Its hard to say but how many new puppy owners without realizing it are creating future shelter dogs. Training your puppy can be fun and can start on day one when you bring them home. The first goals are house training, socialization and a soft mouth. Then get them into a good off leash, safe & fun puppy class. They learn so much from other dogs. Teaching them puppy skills in a puppy class environment is setting them up for the real world. Dogs are not born shelter dogs, they end up there because we don't help them to coexist in our world.
This book is simply a MUST READ for anyone thinking of getting a puppy. With a little preparation, you can raise a dog that never makes a single house-soiling or destructive chewing mistake, is calm and quiet on command or when home alone, and is gentle and confident around people.
