Once you bring your new puppy home, you will figure them out real quick...how, you just don't have a choice. They will cry and you will figure out whether they are hungry, need to poop, or just need a little attention in their new home.
But as much as you can rest assured you will just figure it out, here are some books to help you get started. They range from health to diet, training your dog to understanding your dog, and agility techniques (Agility worked wonders for us with Clover, in fact, I dont think she ever actually listened until we started to challenge her with it).
I definitely enjoyed 'The Other End of the Leash. Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs", it reminds us that it is us that need training, not the pups. It helps us to look for cues and understand how our behaviour makes the dog behave. BE SMARTER THAN YOUR DOG!!!! Isn't always as easy as it sounds!
