This book is helpful for anyone who has no idea what to do with a dog.  I certainly did not know and wish this book was around for me.I did not appreciate the author referring to puppies as similar to babies – although I know that is a common comment.  However, dogs are certainly a species different from humans, and like babies, need a book with instructions.  That’s what this is.From choosing your pet to grooming, training and socializing, this book is well-written and comprehensive in its approach.  Prospective dog owners can learn a lot from this book if they want to successfully train a dog and welcome one into their home for the first time.  There are even suggestions on how to handle having a pet if you live alone, with one other person or with children.  The author instructs you on how to avoid producing an aggressive pet and how to read a dog’s body language.If you never owned a dog while you were growing up, this is a good place to start if you are considering purchasing a dog.
