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

Product Information

As your puppy develops from birth to maturity, his body and brain go through a lot of changes. Puppy fear periods are a normal part of growing up. Behaviourists believe that they are a primeval mechanism to keep the puppy safe from danger and help it to live comfortably with the other dogs in the social group. Nothing good is ever easy, right? You brought home a puppy and surely you didn’t think it was going to be plain sailing from there on out, right?

A dog training and behaviour expert, Steve presents dog training and behaviour seminars worldwide including Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East and is regarded as a leading educator, with his recently released BBC Maestro online course available worldwide.

The things we take for granted can be quite scary to a puppy or even to an older dog who has never come across them before. Don’t overwhelm them and let them get used to things in their own time. Employ some common sense though. If puppy is not keen on the washing machine, don’t put his crate right next to it. On the other hand, if you wait for the dog to go out before you switch it the washing on, the situation will never improve. Just make sure your dog can see and hear the monstrous machine from a distance and has something positive to pair with the sight and sound of it eg a yummy kong, filled with their favourite treats can be a fun thing to do whilst the washing machine monster is on!. Over time, the fear will subside – the dog will become habituated. Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy is making puppy training accessible – something I’m massively passionate about.

Whether puppy is going through a fear period or not, socialisation and habituation are vital for a dog’s long term quality of life.Apart from writing, and running the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, I’m just trying to live the life my dogs would want me to live. Good food, good exercise, good sleep, and plenty of windows just to be together. That’s plenty. This book claims to be a “simple step-by-step guide to raising and training a happy puppy or dog”. But is it so simple?

The book, however, does introduce it in an easy manner. The fact it’s short, written in easy to understand language and talks directly to you, the reader, makes you feel very involved and ditches the somewhat archaic formality of dog training books of the past. Having read 'Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy' I knew this course was going to be good! I've completed the IMDT 2 and 4 day courses which were great and I have to say, this course is mind-blowing! So much content in just 3 days all delivered with humour in a relaxed and friendly manner. 10 out of 10 Succesful completion of this course which includes a small assessment to ensure the content is fully understood and that great puppy lesson plans can be designed and delivered, will result in attendees being listed on the Easy Peasy Puppy Instructor directory for owners to be able to book your services, plus sucessful attendees will be able to use the licensed Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy QUALIFIED TRAINER logo on all of their socials and marketing materials so owners know they're booking the best for their puppy! 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’An excellent and encouraging book that emphasises the importance of teaching your puppy positive behaviour and enjoying being with you without constantly telling the owner off (Ian Dunbar, I’m looking at you...) Never put the puppy under pressure. Forcing them to meet the big dog, talk to Aunty Joan, sit on the kerb while lorries whizz past his nose (or whatever the stimulus may be) will make the dog even more reluctant next time the situation arises. Something I loved about this book was that it didn’t just tell you “Do X, then Y, Then Z and Presto! Perfect puppy”, no, it tells you why you should do it in a certain way, and even gives you examples of the problems it may create if you don’t! It’s a fantastic insight into the mind of your dog. Steve will be walking you through all of the effective puppy exercises he has performed in his puppy classes and 1.2.1s, as well as introducing you to many new and exciting activities that shouldbe part of a new puppy and owner’s education, but rarely are! Whether you're living with a brand-new puppy, an adult dog or rescue dog, my methods will give you everything you need to know. Using simple, proven, science-based and ethical techniques, I'll show you how to have the best relationship with your pup, as well as teaching you how to get super-fast recalls, great loose lead walking, perfect manners and much, MUCH more...
