Recently re-released, this guide to raising a "good" puppy is presented by animal behaviorist Jeanne Carlson, and is designed for use with puppies less than 6 months old. Relaxed and confident, Carlson guides viewers through teaching their puppies to be calm, accepting mouth and ear examinations, bite prevention, learning to be alone, housebreaking, playing with toys, and more. Offering many visual examples with untrained dogs, the program demonstrates both mild and firm corrections to use for teaching and when each is proper. Additional sections address common problems such as nipping, chewing, jumping up, whining, and barking, as well as discussing the importance of a regular veterinarian's exam, and the double fun (for you and your dog) of giving your puppy a massage. Geared to new puppy owners, this program is a solid introduction to the art of raising a new family member of the four legged long-tongued variety. Recommended. (Available from most distributors.)
