It was okay. It took a bit to finish because I just couldn't get into it

Terrible book with too few details!

We are bringing a puppy home in a few weeks and I was looking for a good "how-to" on the big things like where the puppy should sleep, how to house-train him, etc. This book glossed over those things and instead went in to PAINSTAKING detail on how to teach the puppy EXACTLY how to do 9 different commands step....by....step....I'm never going to remember that stuff! She also went on and on about using a "clicker" in conjunction with treats for training the pup but never once says WHY to use one. This one is getting exchanged.
