The year of the puppy : how dogs become themselves / Alexandra Horowitz. by Horowitz, Alexandra, author. New York : Viking, [2022] Subjects Puppies.   Puppies -- Growth. ISBN:  9780593298008 (hardcover) : 0593298004 (hardcover) : Description:  306 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Few of us meet our dogs at Day One. The dog who will, eventually, become an integral part of our family, our constant companion and best friend, is born without us into a family of her own. A puppy's critical early development into the dog we come to know is usually missed entirely. Dog researcher Alexandra Horowitz aimed to change that with her family's new pup, Quiddity (Quid). In this scientific memoir she charts Quid's growth from wee grub to boisterous sprite, from her birth to her first birthday. Horowitz follows Quid's first weeks with her mother and ten roly-poly littermates, and then each week after the puppy joins her household of three humans, two large dogs, and a wary cat. She documents the social and cognitive milestones that so many of us miss in our puppies' lives, when caught up in the housetraining and behavioral training that easily overwhelms the first months of a dog's life with a new family. In focusing on training a dog to behave, we mostly miss the radical development of a puppy into themselves -through the equivalent of infancy, childhood, young adolescence, and teenagehood. By slowing down to observe Quid from week to week, The Year of the Puppy makes new sense of a dog's behavior in a way that is missed in a focus only on training. Horowitz keeps a lens on the puppy's point of view-how they (begin to) see and smell the world, make meaning of it, and become an individual personality. She's there when the puppies first open their eyes, first start to recognize each other and learn about cats, sheep, and people; she sees them from their first play bows to puberty. Horowitz also draws from the ample research in the fields of dog and human development to draw analogies between a dog's first year and the growing child -- and to note where they diverge. The Year of the Puppy is indispensable for anyone navigating their way through the frustrating, amusing, and ultimately delightful first year of a puppy's life"-- Provided by publisher   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Horowitz Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.707 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList
