Thanks for the RABCK! I received the book on January 3rd but could not journal right away. When I went to the computer it would not run properly. I investigated further and found that the cord had been chewed through. I guess thats just one of the trials of a puppy.
This book seems to go right along with our puppy training class. It's nice to see the same information come from more than one place.
