From the Back Cover:

Here is the perfect book for puppy owners and would-be puppy owners who want to know how to bring their puppy up to be a happy, well-behaved, friendly adult dog. Antisocial behavior in dogs is often (rightly) blamed on owners. But most dog owners are neither irresponsible or uncaring. They simply don't have the knowledge they need to raise and train a dog properly. This book provides that knowledge.

The Perfect Puppy gives you the latest behavioral information and emphasizes prevention rather than cure. Follow Gwen Bailey's easy-to-understand advice and you should have no trouble with such problems as chewing shoes, pulling on the lead, or aggression when your dog is fully grown.

Full-color photographs show you how to housebreak your puppy and how to teach it to obey and generally be a good canine citizen.
