CDC recommended I read several books. The one with the most new information was "The other end of the leash".  The book was helpful except the author spent much of her time trying to prove her qualifications rather than teaching you something new.  I think much of her book was taken from her thesis.  I'll need to come back and correct the authors name although I think it was Middleton.

We recently moved.  When we moved here we already knew  we were getting this dog, so much of the work was done with that in mind. When you bring a dog into our home it's much like bringing a child.   You need to be aware of what poses a hazard,  Electrical cords and medicine that may have fallen unbeknownst to you.  I am an electronic geek so wires are an issue.  I also take medications for my heart and for my MS.  we need to be vigilant and cautious.
