Combining two popular titles in one value-priced edition, Before and After Getting Your Puppy is a practical guide focusing, in the first half of the book, information, on what prospective dog owners need to know to select a great puppy, and, in the second half, a step-by-step guide to every stage of puppyhood. The guide is based on six developmental deadlines. These easy-to-follow training deadlines, combined with photos and sidebars of information, and photos provide a structured plan for everything from socializing the animal to preventing predictable problems at different points of the puppy's growth.
more information:

Contains advice on how to manage, relate to, and educate your puppy and emphasizes puppy needs and feelings. Includes teaching basic commands; crate training; housetraining; dealing with play biting; teaching what to chew; solving normal puppy problems; socializing/greeting people and other dogs. more information:

Instead of long and abstract tracts on training theory, this book offers a systematic, rigorous and easy to implement approach with a unique day-by-day, week-by-week, timeline explaining exactly how and when to introduce the exercises in the book, through the first five months of your puppy's life. The author's training approach focuses on channeling a dog's natural drives and instincts into behaviors acceptable in the human pack and covers every area of concern for new puppy owners including home manners, socializing, obedience training, etc. With over 150 photos and 40 illustrations to clearly demonstrate how to perform every exercise discussed and many cross-references for ease of use.

Covers the last 3 of the 6 developmental deadlines you need to meet before your puppy is five months old ("BEFORE You Get Your Puppy" covers the first three). Includes: socializing your puppy to a wide variety of people (before it is twelve weeks old). Explains that, as a rule of thumb, your puppy needs to meet at least one hundred people before it is three months old. Next, your puppy has to learn to inhibit the force of its bites and develop a "soft mouth" before it is eighteen weeks old. Finally, Your dog will only remain sociable and confident if it continues to meet and greet at least three unfamiliar people and three unfamiliar dogs every day. From household manners to the world at large, Ian Dunbar will show you how to best begin your life-long relationship with your dog. more information:

Covers common, predictable puppy problems, provides a timetable for their development, and suggests a variety of dog-friendly preventative measures and solutions, from the period of puppy selection until your puppy's first week at home. Explains how to assess and select a good puppy, and stresses the importance of instituting an errorless housetraining and chewtoy-training program from the very first day your puppy comes home. Regardless of breed or breeding, if socialization, housetraining, and basic manners are not well underway by eight weeks of age, the puppy is already developmentally retarded. more information:
