"There is no single person on the face of the planet to whom dog trainers and owners (not to mention dogs) owe more." - - - Jean Donaldson, Director of San Francisco SPCA Academy "Ian Dunbar's intellect, experience, and common sense combine in 'Before and After Getting Your Puppy' to create a landmark book about the selection and training of puppies. It should be required reading for anyone even thinking about adopting a pup." - - - Dr Nicholas H. Dodman, author of 'If Only They Could Speak' and Director of the Animal Behaviour Clinic at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. "A delight to read. Dr Dunbar's 'Before and After Getting Your Puppy' is filled with essential, preventative puppy-raising information. If a new puppy owner buys just one book, this should be it!" - - - Amy Tan, dog lover and bestselling author of 'The Joy Luck Club'.  Author - Dr Ian Dunbar
