Why does she bite my hands? Where should he sleep? Can I share my snacks? And why is the puppy suddenly tearing around the house at nine o'clock at night?
My First Puppy answers one hundred of them, one at a time, in plain language a young reader can handle alone. Together they add up to a complete first course in puppy care: feeding, sleep, potty training, play, training, grooming, safety, health, and learning to read what a dog is actually telling you.
Every question gets its own full-page illustrated infographic with a clear answer, the reason behind it, and the small practical details that turn an excited child into a genuinely good puppy owner.
What is inside- Bringing your puppy home - choosing a puppy, first-day nerves, and what to buy before the big day
- Feeding - puppy food, treats, table scraps, and why puppies eat things that are not food
- Sleep - crates, night-time zoomies, and why a tired puppy turns grumpy
- Potty training - accidents, routines, and how long it honestly takes
- Play and exercise - safe toys, tug-of-war, chewing, and how much play a puppy needs
- Puppy training - sit, name recognition, rewards, jumping up, and meeting new dogs
- Health and vet visits - shots, worms, microchips, and how to tell when a puppy is unwell
- Grooming - baths, nail trims, brushing, teeth, and ears
- Safety - household dangers, poisonous plants, hot weather, ID tags, and car trips
- Dog body language - tail wags, flat ears, head tilts, belly rolls, and raised hackles
- Growing up - baby teeth, adult size, and how a puppy becomes a dog
- Fun dog facts - wet noses, dreaming, burying bones, hiccups, and the science of smell
- Why does my puppy get the zoomies?
- Can my puppy sleep in my bed?
- Why does my puppy bite my hands?
- How do I potty train my puppy?
- Why does my puppy tilt its head?
- How does my puppy know when I am sad?
- How big will my puppy get?
- Do puppies dream?
Each page stands on its own, so children can start anywhere, follow whatever they are curious about that day, and stop without losing their place. The short question-and-answer format suits confident readers and reluctant ones equally well, and the illustrations carry as much of the answer as the words do.
Written for children aged 6 to 12 who have just met their first puppy, are counting down to one, or simply love dogs. A practical gift for a new puppy household, and a welcome companion for any parent who has run out of answers by Tuesday.
One hundred questions. One hundred pages. One very well-informed young dog owner.
