Expanded Description:
When you choose a new puppy, you need to meet six developmental deadlines before your puppy is just five months old. "BEFORE You Get Your Puppy" covers the first three developmental deadlines covering the period of puppy selection until your puppy's first week at home.
1st Developmental Deadline: Your Education About Puppy Education - Before you search for a puppy you need to complete your education about puppy education. You need to know how to select a good puppy and how puppies work. Selecting a puppy is similar to selecting a car: Do lots of research beforehand and "test drive" a wide variety. But first, you need to learn how to drive.
2nd Developmental Deadline: Evaluating Your Prospective Puppy's Progress - Before you choose your puppy, you need to know how to assess your prospective puppy's current socialization and educational status. Regardless of breed or breeding, if socialization, housetraining, and basic manners are not well underway by eight weeks of age, the puppy is already developmentally retarded.
3rd Developmental Deadline: Errorless Housetraining & Chewtoy-Training Make certain that an errorless housetraining and chewtoy-training program is instituted from the very first day your puppy comes home.

| Great Dog Owner Book, May 29, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Lori D. |
This book and Dunbar's After You Get Your Puppy book were recommended by our dog trainer/behaviorist. Before You Get Your Puppy is an excellent book that educates the potential dog owner as to how to find a good breeder and how to properly train their puppy the first day it comes home. This is a must read for the dog owner BEFORE they get a puppy. Training a puppy isn't just about house training your dog. You have to teach it how to behave in all kinds of situations and if you miss the window of opportunity to teach it correctly when it is still very young, it is far more challenging to reverse improper training.
If anyone wants to raise a well behaved and happy puppy, educating themselves beforehand, on how to be a good dog owner is crucial. |

This book tells you what you need to know before you bring a new puppy into your house. It covers everything from choosing a breeder to the importance of early socialization, housetraining and chewtoy training. This as well as Ian's, After You Get Your Puppy are a must for prospective puppy owners. Personally I believe breeders should provide both of these books to everyone who purchases a puppy from them.
