Puppies For Dummies audiobook

Een fijn informatief boek om als naslagwerk in de kast te hebben staan. We hebben plannen om een pup te nemen, en ik heb geen enkele ervaring met honden opvoeden.. Ik moet dus ook veel leren! Voor Dummies vind ik altijd fijne boeken, en deze bevalt ook weer goed.Ik had liever gehad dat alles op leeftijd was gesorteerd dan op onderwerp: Nu moet ik voor hetzelfde moment op verschillende plekken zijn voor de verschillende onderdelen. Zal er dankzij een puppycursus vast geen vergeten, maar dat had ik fijner werken gevonden.Ik heb hem nu doorgelezen dat ik bekend ben met de inhoud. Er zitten aardig wat plakkertjes in al, maar ik zal hem later toch vaak erbij pakken, want ik heb geen fotografisch geheugen..

Good book, covers all things puppy. Easy to read and understand. Hopefully in a few months it will prove to be successful!

I just had an old library copy with black and white writing . The book covers everything about your puppy. I got the book to get the puppy housebroken. But Golden Retrievers have a mind set of their own . With luck I will get the task done before the puppy is 16 weeks.

I picked this up as a contrast to The Art of Raising a Puppy. I read bits and pieces and then the puppy arrived and we did our best.

My puppy dreams did not come true (yet?) but I do think this is a good, comprehensive reference for those thinking of getting/training a dog.

This book was an invaluable resource/lifeline when my husband and I suddenly adopted our first puppy this summer at the age of 38. The little 12-week-old lab was taking over and we had no idea where to start! I really like that Hodgson focuses on positive reinforcement instead of negative training. There are lots of terrific pointers for newbies - housetraining alone was worth the price! (Look at the dog when it goes - they crave eye contact - and repeat the bathroom word you use.) Coupled with obedience classes, Rio has become a great dog!

This is a quality work of reference! Covers tons of stuff, organized in a useful way. It has been a godsend over the last three weeks of puppy-care! Sometimes it helps to just know that other people have dealt with things like chewing and biting, and that there are techniques to deal. Good stuff.

I skipped around a lot to sections I needed, since we have a new puppy (now 11 weeks old). Didn’t care for the jokey style of some parts as it seemed to gloss over actual advice in favour of making a cute remark. Nonetheless a lot of it was quite helpful, especially as there are so many conflicting schools of thought on puppy training.Am keeping it handy, with another guide, as my go-to references.

This is a great guide. It covers pretty much every aspect of new pet ownership, from how to pick a puppy, to the stuff you'll need before you bring him home, to training methods and games. There's a section on food and veterinary care as well.I really like that Hodgson focuses on positive reinforcement instead of negative training. There are lots of terrific pointers for newbies.I will try some of these strategies with Bella my puppy.

Its kinda repetitive. For a person like me which likes to read a book from page 1 until the very last end, the repetitions were pretty annoying. Otherwise it's a good book so you understand better your puppy.

This book is an excellent source of information for anyone who is even thinking bringing a puppy into their home. And the center photos, while not necessary, are completely adorable.

Best book for dog training and what to expect I've ever read

learned lots!

This book has alot of wonderful information for new puppy owners.

Just got my first dog, and this book is so helpful. I am still reading this book as my puppy is still in training and we have a lot of work ahead of us.

Best all-encompassing book that teaches those of us without dog training experience how to appropriately raise a healthy, happy, and well-trained dog that coexists seamlessly in our society.
