Summary
Before and After Getting Your Puppy is a simple, practical guide for anyone bringing a new puppy into the family. In clear steps, with easy-to-follow training deadlines, Dr. Ian Dunbar, who pioneered puppy classes and a loving style of dog training in the 1970s, presents a structured yet playful and humorous plan for raising a wonderful dog.
The guide is based on six developmental deadlines:
- Completing owner education and preparation
- Assessing a puppy's prior socialization and education
- Teaching errorless house-training and chew-toy training
- Completing a socialization program of meeting strange dogs and people
- Learning bite inhibition
- A continuing program of ongoing training
In the first half of the book, Dr. Dunbar focuses on what the owner needs to know to select a great puppy. In the second half, he presents the crucial lessons the puppy must be taught during its impressionable early development. Over time, Dr. Dunbar's kind, positive program has been proven the most effective.

Covers all the basics.
This short book covers all the basics of puppy training. If you don't have too much time, this one should be enough to raise a well behaved pet dog. Logical, ethical, simple. Highly recommended.

Very useful information
So glad I bought this book. Good info for someone who's never had a dog before. Will read it a few more times before getting my puppy and will refer to it afterwards. Pity that it was written by an American as it often referred to 'dog parks' and gave out US phone numbers which wouldn't be useful to someone living in the UK.

The way to bring up your puppy
Gives a logical regime for socialising and producing a well behaved and happy dog. All based on up to date scientific evidence.
I needed to listen to each chapter a couple of times, to embed the recommendations, but it was worth it!

a must for anyone getting a puppy.
this book is written by someone who has studied dogs, trained dogs and above all owned dogs for many years.
it makes starting out with a puppy easy to understand and stresses the most important requirements to get you and your puppy off to the best start.

practical advice and thorough
I would definitely recommend this as a prerequisite to purchasing or adopting a puppy. Some basic and we'll reasoned methods of training and great to get an idea of timings on certain skills training.

Happy Puppy
I don't usually leave reviews but most definitely found this book to really work. Training my puppy has become fun and at 8 weeks old she has learnt to sit and pee on her puppy pads. I will go through the book a second time. Worth it!
