Resources - where to look for puppy guidance
There is a large amount of dog training advice available, an internet search can sometimes be overwhelming. It is hard to know where to begin. Below is a short list of my go to resources for clients.
You Tube
Kiko pup - great and easy to follow training videos
Train me please - great short videos with explanations for lots of commonly asked dog behaviour questions.
Books
The Power of Positive Dog Training by Pat Miller - This is one of the first books I read and remains a favourite recommendation for clients. The information is easy to follow, there is a week by week guide on what to teach your new puppy along with trouble shooting tips. Equally as valuable for training your adult dog.
