Description

'From Puppy to Perfect' answers all the questions about owning and training the family's first puppy. Both comprehensive and practical, this is a superb step-by-step guide for owners of all types of puppy. It starts with a survival guide for the first few weeks as the owner of a not yet perfect puppy and gradually takes the reader from house-training to everything they need to know about training a growing dog taking it from puppy to perfect. With up-to-date information incorporating the needs of urban dog owners and the risks of buying puppies online, it also responds to frequently asked questions from readers of her previous title, 'Training the Working Spaniel'. AUTHOR: Janet Menzies is a professional author and journalist who works and competes spaniels. She is a dog correspondent for The Field and writes a monthly column on dog training for the magazine. She has since made up four Field Trial Champions, notably with FTCh Gournaycourt Morag, placed twice at Cocker Championships. Colour photographs
