The Whole Family Puppy Training Book: Positive Reinforcement Training to Raise a Calm, Well-Behaved Puppy the Whole Family Can Enjoy - in Just 10 Minu (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188268619)

Your puppy isn't being trained by a person. She's being trained by a committee.

Every puppy book is written as if one calm adult will do the training. But your house has kids who help too much, a partner who's softer than you are, grandparents who think rules are cruel, and a schedule where everyone leaves at 8 a.m. at once. When a family doesn't agree, the puppy learns one thing: the rules are optional.

This book fixes that - with a framework the whole family can actually run, in just 10 minutes a day.

Inside you'll find:

• The C.A.L.M. Framework - Consistency, Attention, Leadership, Motivation: the four principles behind every calm, confident, happy dog
• The Daily 10 - ten minutes a day, split into short blocks even a six-year-old can run
• The Family Training Agreement - one word, one hand signal, every person (posted on the fridge, signed by everyone)
• Safety Drills - the emergency STOP, the interrupted recall, and the threshold protocol that can save your dog's life
• The Testing Months - surviving adolescence, the stage that makes good families give up (nobody warns you; this book does)
• The 4-Step Fix - Manage, Ask Why, Replace, Pay & Proof: solve any problem this book never even mentions
• Real stories from raising two Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers - Crosby and Ember - in a real family home

Plus 5 printable bonuses: the Family Training Agreement, the Potty Rota & Log, the Puppy-Proofing Checklist for a family home, Jobs for the Kids (age by age), and the Family Puppy Gear List.

Whether you have toddlers or teenagers, a first puppy or a multi-pet household, this is the plan that gets every person in your house speaking to your dog in the same voice - so your puppy grows into a calm, confident, happy member of the family.

No fear, no punishment, no "alpha" nonsense. Positive reinforcement only.
