swain Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi, In a few weeks we are expecting a new arrival. I'm wanting to be prepared as it has been over 10years since having a pup in the house. Has anyone read this book by Pippa Mattinson - The Happy Puppy Handbook? If so was it helpful? Any other recommendations for something to read regarding puppy rearing? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy Daisy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi I've read it. I think it's very good for absolute novices like us- it includes preparation, transport, crate etc. It''s a bit UK focused. I have referred to it quite a few times so think it was good value for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I borrowed it from the library but might buy it if you think it's useful as a reference. Thnx for your input lazy daisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaseyKay Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I have that book, it is good on the basics and would highly recommend her book "Total Recall" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
