Puppies chew shoes, don't they?: An owner's manual for people with puppies.

Puppies DO chew shoes ... and anything else they can fit in their mouths. Puppies also nip and bite and get the zoomies. As a dog trainer, I've experienced first-hand the results when families are not prepared for life with a puppy. Too often, during a puppy's first year, the family realizes they have a problem: a young dog who is out of control. They then do one of three things: 1) nothing and live with a dog with issues; 2) contact a trainer for help; or 3) dump the dog - on the side of the road, at a shelter or at the dog pound. Out of a desire to help puppies keep their homes and grow up to be happy, healthy members of their families, I put the basics into the original "Puppies chew shoes, don't they?", published in 2010 then an updated second edition for Kindle in 2012. I've revised and edited this 2014 print edition, added 30 pages, and included an index. And now ... it's time to get ready for your puppy. This little book will tell you how.
