5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book

We welcomed a lab puppy after 16 years since our last pup, 13 since being dog owners. This book is perfectly laid out, and covers everything Labrador from birth all the way up. The table of contents is easily on the eyes, making it helpful to find specific topics. The overall layout is beautiful and clearly sectioned. Loads of precise information written extremely clear and well. Definitely recommend this for preparing for and understanding your Labrador.

I have never had a dog before so I took the time to read this book cover to cover, as did my whole family. The information is straightforward, easy to understand, easy to implement and extremely helpful for a new puppy owner. Her writing style is entertaining and informative. I like how she warns you that it will chew everything in your house and then puts a cute puppy picture on the next page to make you almost forget what she just wrote.

This book is well written and covers a lot of information. A good resource for the Lab owner. I have a Labradane so I had to also get a book on Great Danes to combine the two breeds together. What a good combination for a family pet. Have a great day and may the LOVE of JESUS CHRIST richly bless you. Charles(NAHUM 1:7 / JOHN 3:16 KJV).

Nice book was priced a little on the high side for the basic informtion given in book. Book came on time with no problems, was well packaged in box. I feel someone with no dog training experience can't find this book helpful. Even though it talks about Labradors everything in this book can be applied to any dog when it comes to teaching the dog and one's self.

This book offers guidance on health and general care as well as training. It has been exceedingly helpful during the early months our two Labrador pups. They are now 6 months old, and we will continue to refer to it as they grow.

Love this book! The author gives step by step guide on how to start out training your lab. Worked like a charm with my pup, started him at 2.5 months. Just gave 4 stars though because I think the book would have been better with illustrations for the hand signals, etc. I bought the book so I wouldn't have to go on the Web, but you have to go on the Web if you want visuals. Highly recommend!!!
