About this listen

Attention new or first-time dog owners. This audiobook is for you! Are you thinking of getting a dog as a pet, though not sure where to start? How do you pick the right dog for you, how do you prepare your home to welcome your new best pal, how do you start to train them?

It's exciting to have your first dog - though daunting at the same time. I've been where you are now, so based on my experience when I got my first dog, I have written this audiobook to help other first time dog owners or those thinking of getting in to ownership for the first time. I hope you find it helpful and informative.

When I decided I wanted a dog, I thought about it long and hard, did my research, put the time in to thinking about which dog was best for me and my circumstances, prepared my home, and then started the journey as a new owner through bonding with my new pal via training her the basics and going from there.

It was new for both of us, but we got through it and it was a magical experience, though it did take some work. Given that owning a dog for the first time is so new as well as such a big responsibility, I thought that writing this book aimed at those thinking of getting a dog for the first time may be of benefit. I hope you think so too. Inside is practical advice based on my own experience as a new dog owner myself.

Here is a preview of what you will hear about:

  • Selecting the perfect pooch for you
  • Preparing to bring them home for the first time
  • Housebreaking and toilet training
  • Basic training commands
  • And more...
