A straightforward guide to welcoming a new dog home. This book establishes a solid timeline for all the key decisions a new dog owner must make, whether adopting a puppy, an adult dog or a rescued dog. Dr. Bruce Fogle provides his time-tested 20 Essential Tips for a Well-Behaved Dog and offers guidance on the 30 most popular breeds (including purebreds, crossbreeds and problem breeds). Careful attention is given to various concerns, such as allergies and urban, suburban and apartment living. New Dog is packed with accurate, up-to-date information and wise counsel on a range of such topics as: - Where to find the right dog
- Known inherited conditions
- Temperament testing and good canine citizenship
- Common problems: inappropriate chewing, aggression, boredom
- Effective communication
- Routine health care and choosing a vet
- Expert training sequences to follow and practice
- Traveling with dogs and choosing a kennel and a doggy daycare.
More than 300 commissioned color photographs, dozens of useful tips, and recent breakthroughs in veterinary science all make this the ideal guidebook for new dog owners.

Definitely worth the buy March 15, 2008
I have owned four dogs over the last 20 years. When my beloved 2 year old Weimaraner died suddenly about 9 months ago, I knew I would let my heart heal awhile and then delve back into puppydom again. I never really read any books on working with puppies in the past and with three children, I really wanted to do this right. I have read the book twice and have 4 weeks to "train" my older children (11 & 13) how we are going to approach having a new puppy in the house.
The book covers a wide variety of topics and is a very easy read. You don't have to be a vet to read it. It is straight forward and the added quips from the author make me feel like we are having a chat about getting a dog over a cup of coffee. I loved this book and would highly recommend it. If I lived in the U.S. right now, I would hunt this guy down and make him be my vet!
