Your Golden Retriever Puppy Month by Month provides new pet owners with everything you need to know and do at each stage of development to make sure your playful, energetic puppy grows into a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted companion. A veterinarian, a trainer, and a breeder team up to cover all the questions new owners tend to have, and many they don’t think to ask, including:
* What to ask the breeder before bringing your puppy home.
* Which vaccinations your puppy needs and when to get them.
* How to make potty training as smooth (and quick) as possible.
* What to do when your puppy cries at night.
* Why and how to crate train your puppy.
* When socialization should happen and how to make sure it does.
* When your puppy is ready to learn basic commands—like Sit, Stay, and Come—and the best way to teach them.
* When and how to go about leash training.
* How much exercise your puppy needs to stay physically and mentally healthy.
* What, how much, and when to feed your puppy to give him the nutrition he needs without the extra weight he doesn’t.
* When your puppy is ready for obedience training and how to make sure it works.
* How and how often to bathe your puppy, brush his coat, clip his nails, and brush his teeth.
* How to know when a trip to the vet is needed.
* What causes problem behaviors, when to expect them, and how to correct them.

Excellent resource
My grandkids got Lilly ,the golden retriever puppy, for Christmas and I got the family a couple of books about raising a puppy. This is an interesting and informative book to help people understand the development of their puppy. My daughter, son-in-law and grandkids have all benefited from this book. Lilly has benefited most of all though! Highly recommended!

Must read before getting a puppy
This book is well written and covers everything you can imagine, and not imagine, that goes into training and raising a labrador retriever. It can overwhelm those who have never had a dog, as a puppy or an older dog, which is exactly why the information in this book should be read and carefully considered. If you go out and get a beautiful cute little puppy before you know what to expect you are buying a HUGE MISTAKE !! If you are not ready for the time and patience that it takes to raise any dog, but especially a labrador retriever, get a cute fish or a nice plant. Both you and the dog will be better off. The book is a must read !!

Very informative book
I bought this book a few weeks ago because Iâll be getting a Golden Retriever soon. This book is so helpful in having a simple to understand step by step process of raising and training a golden retriever. I like that the author has a clear understanding of dog behavior and the Golden Retriever temperament and offers clear steps to address behavioral concerns and train your dog. It talks about what the puppy is mentally ready to learn at each month and how their temperament will change as they grow. Very helpful book and Iâm glad I bought it.

Very detailed and lots of super helpful hints and tips. I felt that our Puppy is about six weeks ahead of the schedule outlined in the book but the fact I was ableTo recognize that by the description of behaviors shows that itâs an excellent book!
