I know that Lauren blogs every Friday about her cat, so I thought I would share what I think is a wonderful book on caring for your puppy. The authors of this book shocked me at first, as they are monks from upstate New York! Their approach to raising a puppy uses a lot of positive reinforcement; however, they also realize that some discipline is needed in order to ensure normal development. This book breaks down each stage of the puppies first two years and walks you through their world from not our only viewpoint as owners, but also through the eyes of the puppies themselves. Each chapter relates back to you a puppy from the litter that you follow throughout the whole book. It makes me feel that they belong to me after completely reading this book. It covers the basics of selecting a breed and breeder as well. If you want to learn more about me and my puppies (I have lots of pictures), you can find me at my blog, Jason A Myers.
