Best dog training book

This is our 5th dog - our 3rd Russian Bolonka. I've never listened to any books on training before we decided to get this little guy. Our last dog was trained by us 15 1/2 years ago - and we had two other dogs at the time - so I guess he sort of trained himself. We're much older now and having lost our last baby 8 weeks ago, we had some concerns about bringing a new dog into our lives. I can't live without one so I immediately started preparing for a new one. My husband thought that I was crazy.
I listened to the first few chapters several times before the arrival of our new baby.
He arrived Thursday morning at 1:30 am after days on the road from Missouri. I followed what the authors said about "when you receive your dog". It didn't matter that it was 1:30 in the morning. It is now just a few days - he loves his crate - and has had a handful (maybe even less than a handful) of pippi mistakes. He is only 2 pounds and his bladder is tiny. He sleeps 4-5 hours in his crate (going into it on his own). When he wakes up I take him out and he is then returned to his crate. He slept this morning until 9:40 AM!
I will continue with the following chapters when we are ready.
Perhaps it's the book, perhaps it's the puppy - perhaps it's a combination. I really found this book to be so helpful. I should have had this for my last puppy - 15-1/2 years ago - listening to this I understand the mistakes that I made especially about separation anxiety. I won't make those mistakes again.
I highly recommend this book to anyone getting a puppy - whether it's your first or fifth pup.
Thank you for making this so much easier for me.

Excellent resource

First time puppy owner!!!
So many great learning moments!! THANKYOU - will use continually and well into future dog years

Straight forward and engaging

We have been listening to a lot of dog training books. This one has taken the cake. Easy to understand and something we will definitely be listening to again before we pick up our puppy!

very simple yet effective training advice.

background stories about animals owned by narrator. makes the training advice more proven. thank you it was a great listen.

First-timers or Experienced Owners!

I really enjoyed listening to this as I prepare to adopt a puppy! Although I’ve had dogs in the past, have helped train them, and have taken them to training classes, I still learned quite a bit from this book. I would definitely recommend reading it before adopting!

A great first book

I listened to the book and learned so much about what and how to train a puppy when to start training and what not to do and why I am so glad I listened to this before I got my puppy. I plan on listening to it again.

Great listen

Very helpful and informative . Great read. The book was worth the listen. Thank you much

training for zoom room

Too obsessed with the zoom room oriented training. He makes some very good training points but he negates other approaches. Best if you live in an urban area and have money for a place like the zoom room.
