Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy: The UK's No.1 Dog Training Book

Product Information

The author even gives you some great case studies from his career as a trainer with some famous names you may well know! And it does it all with levity and humour that I can really appreciate. The tone is certainly something that a stressed puppy owner would appreciate also. Is Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy just for puppies? It also doesn’t really cover development. It very much hits the headlines and painpoints, but (in my opinion) that developmental part is really critical. Habituation is a big word that means exposing your pup to every day smells, noises, activities until the dog barely notices them. Things like the washing machine, vacuum cleaner, telephone, x-box, cats and the sound of the neighbour’s lawn mower.

Steve Mann is Founder of The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, the IMDT, and Author of ‘Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy’, the highly anticipated puppy bible! It’s important that you don’t avoid scary things altogether otherwise you and your dog will have a limited lifestyle in the future. So next time you’re in that situation make sure you stay at a “safe” distance – your puppy’s interpretation of safe, not yours – and start building positive associations Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy is a wonderful introduction to becoming a responsible puppy parent. One who wants to use modern training methods to get the best out of their dog and craft a partnership, as opposed to fostering uncertainty.
