Patience and consistency build stronger bonds

As someone living with dogs, I realized that it’s easy to get frustrated when things don’t go perfectly, but the book reminded me that progress is built in small, repeated steps. I appreciated how it reframes training as a team effort, where calm guidance, praise, and understanding matter more than strict rules or punishment. By the end, I felt more confident in my ability to create a structured, loving environment for my dog and for future pup ('coz my son wants another pup), while also enjoying the playful, joyful moments that make raising a puppy so rewarding.

Helpful, practical, and reassuring

I picked this up during the puppy chaos phase, and it honestly made things feel much more manageable. The step by step approach is easy to follow, even on days when you are tired and frustrated. I liked how it explains not just what to do, but why it works, which made me more confident sticking with the training. The focus on positive reinforcement felt realistic and kind, not rigid or overwhelming. A few tips helped reduce accidents and stress almost right away.
