 It's on NLSBARD.loc.gov.  Susan provided the book number, author, and title, so it should be easy to find.

 Hi Susan,
Dr. Becker has a comprehensive website, too. I've used it over the years for information and help with my pet dogs. 😊

Wags,

I found this book by accident on BARD:

Your dog:  The Owner's Manual:

Hundreds of Secrets, Surprises and Solutions for Raising a Healthy, Happy Dog

By Marty Becker

DB88238

This book is a comprehensive guide for the dog owner, discussing everything from how to choose a puppy to how to know when it's time to make that hard decision to euthanise your dog.

Dr. Becker is apparently a well-known veterinarian, and also a life-long dog owner.  

There are lots of issues that would not really apply to us as guide dog handlers, but the vast majority of the book is extremely useful and helpful.

Dr. Becker discusses training, dealing with problem behaviors, good veterinary care, treatment of medical conditions and more.

This book was published in 2011, so some of the information and resource references may be dated, due to changes that have happened in the last nine years; but I found the book so readable, and the advice so down-to-earth and approachable, I've decided to save it, knowing I'll refer to it at least once in a while throughout my guide dog handler life.

Check it out if you're interested.

Kind regards,

Susan Jones
