• Puppy training for the critical first eight weeks a puppy spends in their new home, perfect for fosters, breeders, and new puppy owners
• Positive training methods organized week-by-week with lessons to house-train and teach your puppy basic commands, obedience, and more
• Updated edition includes content on housetraining, collar conditioning, and human-canine roles, as well as modernized terminology
• Author Charlotte Schwartz had trained dogs for over 40 years, was an award-winning author, and is known for being a trailblazer in positive dog training

Focusing on the first eight weeks that a puppy spends in the new owner's home, this puppy training guide walks the owner through the lessons to teach one week at a time, offering common sense solutions to obedience and housetraining problems along the way.

Sidebars throughout the text offer useful tips and alternative methods on how to train a puppy and teach lessons, all of which were originated by Schwartz in her puppy classes over the decades. From the first week — during which the puppy is taught to sit and stay — to the eighth week — devoted to teaching the puppy to retrieve and a trick or two — this puppy primer is the best canine educational tool available!

This updated positive guide to puppy training was written by much-loved author and puppy-class instructor Charlotte Schwartz. The late Charlotte Schwartz had trained dogs for over 40 years and was a popular, award-winning author whose no-nonsense style of writing and training comes forth on every page of this introductory guide and dog training book. New to this edition is updated and modernized content on housetraining, collar conditioning, human and canine roles, and terminology.

A positive training guide for puppies (and their owners!), this week-by-week training handbook is a must for every family that brings home a new puppy!
