I'm putting together a cd of various puppy/dog related articles I've written. This would include housetraining, basic training, health and nutrition and other informative articles. Also forms for keeping your puppies records.
I'm looking for any other ideas people may have of things to include in this pack.

What a super project! I would suggest that you add a chapter about different jobs that today's dogs might have. Something that might inspire owners to begin training. I take one of our dogs to visit patients in the hospital, she's now registered as a therapy dog. That is just one idea, but you can add on to that, flyball, agility, search and rescue, schutzhund training - all of these may serve to light a fire under owners' behinds!!! A busy dog is a happy dog, and there are so many worthwhile activities in which we can involve ourselves and our dogs. Good luck!

is this something you'll be giving to people who get a new puppy or dog? if so, maybe a checklist of items to purchase before bringing the pup home would be good to include and a list of local training facilities so they could enroll in obedience classes? also an article about introducing a pup to other pets, or to children, or just to a new home in general. sounds like a good project you're putting together! good luck with it!

A socialization article! Underscore that socialization means "positive exposure and experiences" not just exposure. Maybe a checklist with all kinds of things they should introduce their pup to before 16 weeks.
Canine body language diagrams.

Grooming info (you knew a groomer would throw this one in lol), perhaps some coupons from local pet care providers for discounts on their products/services? Business cards for your preferred service providers (referring to your vet/groomer/trainer/etc CAN get you a discount on your pet's needs too ... just let them know you're doing it!).
Perhaps a list of some web resources, literature, magazines, etc to help them stay informed
Good luck!

What to expect at different ages and stages, such as teething, when to spay/neuter, etc.
