About this listen
The New York Times bestselling authors of The Genius of Dogs take us into their “Puppy Kindergarten” at Duke University, a center to study how puppies develop, to show us what goes in to raising a great dog.
Don’t miss Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods in Netflix’s film Inside the Mind of a Dog!
“A firehose of knowledge suffused with levity and charm.”—Alexandra Horowitz, author of Inside of a Dog
What does it take to raise a great dog? This was the question that husband-and-wife team Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods hoped to answer when they enrolled one hundred and one puppies in the Duke Puppy Kindergarten. With the help of a retired service dog named Congo, Brian, Vanessa, and their team set out to understand the secrets of the puppy mind: What factors might predict whether a puppy will grow up to change someone’s life?
Never has cuteness been so cutting edge. Applying the same games that psychologists use when exploring the development of young children, Hare and Woods uncover what happens in a puppy’s mind during their final stage of rapid brain development. Follow the adventures of Arthur, who makes friends with toy dinosaurs; Wisdom, the puppy genius; and Ying, who fails at cognitive games that even pigeons usually pass with flying colors. Along the way, learn about when puppies finally start to retain memories for longer than just a few seconds, or when they finally develop some self-control.
Raising dozens of puppies on a college campus means you get pretty good at answering big questions, such as: When do puppies sleep through the night? How do you stop them from eating poop? How can we help our puppies grow up to be the best dogs they can possibly be? Whether you are a new puppy parent or a perennial puppy lover, Puppy Kindergarten will answer every question you’ve ever had about puppies—and some you never thought to ask.

Story
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 our 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.

More than 90 percent of dog owners consider their pets to be members of their family. But often, despite our best intentions, we are letting our dogs down by not giving them the guidance and direction they need. Unwanted behavior is the number-one reason dogs are relinquished to shelters and rescue groups. The key to training dogs effectively is first to understand why our dogs do what they do. And no one can address this more authoritatively than the diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.

Three years later, Bunny can now communicate using over one hundred buttons, stringing together important, relatable, philosophical phrases such as “Love you Mom,” “Dad went poop,” and “Ugh why?”

A powerful new theory of human nature suggests that our secret to success as a species is our unique friendliness. For most of the approximately 300,000 years that Homo sapiens have existed, we have shared the planet with at least four other types of humans. All of these were smart, strong, and inventive. But around 50,000 years ago, Homo sapiens made a cognitive leap that gave us an edge over other species. What happened?

Critic reviews
“As the ingenious minds behind starting a Puppy Kindergarten at Duke, there is but no question that Vanessa Woods and Brian Hare needed to write a book on puppies. Nor is there any question of the pleasures this book brings, for fans of science, puppies, and puppy science. Read it, and get a firehose of knowledge suffused with levity and charm.”—Alexandra Horowitz, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Inside of a Dog
“Insightfully and delightfully, Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods combine deep affection and wide experience with their unique scientific approach to puppy minds. Lots of people can tell you about dogs, but Hare and Woods—having worked with hundreds of puppies and collected data on thousands of family dogs—understand dogs in a unique way. This book isn’t just about puppies. This book shows us who puppies are, how their minds develop, and how to raise a great dog. And it does so gently and lovingly.”—Carl Safina, author of Beyond Worlds
“This book answers questions I have asked myself all my life—can breeds predict personality? Are dogs intelligent, and is it heritable? Why do we feel so attached to them to the point that they are part of our families? This book satisfies me on all levels—as an ethologist, a volunteer who raises guide dogs, and as a dog lover.”—Isabella Rossellini, actress and activist
