My sincerest Gratitude to all who are reading thus far. I hope you find everything you are looking for in this book and more.Some key points:your research is only as good as the source it came from In order to properly train, we must first properly understand and once we properly understand, we must properly stimulate the social and emotional development of our puppies.I do not claim to be the most educated breeder in the world, actually none of us are (although when we stick together, together we are much stronger); however, I strongly believe my years of research, experience, and knowledge can be beneficial to many…so here I am to share :).
