Love, love, love Puppy Possibilities! Your book is fantastic! I feel like we know all the “in” secrets of puppy trainers. Congratulations on a great book and thank you, thank you, thank you! We ended up getting the puppy on Saturday. We were going to wait and pick him up on Christmas Eve, but I (the cat person!) couldn't wait! The kids are so excited. He is a beagle, 12 weeks old.
