Synopsis

A simple step-by-step guide to puppy training - covering topics from selecting your puppy and early preparations, through to training a growing dog.

This book answers all the questions about owning and training the family s first puppy. Both comprehensive and practical, this is a superb step-by-step guide for owners of all types of puppy.

Outline of the book:

Part one: The six week survival guide

This is your step-by-step guide to surviving your first few weeks as the owner of a not yet perfect puppy. It takes you from the time you buy your puppy, up to the end of your first month of having the puppy at home. By this time your puppy will be three months old and beginning to grow up quite quickly, ready to enter the next stage of their life.

Part two: How to be a perfect puppy owner

Now that the frantic first few weeks have been successfully managed, there s time to think about what happens next. This section will give you an idea of what to expect and what your puppy will expect.

Part three: Puppy from three month to about six months

Now that your puppy is settled in and you have all established a good routine, it s time to move forward into the early stages of training. This section covers early obedience and socialising work; you will teach the basic vocabulary and start using verbal instructions as well as introducing a whistle and the lead.

Part four: Big school training from about six months

As they reach the age of about six months your puppy will be flying! Part four takes you through the next six months or so of serious training to help your pup be a well behaved, obedient and trained young dog at around a year old.

Part five: Your best friend

As you and your young dog near the end of your first year together, now it is time to have some real fun! By now they have passed loads of doggy GCSEs and maybe their canine A-levels and it s time to think of university.
