 Needs better organization November 18, 2009
L. Gaffney (New York, NY)
Like a lot of other reviewers said, this book was recommended to me by a few people. After reading it, I'm not really sure why. Maybe because these "Dogs for Dummies" books are plastered all over pet stores, so a lot of people buy them. I found the book to be extremely hard to follow, with no sensible flow. Granted, there are good points in the book, and a lot of the suggestions worked, and so I'm giving this book 3 stars instead of 1 or 2. I really wish this book were organized in terms of age of the puppy. It would've been helpful to have a large chapter dedicated solely to the first two weeks. Instead, there are bits and pieces of information regarding the first few very important weeks scattered through each chapter, under different headings. There are so many references to other chapters and pages, that I now have (ironically) dog-eared pages all over the place.
That being said, I'm now going to try out "The Art of Raising a Puppy", which some friends who have raised numerous dogs (including K-9 unit service dogs) highly recommended as "the best puppy book on the market".

This is a great book which gave me a lot of insight into my puppy's behavior and what to expect in the future...

After having two loving Scottish Fold cats for 16 years, we wanted another pet . . . my husband suggested a puppy. We purchased a Cavachon and the "Puppies for Dummies" book has been a valuable, down-to-earth resource for us. We had read a number of books from our public library and this is the one we chose to purchase. Why? Basics, basics, basics with lots of wonderful suggestions from someone who has obviously "been there, done that" and shared from her experience. Thanks to Sarah (the author).

Yeh I had a dog when I was a kid but my mom took care of it! so when we decided to get a new addition to our little family of 3 I picked this book out to help us, it helps too!! helps you pick out breed type good for your family, how to bring them home, what collars are idea to use for what personality type, even has a seciton called pets & kids which is where I am now. I have a toddler almost 3 and now a 9week old puppy and this book is helping me teach them both how to cope with one and other and how to have fun. Definitely would recomend this to new dog owners.

K. Hanson (Fairfield, CT United States)
This is a great book, whether you are a new dog owner, or like us, were adopting a puppy and dealing with training a young dog for the first time in over a decade....chockful of useful tips and practical ideas, this book is easy to read, well organized and frank in its approach. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to add a new dog (young or old) to your household.
