As a professional trainer it's been a long time since I've seen a good quality puppy book for new owners. Until this!
Now I'm a complete book and dog training nerd.
It is literally the dogs b######ks when it comes to Puppy Training books.
I'll be adding it to my reading list for students and recommending it to my puppy clients.
With all the self publishing going on these days, there are alot of trash books about so it's very much buyer beware.
So stop browsing and get this one purchased, your puppy will love you for it 💕🐩

I’m currently a hundred & odd pages in, & have read enough to know that this book was an excellent purchase.It’s been over a decade since I last owned & needed to train a puppy, & having recently acquired two chug puppers, I thought it might be a good idea to brush up on my skills.Training methods are constantly evolving, & a lot has changed over the years. I really like this book because it focuses on positive reinforcement to shape a puppy’s behaviour, rather than punishment & constant correction.The author makes it very clear that there’s no such thing as a bad puppy, just an owner that has neglected to be vigilant, & consistent.The book is common sense in print really, instead of picking up on everything your doggo shouldn’t be doing, focus on what you’d like them to do instead, it’s half the effort, & is much less confusing for all.I’ve had to unlearn saying variants of “No” to my new puppies, because it’s just not effective, it’s exhausting & frustrating for both yourself & your puppy when you’re constantly finding fault with their behaviour & trying to correct it.The foundation for the training method described in the book is to have a praise party when puppy does something you want them to do, reward with lots of fusses & a tasty treat, & pup soon learns that good things happen when they behave a certain way, & nothing exciting happens when they behave inappropriately. It makes perfect sense!Another useful tip I’ve learned is to really reinforce the “sit” command for lots of different situations, that way if your pupper friend is in doubt about what to do in an unfamiliar situation, their likely response is to sit, because they know good things happen when they do. That’s so simple it’s genius!I’m sure I’ll have picked up plenty more useful training tips by the time I’ve finished reading, but I’m already seeing progress with my puppies thanks to the bits I’ve implemented from the first half of the book.I’d really recommend this book for first time puppy owners, as well as experienced dog owners alike, there’s always things about your training that can be improved upon, & this book is clear, concise & written in an accessible manner, with lots of humour; it’s a brilliant & informative read at an excellent price.
