THE GOOD PUPPY MANUAL

Ever wish your dog came into this world with the knowledge of how to be “the perfect puppy?”   What lessons might those be?  National Award Winning author Bobbie Pell answers those questions in a humorous adventure following two spirit puppies into the mortal realm.  Their behaviors reflect how well they learned, or didn’t learn, the advice given in The Good Puppy Manual!

For over 30 years, Bobbie Pell bred and raised Golden Retrievers.  Bobbie's goal is to add humor and heart lessons to the experience of owning a puppy, or even bringing a new dog into the home, by blending a fictional tale with practical training tips.  A delightful read for all dog owners!
