I love that it covers the basics. It gives you the why, it gives you the how, and it gives a new puppy parent something digestible to get them into puppy training.

Whether puppy is going through a fear period or not, socialisation and habituation are vital for a dog’s long term quality of life.The writing style of the book is very relaxed and easy to read and there is a lot of humour. This all makes the book enjoyable to read. I would definitely recommend this book for puppy owners. Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy is making puppy training accessible – something I’m massively passionate about. About The Author

Steve Mann has a pretty impressive record when it comes to dogs; he has worked with thousands of dogs in many different areas and he is the founder of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, so I think he knows about dogs. On this highly anticipated and sought after course, which is a must for both owners and trainers. Steve will:- 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!”.

Hobbies

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. So, as is my way, I have immediately bought and read a load of books about dogs. Oh, maybe not a load, but I have bought two for myself and two for my girls. And yes, I have read them all already. This book will not just create good dogs but good owners. It is there to enhance your bond with your dog, to eliminate negative methods and show people the way.

This book is all about delivering positive reinforcement (aka giving something puppy loves) in exchange for the puppy behaviours we want more of. We do this by delivering a ‘cue’ (asking puppy to perform a certain behaviour), ‘marking’ the behaviour (by saying “good!”) and then ‘reinforcing’ the behaviour through super delicious treats!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!
