    Premier has the Ultimate Puppy Toolkit on their site, too.
    Finally, a kit with some *positive* advice for new puppy owners.  Yay!!!

    Ok, that is a GREAT idea! I think they will sell some, but I think at $28.44 (shipping to the US included) they won't sell as many as they potentially could if they offered a less expensive version that maybe doesn't come in the fancy box and isn't 4 color process printing. I would love to see both types of the kits sold in the major pet store chains where most of the 'general' population gets their pet stuff.

    Sounds cool, but... what is it? Am I just not clicking on the right button - I don't see anything but a description. Is it a book, video, clicker.....?

    Seriously? $28.44 is too expensive?? ONE dog training book is $20.  I think that kit is a bargain, and I also think the fancy box is an important part of getting people to buy it.

    Hmmmm...that's pretty neat.  It looks a lot like some reading programs for children.  I bet it's in that format because many people don't like books and need something more "user friendly."  With this kit, they get colorful step-by-step instructions and pictures that are easy to understand.

    Very cool!!

    Some Pet Supply "Plus's" sell them for something like $14.  This is another product my company distributes.  It's created by Premier (the maker of the gentle leader).  I'm thinking that if you see a store that carries Premier product that they should be able to special order the  Ultimate Puppy Kit for you.

    I received this kit as part of the puppy socialization class I enrolled Lucy in. It contained great information - whether you were a first time dog owner, or hadn't had a puppy in a while. I especially appreciated the chart that explained what puppies go through at various stages of development.
     
    The notebook gives detailed information about what you should do when your pup is frightened, etc, and has a checklist of people/animals/situations you should socialize your puppy to.
