This book fulfilled those goals and more. Using modern methods and behavioral science this book gave us the practical advice we needed to prepare for our puppy's arrival. It also helped us understand her development and use her natural behaviors to our advantage. I really liked the section about choosing what was important to you to help prioritize and focus on tangible goals. Mine was to have a well behaved dog I could take anywhere, that pretty much sums it up! We also wanted to give her what she needs for a happy, healthy life. The training advice has been great, we started right in and it has paid off. Overall this was the best of several books we purchased. It's well written, easy to understand and immediately made good sense to us. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, thank you, thank you for this resource! *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2017* I always check the negative reviews on a guidebook like this before I buy, and I was hesitant when I read that this book "needed an editor" because of grammatical errors...I'm so glad I bought anyway! I have a feeling the reviewer just didn't understand that the Happy Puppy Handbook was written by a British author and therefore has British colloquialisms and spellings.I'm not bringing home a Labrador puppy, but when I read the line "For weeks or months you have thought about and prepared for this wonderful occasion" I thought "YES! This book is for me." This is a great read for the planner-type who makes lists, plans ahead, bought their dog's crate and collar months before they were born (yes, I'm guilty) and wants to do the best possible job for their puppy. I'm eight weeks out from being able to bring home my puppy, and it was the perfect timing to read this book.I had dogs growing up, but always rescue pups and have never brought home an 8 week old puppy. This resource has been wonderful and my confidence is growing with every chapter. There is a little additional information/caution that I think is breed specific, regarding stairs and hip dysplasia, but even though this isn't a primary concern for my chosen breed (Dalmatian) I appreciated the advice, because better safe than sorry.I hope my Dal is as happy and well-adjusted as Pippa's Labradors must be, and with the advice in this book I feel like we're already halfway there. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars It was a quick easy read. I've never owned a dog from puppy ... *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016* It was a quick easy read. I've never owned a dog from puppy to adult so it was great to have the simple information. I think that it seems like very obvious stuff. I've done almost everything here to a T and we have had the best little puppy. The only time we have issues is when I'm not home and my husband has him and the kids. He did not read the book (and has had 3 puppies in his lifetime) and I have to explain to him what he did wrong once I come home. I'd recommend this book to anyone who has never had a puppy and would recommend people to review it that have had puppies and think they know best. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Happy Puppy Handbook: Your Definitive Guide to Puppy Care and Early Training - The Labrador Handbook: Your Definitive Guide to Care and Training - Total Recall: Perfect Response Training for Puppies and Adult Dogs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/25665686-the-happy-puppy-handbook-your-definitive-guide-to-puppy-care](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/25665686-the-happy-puppy-handbook-your-definitive-guide-to-puppy-care) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
