Puppies can be a popular holiday item! While of course we support adopting a puppy from a local rescue or shelter, even if you or someone you know is buying a puppy from a breeder or pet store, we want to help those puppies stay happily in their new families too. The Puppy Manual is for all puppies everywhere!
The Puppy Manual from Adopt-a-Pet.com is not a comprehensive guide to raising a puppy – there are entire books devoted to that topic! However it is a super-helpful and concise 21 pages covering the basics, to help new puppy parents prepare for the arrival and first few months with a new puppy. The basic training, socialization, and guidelines explained simply with many easy-to-follow steps can be used starting at the age of 8 weeks, the earliest age at which most people would be bringing a puppy into their home. If your puppy is slightly older, as long as they are under 6 months old, these steps can still be helpful! For puppies older than 6 months, many of these tips still apply, but you’ll want to look at the other articles we have in our blog that are for older puppy & dogs too. We have several formats of The Puppy Manual for you to choose from, click any of them to download and start reading:
1. PDF free download, two sizes:
- HIGH-RES 2.5MB “The Puppy Manual” PDF great for printing
- WEB-size .5MB “The Puppy Manual” PDF great for reading on your screen
3. Kindle download: http://amzn.to/19Dr7a8 — this version costs 99 cents, the lowest we could make it available on Amazon.
We’d really appreciate your time if you’d post an honest review on Amazon, no matter what format you choose! Reviews will help it be seen by even more people, helping more puppies.
