May 7, 2009 by: AT
The purpose of this 70 page booklet is to provide new puppy owners with accurate information about house training, dog food choices, socialization, play biting, and meeting basic needs.
I know, you are thinking, “There is information everywhere, hundreds of books to choose from and experts are on every corner.” Exactly! Everyone is an expert.
That’s the problem. Pet supply store clerks, your neighbor, your family, and nearly one third of the United States population know exactly how to raise a well mannered puppy.
If that were true, why are there so many puppies and dogs relinquished to shelters and rescue organizations for behavior problems?

It’s impossible to know, but some claim more dogs are euthanized because of behavior problems than all other ailments combined!
Have you looked at all the books on house training a puppy? Many have contradicting information. Some books are written by people who do not even practice in the field.
The authors of these books repeat information that he or she gathers elsewhere. Some are excellent writers but inexperienced in the practical aspect of teaching a puppy to potty outside, or to relax while confined.
- I have worked with a few horses, a few birds, several house cats and 900-1200 (best guess) different puppies and dogs.
- I am a full time companion animal behavior counselor with a specialization in canine behavior.
- I understand what information a puppy owner needs to succeed.
- I know the critical period of socialization for your puppy ends at 12-16 weeks.
- I understand play-biting is a normal stage of development.
- I know precisely how to react when a puppy is frightened by a few normal, daily events.
- I know how you can teach your puppy to love resting in her crate, no matter what is happening around her!
- I realize scolding a puppy while the pup is urinating inside the house is a normal human reaction. I also know it is a huge mistake. Scolding teaches your puppy that it is unsafe to urinate near you.
I have accurate, practical advice at a fair price. Following my advice will help you raise a well mannered puppy.
I welcome any correspondence, comments, dog pics (with signed release statement), documented stories of success, suggestions and questions from those who read and follow my advice. Contact me anytime!
