My boys, Aiken and Donge, are 8 months old now and today was probably the first day I didn't have to chase them away from something. Well, Aiken did steal some toilet paper from the trash can and run down the stairs while Donge ran guiltily to me. When I tell him, "Aiken, drop that!" He hurriedly drops it, but then runs to the door. He drops the wad he grabs and keeps a piece about the size of two quarters hidden within his mouth to play with when I'm not looking. The little brat!! Really though, They were really pretty calm besides the races through the house.
New Puppy Books
-
My brother and his wife just got a new puppy and I'd like to send them a puppy book to encourage good socialization and positive training methods. I was thinking about the Ian Dunbar "Before and After Getting Your Puppy" book. I have not read that one yet myself. I think it would need to be a pretty easy read, I'm not sure how much time they will spend looking at it. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

I am sending home The Puppy Primer with each of my puppies this year.

I always liked "How to Raise a puppy you can live with" by Clarice Rutheford. You can find it quiet inexpensively on Amazon as a used book.

Here is a link to The Puppy Primer on Dogwise.com since the other one doesn't seem to quite work right. http://www.dogwise.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=DTB599

Thanks for the suggestions. I might get them both.
