Respect Training for Puppies
Thirty Seconds to a Polite, Calm, Well-Behaved Puppy.
30 seconds?
Yes, 30 seconds. Bear with me for a moment, and I'll explain. :)
Some people think that obedience training is the key to making a puppy well-behaved. They hope that by taking their puppy to a one-hour obedience class every week.... and maybe spending another hour each night practicing the commands, their puppy will be well-behaved.
But the truth is that very little obedience training needs to be done with a puppy to get him to be well-behaved.
That's right. Very little obedience training.
Keep in mind that I've instructed obedience classes for over 35 years, so I certainly wouldn't say that unless it was true.
The truth is that what a puppy needs most is to be RAISED the right way. Raising a puppy the right way includes some obedience training, yes. But teaching obedience commands like "Sit" or "Stay" only influences about 20% of the way your puppy ends up behaving.
On the other hand, how you live with the puppy around the house every single day influences 80% or more of his behavior.
And that's where the 30 seconds to a calm, polite, well-behaved puppy comes in!
Respect Training for Puppies: 30 Seconds to a Calm, Polite, Well-Behaved Puppy is a BALANCED training method that includes positive reinforcement for good behavior, plus corrections for unwanted behavior.
I will show you which behaviors you should expect your puppy to do – and how to teach those behaviors and make sure that he does them.... every time.
I'll show you which behaviors you should stop your puppy from doing – and how to stop him.
Everything your puppy needs to know to be a top-notch canine citizen is included!

I'd guess the training in here would be effective if one could focus a full 24 hours a day on their puppy for the first 4 months of its life, but that's not super realistic. I've been working from home and feel like I have a lot of time with the pup, but even still I find some of the methods here a little unreasonable. She also has a way of making it seem like you have only one shot to do it right and if you miss the first chance, your dog will be terrible and you will be a failure.
Also, chapter 34 of the book is about potty training the dog. The subtitle of the chapter is "Read this First!" If you want something read first, why on earth is it chapter 34? Who edited this?
