Synopsis
The Perfect Puppy tells you all you need to know in order to turn your pup into a well-adjusted, confident, happy adult dog. Here you'll find the most up-to-date behavioral information. Author Gwen Bailey is a strong advocate of prevention rather than cure, and she shows how to avoid the problems that so many owners encounter. The book offers comprehensive chapters on the importance of choosing a breed that suits your family and home, taking your puppy home, and easing its introduction to a wide variety of environments. In addition, you'll learn about housebreaking, helping your puppy to accept its position in the hierarchy of the human pack, handling and grooming, and the importance of games for both puppy and owner.
Throughout The Perfect Puppy, Gwen Bailey recommends the benefits of reward-based training methods, which help the owner to begin training while the puppy is relatively young and which yield a strong bond between owner and animal. She also explains how puppies learn and presents practical training exercises accompanied by easy-to-follow color photographs. Bailey tells us how to enjoy the lovable puppy stage while making your pup a well-mannered, sociable friend.

From the Back Cover
The Perfect Puppy is for puppy owners, or would-be owners, who want to know how to bring their puppy up to be a happy, well-behaved and friendly adult dog. Anti-social behaviour in dogs is often blamed on owners, but many are not irresponsible or uncaring, they simply have insufficient knowledge. This book provides that knowledge.
Containing the most up-to-date bahavioural information, the emphasis of this fascinating book is on prevention rather than cure. Follow Gwen Bailey's advice and you should have no trouble with problems such as chewed shoes, pulling on the lead and aggression when your dog is fully grown.
Full-colour photographs illustrate subjects such as socialisation, house-training, preventing biting and aggression, training and many more.
