This week Michelle Fern is joined by Vanessa Woods, co-author of Puppy Kindergarten: The New Science of Raising a Great Dog. Written with Brian Hare, Puppy Kindergarten is the first book about raising puppies to be written by evolutionary scientists - moreover, Duke University’s Puppy Kindergarten is the first large-scale study tracking puppy development since 1950.

This husband-and-wife team, along with a retired service dog named Congo, have meticulously observed and documented the growth of one hundred and one puppies at the Duke Puppy Kindergarten. Their mission was to unravel what it truly takes to raise a great dog, and the findings are as enlightening as they are charming.
