|  | Your Golden Retriever's Life by Betsy S. Sino
Dogs have become part of the family in more than 35 million North American households. Unfortunately, not all owners have the up-to-date information they need to build a rewarding, lifelong relationship with the dog they love. In Prima's Your Pet's Life series, pet-care experts give new -- and veteran -- dog owners everything they need to know to raise a healthy, happy dog from puppy to indispensable companion. Readers will discover invaluable advice on how to: -- Establish a successful relationship from day one -- Understand a dog's point of view -- Make dogs and children best friends -- and safe companions -- for life -- Stop behavior problems before they start -- Provide the best nutrition for each stage of life Also, in contrast to most breed-specific books, which use generic training sections, every book in the Your Pet'S Life series contains a training section specifically geared to the needs of and special requirements of each individual breed. From selecting the right puppy and socializing him properly to making sure he has the correct food and care, Prima's Your Pet's Life series examines all of the critical issues owners need to consider to make their dog's life special.
