In this issue, we’ll look at the most important thing you can do for your new puppy, how to care for your dog’s teeth, and keeping your dog active with dog-centered sports. Don’t miss our review of "The Art of Raising a Puppy" by the New Skete Monks, who have been raising dogs for over 20 years.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

 What our customers say:
"Thank you for making your wonderful Kuranda bed! It was so easy to put together, it took me no time at all, and before I had even tied the lambs wool bed pad in place, Harrison had climbed on and made himself comfortable! He is sleeping as I write this.
I’ve been looking forward to being able to give Harrison a warm, comfortable and supportive bed. He is extremely happy with the real thing! Thank you again, Kuranda.
Bye for now, Emma Evans"

We’ve touched on quite a few topics on the blog this month. Everything from where people get their dogs to a mind-blowing tiara made for a Maltese to several fun surveys and photo essays.
One of my dogs even got into the act, filling in for me on New Year’s Day to share a few of his crazy antics.

The Art of Raising a Puppy
In "The Art of Raising a Puppy" we see how the New Skete Monks, who have been raising and training dogs for over 20 years, treat their charges during the crucial period of time from birth to 12-weeks.
Tender photographs and dialogue reflect these precious first few weeks of life. The human-canine link is vital; the monks stress the importance of gentle touch to help forge this connection. Basic puppy training techniques are explored and executed, all of which puppy owners should find easy to implement.
Virtually all types of dog problems and dog training are examined in the book, always in compassionate and easily comprehensible language.
