REVIEW:
Outstanding book. The most realistic in terms of understanding your puppy's needs and meshing them with your needs. For instance, Dr .Fogle suggests incorporating your dog's crate into an exercise pen complete with potty area and play toys creating a mobile "safe space" for your puppy to play and rest beside you until he or she is potty trained. This is much better, in my opinion, than having to crate your dog every time you can't pay full attention to him or her. Wish I'd found this years ago. I'd have saved a lot of headaches and heartaches with past puppies. With due respect to the Monks and Mother Knows Best this book, is actually the best.
