There's some good information in this book but I found it difficult to read because there is no consecutive order, it skips around, mentions a subject and says there's more info on that in another part of the book. Just way too scattered for me. Put all that info in one chapter then repeat in another chapter if it applies there as well.
Helpful book with a lot of different information. Glad that it didn't promote things such as bark collars and other devices that past dummies books have. Wish it had been a bit deeper on the different stages, but I felt that it gave a good amount of general information for the puppy owner.
