It is not very long, yet it contains the basics! I bought one of these books for each of the new puppy families from our last litter to give them as a gift from our kennel! I will do the same again for future litters! 2 of 2 found this review helpful: Fun Dog Fun Book!, 2006-08-27 Audrey Pavia"s book portrays the Labrador as an all around fun loving family dog. If you don't own one after reading this book you will probably want to acquire one. She is very thorough in her chapters on health and training. Her chapter five (Understanding Your Lab) is an excellent and easy to understand study of canine behavior. Her chapters on whether to breed or not to breed your Labrador are very thoughtful. It is a well written,handy manual for a Labrador owner... or would be owner. 6 of 12 found this review helpful: Okay book, but not a lot of new information, 2005-07-22 I have got this book along with another yellow lab training book. This is the one I finished first. I am not that amazed of the quality of the content. Of course, you should love your puppy and treat him/her with properly. If not, why would you get one? It has a bunch of "do's" and "don'ts" which may or may help you. I have got some ideas, but me and my puppy also attended a local "puppy kindergarden" which I found fun and beneficial for both of us. My puppy is over 14 wks now, and he sure is growing and handful. If you are going to get this book, check out the content. How would you do it? You may have to buy it. But it is okay. It is a decent book overall. Have fun raising yours. We are having fun! 15 of 18 found this review helpful: Nice Book On Labrador Retreivers!, 2005-01-21 This is an inexpensive but quite accessible book about training Labs, a no nonsense nuts and bolts primer for the new caretaker of a the best dog breed yet devised by the Heavens; the Labrador Retriever. As someone who shares his house and life with four of God's single most nearly perfect craeature, I can testify as to the accuracy and relevance of all the information in this wonderful compendium. It is a literal treasure trive of data about how to raise and care for your new best friend, and it covers everything from potty training to kennel care. As a personal note, it is improtant to remember how sensitive Labs are, that one never ever strikes one, and that gently scolding them will get you the reaction you want much more efficiently than would any unjustified corporal punishment. Just remember, friends, there are really no bad dogs; only ignorant and incompetent people trying in vain to train the dogs. What you need to avoid such pitfalls is all here! Enjoy! 5 of 10 found this review helpful: Very useful, 2004-02-04 A few months ago I found a puppy lab, and I had NO CLUE as to what to do or how to train him, and I knew I wanted to keep him, so I got this book, and I really went "by the book" with him. It has been very useful. Reading about labs has allowed me to be a lot better parent to him. It has a very good section about training tricks (sit, down, shake), it explains very well what to expect from a lab (they are crazy dogs). It tells you how to deal with his nasty chewing habits, and several other things that you need to know in order to be a good pet owner.
