A doggie handbook by Leia

Welcoming a new hooman (human) into a dog’s life can be a tricky affair. Hoomans need to be taught the fundamentals of doggie behaviour in order to integrate successfully into our world. This book is a useful go-to guide put together by a rescued ex-breeding dog to help inexperienced canines cope with the stress of adopting a new person. From picking the right home to basic leash training, communication and safety to exercises to keep your hooman healthy and engaged, this handy handbook is for every doggie who is a new hooman-owner.
