Written for the first weeks and months after a puppy comes home, this guide begins with preparing the house and the family. It walks through housebreaking, crate training, the basic commands every puppy should learn and the socialization that shapes a calm adult dog. Positive reinforcement runs through every chapter, with sections on rewards, training tools and accessories, and keeping sessions consistent. Later pages deal with common puppy problems, health during training, more advanced exercises and when to ask a trainer for help.
