Product Information

While your pup is working his or her way through a fear period, it’s important that you stay relaxed and patient. Our Perfect Puppy Masterclass is a great way to learn more about what drives your puppy’s behaviour and how you can shape him into a confident, well-mannered and loving pet.

Being an unwavering fan of positive, force-free dog training, and fully accepting that dogs don't love us unconditionally, I wanted to know more about what Steve had to say, and I'm pleased he could answer a few questions about how he approaches dog training using proven science-based ethical techniques. He suggests that with the vet’s permission, you take pup just inside the door, feed lots of treats, give lots of praise and then leave.

On the other hand, if you wait for the dog to go out before you switch it the washing on, the situation will never improve. And if that sounds like sour grapes it’s not meant to be, his arrival has enriched our lives and definitely re-introduced a youthful energy to the house. The fact it’s short, written in easy to understand language and talks directly to you, the reader, makes you feel very involved and ditches the somewhat archaic formality of dog training books of the past. Building positive associations at a young age makes life much easier when your bundle of fluff has grown into a big strong dog. Immediately before reading this book I read Zak George's Dog Training Revolution, so I couldn't help but compare the two trainers' approaches throughout.This is a great read for anyone who is thinking of or has already brought a puppy into their home, it's incredibly easy to read and very knowledgable.

From my understanding of dogs, these are all sensible and achievable and the rationale behind them is sound.It very much hits the headlines and painpoints, but (in my opinion) that developmental part is really critical. With a passion for ethical and science-based dog training, Steve has taught throughout Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East to lead the way in modern, positive dog training. We pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. Teddy moved in two weeks ago and quickly enlightened me on how much free time I’d had, and have now lost. A happy dog, just as a happy person, is much more likely to take in information than a terrified dog.

A real curse of the novice trainer is to justify their position by creating elaborate solutions for simple issues. Socialisation is introducing your dog to different experiences so that he or she can meet dogs, people and different situations calmly and confidently. In my early career I was involved with security and detection dogs, but always running alongside my pet training classes. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent.Playing with these three elements will ensure that no matter the distance puppy has to travel, the intriguing distractions on offer and the duration puppy has to behave for, we’re still left with a safe and happy dog. Mycket är till stor del självklart men det känns ändå skönt att kunna luta sig mot boken då vår nästa valp flyttar inom ett par veckor.
