Treat Your Dog Right With This Guide!

Any additional comments?

Animals are just as vulnerable to physical and mental health problems just like us. However, unlike us they can't tell us what's wrong. Unless you're paying really close attention or are a vet, you probably won't pick up on something until it's too late.

This book teaches you how to care for your dog properly from the start so you don't have to worry about being the cause of a health problem. Taking care of a dog sounds easy, but there's a bunch of stuff that most people don't know that could be making their dog miserable.

If you have a family pooch that you love, buy this book and give him the lifestyle he deserves.

Great tips for training dogs and puppies!

I am a new dog owner and after having quite a bit of trouble with my new puppy I decided I had better research proper training techniques as Jasper has been driving me crazy! This audio has been well worth the price! Especially with all the aggravation it has saved me and now I am starting to see some real progress in the behavior of my little buddy! Structuring a playtime was very helpful as well as structuring a training time every day has helped tremendously! He can now sit on command and he loves playing catch with the ball... a fun trick to teach! The nutrition advice was really helpful as well. If you are looking to have a better home life with your dog I would definitely recommend this audio!

Learn to care for your dogs like they're your baby

I have a delightful little pug that is a rescue. She is a purebred born with a deformity that made her useless to her breeders so we adopted her. This is an excellent book to use for tips and tricks on taking care of your puppy so they are happy and feel safe and secure in your family. We didn't have much trouble training our pup, she is really smart! It's important to take the absolute best care of your animals and this is a great book to help out with that!

Learn to raise a well trained, loving pup

I bought this book shortly after adopting two small pups. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and they were beginning to take over my house (yikes!). This book taught me how to dog proof my home, great training techniques that have really paid off and fun exercise games to help them spend some of their endless energy. This book has really brought balance into my home and my pups are well on their way to being the amazing dogs I know they are. They listen better, have stopped chewing on everything and are generally well-behaved. This is a great book for new puppy parents or those looking to add a furry companion to their family.

"All You Need To Learn About Dogs From A to Z"

What did you love best about Dogs?

I loved learning about the many different breeds of dogs, and how each breed is different from the other. I'm partial to the Yorkshire Terriers because I have one, and the description is spot on!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dogs?

The most memorable moment for me in "Dogs" is Chapter 2. When the narrator talks about "How to Care for Puppies," and he tells us that we can simulate the warmth of the puppy's mother by letting the puppy snuggle with a hot water bottle. It really warmed my heart.

What does Joshua Mackey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

When Joshua Mackey talks about different topics of how to raise a puppy or an adult dog, he gives a few examples of his friends that dogs, and how they behave or listen. I could actually see his examples as he tells the story.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Dogs?

The most important insight that I will take away after reading "Dogs" is from Chapter 7. We need to keep our dogs healthy, just as if they are our children. Always watch for behavior changes, for any sign of change could mean there is something wrong.

Any additional comments?

I loved every aspect of this "Dogs." I have rescued 3 dogs, and you really do need to give them time to get used to a new family and new rules. All dogs give unconditional love, but I feel that rescue dogs know that you saved them. My three were just so loving and protective, at times, but they just seem to have a very special way about them.

When you Adopt a Dog, Buy This Book

What did you love best about Dogs?

It is the complete instruction manual for ownership of a dog. It tells you everything from feeding, to grooming, to special problems and training. It answered the questions of a first time dog owner very well.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dogs?

The book was nonfiction so the whole thing is memorable and gives you what you need to know about dogs or puppies. It prepares you and helps you decide if you are ready for dog ownership and if you are, it helps you get through the first few days and months by teaching what you need to know about taking care of that dog or puppy.

Which scene was your favorite?

I would say I liked the training part. It was very informative and the instructions on training your dog were easy to follow and straight forward.

What did you learn from Dogs that you would use in your daily life?

I learned different behaviors of dogs or puppies and what each sound they make might mean. I learned the best way to feed a puppy and when it needs to go to the vet. I also learned about different breeds that help me make a decision on what kind of dog to get.

Any additional comments?

The book tells you anything you need to know about owning a dog and makes you a responsible pet owner merely by following all the wonderful and logical tips that are printed inside. I suggest it for any dog owner whether they have a dog already or are thinking about getting one.
