Everyone wants a puppy....not everyone wants the work to turn them into sweet, well-behaved pets. This book makes puppy training incredibly easy. Everything from crate training to establishing dominance to understanding puppy personalities is explained. I've trained and housebroken three puppies now using the methods outlined in this book and I wouldn't do it any other way! All were fully housebroken in under 3 weeks and are the best pets!
An excellent guide for first time puppy owners
