Reddit mentions of PuppyPerfect: The user-friendly guide to puppy parenting (Howell Dog Book of Distinction)

A little late here, but let me add: Get ye to training, and read. Especially if you're getting a puppy. Training a good dog is actual work, and not something to just improvise through if you haven't done it before.

Puppy Perfect I picked up this book before we got ours, and it helped us set a regimen of positive reinforcement training. I liked it because it walked through the stages of growth, and what to work on at each stage. Ended up working very well, and we've got two very awesome bostons because of it. We also took them to classes because it was helpful to get a professional trainer's advice, and a good socialization exercise.
