Nature

Dogs: The Early Years

Season 20 Episode 2 | 53m 48s | Blue Ridge/Appalachia VA Passport

More than a film about humans' love affair with puppies, this program offers a practical perspective on the breeding, training and behavior of young dogs, along with advice on mistakes to avoid when choosing a puppy. The film also follows the story of a pup brought home to live with a puppy "socializer" to prepare him for his life as a guide dog.
