Couldn't put it down!
This book was so good, I read it twice in 1 month! After I bought it, I didn't want to waste time so I started to read this book, in 3 or 4 days I was totally surprised that I was over already! This book is great for people of all ages and parents, this book may help your child relize the seriousness of a pet. Thats why I rated this a 5 star book. (also because they didn't have any higher ...

Puppy Kisses are Good for the Soul (& Other Important Lessons You & Your Dog Can Teach Each Other)

29 reviews
Mail Order Annie, Howard Weinstein

Belfry Books, 2001

Outstanding
This is not just a book for Corgi owners (although if you are one, you will see your dog in Annie) but for everyone who has ever owned, loved or wanted a dog of any breed(s). For the new puppy owner, it is an absolute must. As "two books in one" Puppy Kisses is half puppy-training manual and half dog story. Although the puppy-training leaks into the story, and dog story leaks into the ...

A review for the parents, with some dog advice
I won my tattered, dog eared, Disyned-fied copy of "100 Dalmatians" in a school auction when I was 7 years old. I learned to read late because I'm dyslexic (hence any bad spelling you may notice) so this was the first real chapter book that I ever owned and the very first I read. It was great. This is a fabulous novel for all ages but especially for kids. I'm not going to re-hash the plot ...

From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava

Jay Kopelman, Melinda Roth

The Lyons Press, 2006

A Moving Tale
This is a nice little novel about, as I'm sure you already know, a group of Marines who come across a very young puppy who they named "Lava" and "unofficially" adopt him, despite orders that prohibit soldiers from keeping pets. It's a simple book written by a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps who grew attached to the puppy and made it his mission to save the dog. Some other reviewers ...

That's Not My Puppy: Its Coat Is Too Hairy (Watt, Fiona. Usborne Touchy-Feely Books.)

Fiona Watt

Usborne Books, 2001

Well done!
That's Not My Puppy: Its Coat Is Too Hairy is short and sweet on length, but wonderfully entertaining with textures. This is a great, sturdy board book that very little readers will enjoy multiple times. And, when you've explored all you want about the dogs, you can always discuss that cute little mouse who seems to appear on every single page! Cute, educational, and very, very ...

How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With

Clarice Rutherford, David H. Neil

Alpine Publications, 1999

Best of Its Kind
This is the best book I've found on raising a puppy. Especially helpful is the week by week detailed description of what a new owner may expect developmentally from the puppy, and what the puppy needs for each stage of growing. I've given this book to every new puppy parent I've known!

A Lovely Book
This is easily a favorite in our house. we first started reading this to our daughter when she was 9 months old. Since then, she has grown to love it more everyday. She's now 18 months old, and never tires of it. She generally likes all the Boynton books, but this one, she loves. Here's the gist of the story: a mommy dog is baking cookies with her puppy, and tells him/her a story about how ...

Puppy Intensive Care - Myra Savant-Harris
If there is any one book that any breeder, whether it is an occasional family pet or professional breeder, this would be the one to have. It goes into details and is easily understood. It contains information that may save a puppies life. I have had my book for sometime and recently ordered one for my grandson. He lost an entire litter which I believe could have been saved if he had read this ...

Must read for Iditarod fans
What a wonderful, wonderful book ! This book tells the story of Lisa Frederic who comes to racing relatively late in her life. She volunteers for the Iditarod and gets hooked on the sport. Within 5 years, she is running in the Iditarod herself at the age of 42. Not only is the story inspiring, it is well written and interesting. She spends the first half of the book describing the process ...

Old Dog lady learns new tricks.
I have been raising and showing dachshunds for 48 years and am a dog show judge but enjoyed reading and learned a few new tricks so you can teach an old dog and an old lady new tricks. Enjoyed it very much.

"Akita-Treasure of Japan (Volume II)

10 reviews

Magnum Publishing, 2002

Priceless!
After Bouyet's first book, I was in line for the second one long before it was available, and it didn't disappoint. There can be no price put on the information contained, including health, history and nutrition. There are numerous examples of non-traditional remedies that your vet will never tell you! There is more information on nutrition than your vet will ever know! There is a view to the ...

Dangerous to Read This to Dogs
This book is an endless source of levity and promotes enough loud laughter to scare your dog out of the room! It's so great I've already gotten 3 other folks hooked on it. My husband and I were reading one of these stories aloud the other day - the one about "How to Make Your Owner Look Like an Idiot" while Scottie slept at our feet. Or so we thought he was sleeping. The next day on his ...

Good Dog 101: Easy Lessons to Train Your Dog the Happy, Healthy Way

Cristine Dahl

Sasquatch Books, 2007

Thoughts on Good Dog
My bookshelves are crammed with Dog Training books of all types and sizes. Most look unread without dog-eared pages or stressed bindings barely holding the pages in place. It's not that I haven't read them, it's that once read they become just silent clutter on my bookshelves, never to be picked up and pored over again. A few dog training books, however, are tattered and worn with little more ...

National Audubon Society

Workman Publishing, 2000

Pleased
I am very happy with this calendar. Lots and lots of puppies, and a different puppy for each day of the month. Each day also gives you some room to write appointments, birthdays, reminders, etc. I also like how this calendar doesn't focus on seasons so much as some calendars I've had in the past. The June puppy has sunglasses on, and July is patriotic, but I'm so glad I don't have a puppy ...

Puppy Whisperer: A Compassionate, Non Violent Guide to Early Training and Care

Adams Media, 2007

A great way to train your new puppy!
I used Paul's book to train my puppy and it has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done! His methods are completely reward based and compassion driven so there's no using pinch or choke collars, something I am very opposed to. I have have had great success overcoming all the normal puppy issues such as potty training, nipping, separation anxiety, and digging by using Paul's ...

DK Preschool, 2000

Another great book in the Touch and Feel Series-my toddler loves it!
My toddler loves any Touch and Feel book-he got his first for Easter last year and I think there's only 4 or 5 we don't have yet. They're sturdy and a great size for toddlers to read, we even throw a couple in the diaper bag when we're out. They're short enough to keep a toddler's attention and filled with bright photographs of familiar things and simple, easy to read concepts. Although as some ...
