Story
Does your dog really love you? Or, like many owners, is your dog only your best friend when you are cuddling on the couch? When you step outside your front door, is he more interested in every passing dog, bird or half-eaten bag of chips that you come across? Does the mere thought of letting your dog off lead get your heart racing with panic? Well that's how I used to feel, until I discovered how to control - and train - my dog using play. Now I enjoy stress-free walks wherever I take him.

Generations of dogs have been labeled training lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Numerous other completely and utterly normal dogs have been branded as canine misfits simply because they grew up to act like dogs. Barking, chewing, sniffing, licking, jumping up, and occasionally (just like people) having arguments are as normal and natural for dogs as wagging tails and burying bones.

My breeders perspective on this brilliant book!
I’d be the first to admit as a Breeder of over 20 years I had massively underestimated the consideration that should be taken on the initial transition of a puppy leaving their littermates to start their own new adventure with their new family. This book makes you stop and seriously deliberate the best way to make the correct introduction of a new puppy into the home. As a result I’ve decided this book will be gifted to all of my future puppy owners, I really feel it helps to set the expectations you have from them as a reputable breeder and will ultimately only result in a better and easier experience of their new puppy into their home, forming lifelong good habits. I will certainly be recommending this book to my Breeder clients too, it’s fun and engaging and a pretty easy read to make a really important and often over looked point.

Puppy bible
This is the second book from Dom’s street smart series that I have read. There are so many puppy books out there, full of useless information might as well use them as toilet paper. Dom’s ‘Perfect puppy project’ is not like the other puppy books. It’s easy to read and funny. First time puppy owners will be able to read this book and then straight away follow the steps to a perfect puppy. I will be getting a puppy in a few week. This will be my bible. I will be following the routine suggested by Dom. Great tips for puppy biting which I know every puppy owner struggles with. There’s chapter on trick training which I will be implementing in my puppy visits. Can’t wait to give a copy to my puppy clients! Thanks Dom, Another cracker of a book!
