From the back cover:

“So here you are, right next to a new dog who just entered the house, and whose life history you know little or nothing about. Now what? How do you welcome an adult or adolescent dog into your home and incorporate this new individual into your family?

This booklet is designed to help you ease the transition from ‘new dog’ to ‘family member’ by guiding you through the first steps of this new relationship. Inside you’ll find information on what to do as you enter the house, how to handle the first few days, what to do and what not to do as you get to know each other, and tips on everything from the car ride home to the first vet visit. It includes advice on training and a section on solving common behavioral problems to help prevent the most frequent dilemmas that people encounter when adopting a new dog.”
