- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014A great beginner's book that was very helpful in training our 4 month old puppy. The instructions are simple and practical.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015great book. very helpful
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2013The diary portion of this book will be nice. If you are looking for one with a lot of info, this isn't the book. It gives a lot of summaries for certain ages, but a big portion is the diary.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013Very basic info and most of book is a diary, few useful tips but there are better puppy training books available.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2011This is a good book for those who are getting their first puppy.The first 1/3 of the book is alot of basic knowledge to get started and makes alot of sense. Explanatory is simple and to the point. I'm happy with the book. The rest of the book is a diary to jot down your training experiences as well as keeping track of office visits. I can do away with that part as I have a separate book for keeping track of his health and vet visits. I would recommend the puppy raising section as it is good knowledge to learn but the rest....I can do without.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2013I was pleased with the shipment and the condition of the book. only 1 word written in the book, and it was how.
no big deal. Other than that- good as could be.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016I was disappointed in this book. I'm sure these training tips work for some dogs. I like different methods when I train. the book is well written.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2013This book has been used by me, my neighbors and recently by my niece and hubby with their new Lab.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great keepsake!
I love this diary! It's a great record to have so you can recount all the cute things your puppy did! I'm enjoying keeping a record of my puppy's first year! I think it's a great keepsake that would be great for any puppy owner!
In addition to the diary, it also has tips, cool games to play with puppy, etc.
