This book is labelled for ‘puppies’ – but it’s really not. This is a book that can help most people. There may be some application of principles learnt to alternative situations, but there is advice in there for everyone.

A regular on TV, Steve has starred in several shows including The Underdog Show and Who Let The Dogs Out? , as well as appearing on BBC Breakfast and Lorraine. He has also trained some high-profile pups, including those of Graham Norton, Lorraine Kelly and Theo Walcott. As soon as you see any signs of stress, remove the puppy from the situation. That way he or she knows that no matter what happens, you are a safe house. Bringing puppy along to classes ensures that he or she can meet dogs of all ages in a controlled and safe environment. It gives you, as an owner, a better insight into doggy body language and helps you to introduce your pup to other dogs while you are out and about. Plus, you will have a qualified trainer and behaviourist on hand to ask any questions about any aspect of your puppy’s behaviour that is confusing or frustrating you. Steve Mann is founder of the IMDT and the Author of the #1 best selling puppy training book in the UK, ‘Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy’

Even if punishment works some of the time, is it worth it? If you end up with a dog that doesn’t trust you or a dog that doesn’t want to come near you? How can that ever be a good thing? Absolutely, I think this is the new essential must have puppy book. And I am only recommending because I have read it. It is written by Steve Mann, an ethical Force Free positive trainer..founder of IMDT.

Raising a puppy is one of the single toughest tasks you’ll do – besides raising children. But, kids and puppies raise very different issues, so having a book to guide you through every step, seems like a fantastic idea to me, and something I really wish I’d had before I’d gotten Indie! If you don't follow me on Facebook (and if not, why not?!) you may not have seen the news that we have put down a deposit on a puppy. We can't bring her home for another fortnight, but we are in love with her already. We’ll also design a fully comprehensive 4 week one -to-one/home visit syllabus and lesson plan for you to implement with your clients I bought this last in 2020 when I got my new pup, (yes it has taken me nearly two years to write this review) now I have had dogs in my life since the day my parents took me home from the hospital when I was born and then I proceeded to share the bottom drawer of the cabinet with a pup (long story).Steve Mann’s love for dogs radiates throughout the book and every training exercise, every case study and every memory I read just made me feel more excited to finally bring my puppy home (she’s called Rosie 🐶). As a complete doggy novice, it was important that I read a book that explained the fundamentals in dog training and I’m so glad that I chose this one. The author’s whole philosophy is based on positive reinforcement and teaching your new friend the behaviours that you want them to exhibit, not just stopping them from doing things by screaming their name or yelling “NO!”.

In nature, if they were to wander too far from Mum’s protection they could be vulnerable to all sorts of things.
