Unleashing the trainer in you

One of the key elements in Before & After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy & Well-Behaved Dog is embedded in its title. There is much to consider before bringing a new pet into a household, and this book helps you make an informed decision. Dr. Ian Dunbar guides you through the fast-paced puppy training process, providing developmental deadlines to mark your progress. Errorless Housetraining and Chewtoy-Training, for example, should begin the day your puppy comes home, and Bite Inhibition by 18 weeks.

Rover, Don't Roll Over: A Compassionate Training Guide for Dogs and Their People is written in a more whimsical, lighthearted vein. Jody Rosengarten, a dog trainer and behavior therapist, favors a gentle approach to training, but still offers a results-driven strategy. Rosengarten believes in the power of positive training and says it's possible to respect and honor the individuality of each dog while training it with compassion and joy.
