Living in Harmony with Your Puppy

May 19 2008

Are you looking to adopt a new puppy for the family? Maybe you need a little “sunshine” into your home, a puppy can brighten up your day… even the gloomiest of all. We’ve all been told how a dog is man’s best friend, and truly they are. You may even be surprised that these gentle pets can love you unconditionally, great life companion indeed.

My UK-based friend, Nicole Mackie, has recently published a fantastic book that can help you through your early puppy days. I just received my own copy and have been browsing through the pages these past days. The book is really good!

Living in Harmony with your Puppy is a book for anyone considering a new puppy. Full of pictures and information about finding the right breed for your lifestyle, finding the right breeder, preparing for your new puppy, your puppy’s first day, understanding the body language and what your puppy is trying to tell you, what affects your puppy on a daily basis, training tips, nutrition and much more.

Forword by Turid Rugaas

The book is available through www.shalvaholistics.com and through Amazon.com

Hit your molars, please!
