This is the perfect book for new puppy owners! I love that it's not overly technical which makes it easy to read. But it's brimming with wisdom about bringing home a puppy to share your life with and how to really nurture your relationship. The clearly set out sections go over every part of puppy raising and inspire you to do it in a compassionate and intentional way

Good info with a perspective from the dog’s point of view.
Reviewed in the United States on 11 December 2023Verified Purchase
Very well done and I enjoyed this book. If people read books on dog raising, this is a good one. No “tricks” or “secrets”. No step by step. But teaches you to think from the dog’s perspective. Written kindly and lovingly.

Love this book! Easy to read. Easy to understand.

Highly recommend this book!
My Dog and I are huge Shay Kelly fans. I've already read this author's first two books and was so impressed with his ethics, knowledge and colloquial writing style that, even though my Dog is no longer a puppy, I couldn't resist buying this third book: Puppy Nurture. I was certainly not disappointed and neither is my adult Dog who is reaping benefits. I do wish I'd had this book when I was raising a puppy but it's never too late to be better for my Dog and this book helps me do that.
Beneficial reading for all Dog lovers and, particularly, for those raising a puppy.

Must have book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2023Verified Purchase
Huge Shay Kelly fan, since we are getting a new puppy I bought his Puppy Nurture book and have started reading a few chapters each night to my partner so we can be on the same page when the new arrival comes (he won’t read books unless it’s an audiobook so I decided to read it to him). It has been great to stop and discuss after each chapter any parts we loved and reminisce what we did with our lab x retriever last year. It’s been amazing to be able to plan what we want to do the same and how we plan on doing things differently. So thank you for all your wisdom Shay.
My partner loved that the book uses dog guardians as a term instead of pet owner as this mindset shift makes a huge difference to how we treat our companions!
