We always called that the "blue funk" after the girls were in season and for about two months after.... once they got passed the "I should have had puppies".... they would go back to mostly normal.....
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.
