Perfectly Imperfect Puppy. The ultimate life-changing programme for training a well-behaved dog; Penguin, 2022

I've been training puppies for years and I am yet to come across one who behaved perfectly at all times. With this book I really wanted to be realistic about the expectations we should have when training a puppy and demystify the process with clear, simple advice, based on science and experience.

In this stress-free guide you will learn how to:

· Choose the right puppy for your lifestyle, including the benefits of a rescue dog

· Introduce them to the family, other pets and children

· Tackle separation anxiety

· Train your puppy, while building understanding and trust

· Socialise them, so they grow into a happy, well-adjusted dog

· Prevent behavioural problems later in life

I love working with puppies because there is so much potential to make a lasting difference to a dog's life and to their owner's. If you can get it right (or right-ish), you are paving the way for a lifetime of reliably good behaviour.

Happy training!
