Book Review 40/60
Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It by Marge Rogers and Eileen Anderson
This is it, my favorite puppy socialization book. It balances "but I want my adult dog to be people/dog neutral" with "also I'd like her not to want to eat the delivery person" and "what if dogsports!!!!". It's slightly overwhelming but so is owning a puppy, and it is EXTREMELY straight forward. They do not give options, they give directions, which is exactly what puppy owners need.
Also Elieen has a blog of free information on everything dog here, which I adore.
5/5

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”
— Melissa Holbrook Pierson, The Secret History of Kindness (2015)

Book Review 39/60
Social, Civil and Savvy by Laura VanArendonk Baugh
Guess What I Just Got A Puppy.
This is a lovely and very approachable book on puppy socialization for most people. For me it's a hair short and cursory. I bookmarked a couple of exercises I'll be using with puppy, and it is going on my recommendations list, but it's not the BEST for ME.
4/5
