The "tiny dog owners" Guide to Toy Breed Dogs

The Complete Guide to Toy Breed Dogs: Everything from Bringing Them Home, The First 72 Hours, Training, Feeding, Socializing, Housebreaking, and Loving Your New Tiny Dog! "I am so glad I bought this book. As a new small breed puppy owner, I had many questions and concerns about how to care for a smaller dog. I had only had larger dogs growing up. This book has been a great resource! It has helped me numerous times already. I would definitely recommend this to anyone getting a toy breed dog or thinking about it." Pam Martin (Toy Maltipoo Owner) Toy breeds are popping up everywhere-Maltipoos, Yorkies, Chihuahuas, and all the adorable mixes in between. They're cute, they're pocket-sized, and they're showing up in homes that have never had a dog before. >In The "tiny dog" Owners Guide to Toy Breed Dogs, special needs teacher, wife, mom of three, and Maltipoo breeder Christine Plano walks you through everything you actually need to know to raise a happy, healthy toy breed dog-from the first car ride home to the senior years. A "tiny dog" breeder who lives and experiences everything she writes. As an enthusiastic "dog mom" to six of her own tiny dogs and a special needs teacher who uses dog therapy with her students, she is a wealth of toy breed dog experience and knowledge. With warmth, honesty, and a little bit of humor, Christine covers: - How to choose the right tiny dog for your real life- Setting up your home so your little dog is safe (and you stay sane)- Housebreaking tiny bladders without losing your mind- Feeding toy breeds safely (and avoiding scary blood sugar crashes)- Grooming for different coat types-without constant matting disasters- Confidence, socialization, and preventing the "yappy little monster" stereotype- Barking, anxiety, and alone time-how to help your dog actually relax- Everyday safety, travel, first-aid, and senior care for little dogs- And so much more! Drawing on her experience with both students and small dogs, Christine shows how tiny dogs can bring calm, comfort, and joy-not just to families, but to everyone they meet. Whether you're already in love with a little dog or thinking about bringing one home, this book will help you go from "What have I done?" to "We've got this" (most days, anyway).
