This is the excellent "follow on" booklet from the
Puppy Survival Kit book in the authors Fast Track series. Its 86 pages cover a wide range of topics to help readers understand their adolescent dog, but it should not be viewed as a substitute for professional behaviour advice for dogs that have existing behavioural problems.
