This guide seems to be good- it goes over different issues you might encounter with your dog- pretty simple- get your dog fixed and don't let them start doing things you don't want them to - deter them-get them plenty of exercise, 20 minute massage daily lots of love, let them know you're in charge- I'll hang on to this book for reference- using hints to housebreak Lilo and Chili- still want to read up more on dog training and work with my puppies...
