Bringing a new dog into your home can be an exhilarating, albeit disruptive, experience. If your model is a puppy, you may face weeks of complex software downloads (otherwise known as "training"), plus maintenance of its complicated and ever-changing physical plant. While in most cases adult dogs don’t require this level of commitment, they still need firm guidance as they find their place in a new setting. For this reason it is advisable, if possible, to stay home with your new canine during its first two or three days.
The Dog Owner's Manual is a basic guide to dog care. The book was written by a celebrated veterinarian and an acclaimed author. It provides dog owners with well-researched and helpful information presented in a lighthearted manner. The creators chose to write the book in a style similar to what you'd find in "operating instructions" for a car or computer. Of course they--and we--respect the fact that our beloved pets are not products or machines!
