'Britain's top dog whisperer... a canine-human Esther Perel' The Observer
Bringing a new puppy home is a joyous experience, but it can also be quite daunting. Should you really let a puppy 'cry it out' alone on the first night? How do you introduce it to other family members and pets? When should you start training? What equipment do you really need for that first week? And will you ever be able to work from home again uninterrupted?!
Louise Glazebrook, dog behaviourist and author of bestseller The Book Your Dog Wishes You Would Read, is asked all these questions and more every day. In this new, informative and compassionate guide for dog owners, Louise shows how working with your puppy at their pace, understanding their needs, will build a beautiful bond for life.
Everything Your Puppy Wants You To Know shares all of Louise's advice on how to settle a puppy in at home, work through developmental stages and make training fun - all to raise a confident, happy dog.
I don’t currently have a dog (we lost our 14 year old dog last year) at the moment, but I work in an animal care job which is public facing.
I think this book should be bought for people considering getting a puppy and would also make a great gift for a new puppy owner. I will be recommending it to any customers with puppies. Especially good for humans new to dogs however I think this book is helpful to even some experienced owners.
I found this book irritating because she states her own personal opinion over and over with no evidence to back it up. It felt like when some under-qualified bossy-boots comes over to you in the park and tells you you’re doing everything wrong and that following the (qualified) vet’s advice is foolish. DNF and returned to the library for a more evidence-based book.
