Summary
This book will be as information rich but much faster reading and more concise, a complement to the Dummies book if you already have one. This more visual book with great color photos will make a more suitable gift for the proud new dog owner. The following are the examples of contents of this title: Chapter 1 - Choosing Your Dog; Chapter 4 - Mixed Breeds and Rescue Dogs; Chapter 7 - First 24 Hours at Home; Chapter 10 - Doggie Dinners; Chapter 13 - Training Your Dog - The Basics; Chapter 16 - Grooming at Home; Chapter 19 - Common Health Concerns; and, Chapter 20 - Resource Directory. Most books focus on a single aspect - types of training (clicker, positive, agility, formal obedience), nutrition, breed specific, memoirs, etc. This book covers it all and provides a quick take with information you can begin to use immediately. Carina MacDonald's fun, upbeat presentation ranges from the basics of choosing and getting a dog to a wonderfully complete, visually organized treasure trove of tips on training one's dog, addressing behavior problems, and making sure he or she stays healthy.
