Do you want to learn how to help your dog feel safe? Do you dream of owning a dog who enjoys meeting new people and exploring new places? Kerry Nichols, founder of Nicholberry Goldens, brings readers into the whelping box and onto the frontlines of a puppy's developmental journey with her trademark clarity and wit.

With guidance about everything from crate training to spaying and neutering, Puppy Brain distills the latest insights and breakthroughs from canine research into practical, actionable, evidence-based guidance.

Through years of research into brain development and the use of intentional breeding practices that focus on honouring a puppy's choices and needs, Kerry has developed an approach that results in a harmonious, fulfilling relationship with our dogs rather than one steeped in rote obedience. Puppy Brain will reshape the way you think about your dog and show you how to meet your dog's most basic needs.

About the Author

Kerry Nichols is an attorney turned dog breeder and the founder of Nicholberry Goldens, a small family kennel in Clovis, California. Committed to breeding Goldens with the strictest adherence to health standards, Kerry also focuses on raising emotionally resilient, well-balanced puppies who become beloved family members. She has been breeding Golden Retrievers for over a decade, and since 2013, she has opened the virtual doors to the whelping box, offering her massive audience of "virtual breeders" a daily dose of puppy cuteness and fascinating information on puppy development. Among the notable owners of Goldens she has bred and raised are the founder of Tinder and executives from Oprah, Facebook, and Microsoft. Her dogs can sometimes be glimpsed on Hollywood sets, both in front of and behind the cameras.
