Hi all,
My brother is adopting a puppy this weekend and I'd like to buy him a puppy/dog training book as a new puppy gift. When I adopted Murphie, I read EVERYTHING I could get my hands on in books, magazines, online and here, and took what worked for me and Murph.
I'm looking for a few suggestions for a great book or article that talks about overall care and basic training for a puppy. Was there a specific book you found the most helpful?
Some of my books already in my library that I plan on lending him are...
The Art of Raising a Puppy-by those monks
How to be Your Dogs Best Friend-ditto the monks
(great books but a little heavy on the correction collar for my taste-though I know they use it lovingly)
How Dogs Think-Stanley Coren (fantastic!)
and assorted articles I've found online.
All great, but I'd like a few more suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Mona
