details the growth of a puppy, at which ages to expect certain results, training methods at different age levels, and methods to punish a puppy without being cruel (like ignoring your puppy, which gets them begging for your love and acceptance). The book is filled with tons of advice on situations that will be encountered along the way of raising your puppy.

Oustanding and informative,
By Arlene Millman "chyron24" (Huntington, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With (Paperback)
Oustanding and informative book, especially for the first time puppy owner. Explains in detail the emotional, physical and social development of a puppy. If more future dog owners knew what to expect in advance, they would be better prepared, and there would be fewer dogs in shelters. Arlene Millman, author of BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY (The tale of a remarkable Boston Terrier).
