The Puppy Playbook by Joanna Russell Book Review
This puppy training guide is designed to match the developmental milestones of your new pup. The approach of this book teaches you what you need to know, when you need to know it.
The Puppy Playbook keeps puppy training simple and manageable, so new pet owners do not get overwhelmed. It also provides an easy-to-follow schedule to help seasoned puppy owners stay on course.
As you can see in my vide review, this book breaks puppy training down into an 8 week schedule. Each week outlines the key tasks that should be accomplished and the learning outcomes that you should expect from your new pet.
I like the fact that this teaching guide doesn’t just tell you what to do, it explains why the tasks outlined are so important.
You can read the chapter’s information and use the checklists to keep track of how the training is going. If you feel that your puppy did not learn everything from that week’s training, you can repeat the week before moving on to new objectives.
There is some very beneficial information for first time pet owners, like how to prepare for your new puppy and what to expect in the first two months. The schedule will help you from feeling overwhelmed, and the tips and tricks will help answer the dozens of questions that you're sure to have.
This books shares tips on what to discuss with your veterinarian, how to break naughty puppy habits (like biting), and even offers places to take notes and jot down important information.
This book is not just informational. It offers a step-by-step puppy training guide with a full curriculum that features to-do lists, specific learning objectives, training sessions, helpful tips and even a day-to-day checklist for developing a healthy routine with your puppy.
You can purchase this book for $33.50 on The Puppy Playbook website or through Amazon. This one is a no-brainer. If you're a first time puppy owner or a seasoned dog owner who just adopted a new puppy, this book is a great value for the money.
