Nicholas Wise

Nicholas Wise learned to become the leader of his pack when he got his first dog, Sadie many years ago. This little Jack-chi mix taught him all about dogs and what it takes to be a responsible owner. It is through her that his love of dogs began. He was blessed to have Sadie for 16 years. During their first few years together, Nicholas began to volunteer at an animal shelter. Working with different breeds of dogs at the shelter helped him learn to care for them and train them to be respectful and obedient. He has seen countless first-time dog owners struggle with their new dog or puppy, desperate for reliable answers that will help them transition into gratifying dog ownership. This is where the idea for this book was born. As Nicholas introduced his own children to their first dogs, he realized there is so much information and such a change in mindset required to be a responsible dog parent. So, he created this step-by-step guide to help you prepare your home and survive the first few weeks of puppy ownership. Nicholas’ ultimate goal is to have a content and confident dog owner raise and train a healthy, well-adjusted, well-behaved dog.
