Of all the puppy-raising resources we could possibly recommend, Dr. Ian Dunbar’s free e-books rank the highest on our list. Download both of these books for free to read as a PDF! When you visit, we’ll give you a bound copy of the first book, and you’ll take home a copy of the second book with your puppy.
Before You Get Your Puppy covers your doggy education, and preparing your home for your puppy. It is imperative that you complete your reading of this book at least a week before your puppy comes home, so that you have time to set up your long-term confinement area and your short-term confinement area.
Chapter 1 – Developmental Deadlines
Chapter 2 – Your Doggy Education
Chapter 3 – Evaluating Puppy Progress
Chapter 4 – Errorless Housetraining
Chapter 5 – Puppy Priorities
After You Get Your Puppy picks up where the first book leaves off, and covers the important milestones your puppy should reach (with your help). It also covers the management of common behavior problems, which Dr. Dunbar shows us are really just normal “doggy” behavior, and need to be replaced with new behaviors. You should carve out time to read this book within the first week that your puppy is in your home.
