I wish I had this book the first time I raised a puppy!
The Positive Puppy Training Blueprint is the book I wish that I had the first time I raised a puppy. Each of the key steps is presented clearly and in a way that is entertaining without ever being condescending. Though I live with an adult dog, quite set in her ways--and I couldn’t conceive ever having to train a puppy again--having read this book, it just doesn’t seem as daunting. Especially since I now see that it’s not just about training the dog—but, it’s also about training yourself, the owner! It covers every imaginable question or topic about raising a new dog! Along the way, the tips and tricks you learn—some obvious, but some of them simple-but-revelatory—will make you recommend this book, as I do, to anyone even considering getting a new puppy! It is the totally essential guidebook that should be required reading for anyone who interacts with dogs.
I absolutely adore the way this author broke dog training up into bite size pieces. Though my dog is no longer a puppy, she's 2 years old, this has been incredibly helpful.
Everything is broken down into weekly sessions. There are frequently asked questions. There is a fun and helpful Facebook group. There are fantastic references with hyperlinks at the back of the book for more information. There is a summary that brings everything together.
If you've got a dog, I recommend this book.
What a great reference! I know for sure I'll be looking at it over and over again. Plus, this is going to come in handy when I'm training my dogs how to manage themselves on a boat. It couldn't have come in a better time.
My favorite quote from the book:
"Potty training, crate training, and boundaries are fundamental building blocks to making the house a more comfortable place for your puppy."
This book doesn't get you bogged down in endless training details. The author gets right to the point which is what new puppy owners need, right? If you already have a puppy, you don't have lots of extra time on your hands.
I appreciate his methods, too. There are lots of theories out there on dog training, but if it doesn't resonate, you're not likely to try it. I did use a number of the training suggestions with my new puppy, and they work.
Not to be overlooked is the invitation to author's Facebook group where you find ongoing encouragement, which I also personally appreciated.
I am definitely giving a 5 start. I can see the author has a lot of experience and also has laid out such a clear week-by-week program for training my dog. It was a pleasure to read this book! Definitely recommend if you're looking for everything you need to know about dog training.
I love the 8 week program. It is easy to follow and it is not in any way overwhelming. It is also written in a way that your kids who wanted the dog in the first place can follow along as well.
With a puppy that thinks everything is a chew toy I am absorbing everything I can to make our lives happier. I definitely took some notes that I will be trying.
