how to identify the dog breed which best suits you and/or your family
where you can look for a puppy
what you need to get for and how to prepare your home for the new family member.
toilet training
consecutive training instructions - the sit, stand, down, recall, the stay,  walking and place up (heel).


There is a chapter on rescue dogs, another on what Peter calls the fear factor and yet another on how to deal with common behaviour problems such as separation anxiety and dominance.
In the Appendix there is information on Obedience Competitions. Peter uses the Companion Dog – Novice Class Competition as an example to:
