How to Bridge the Culture Gap, Go Beyond Training, and Raise Your Best Friend
An innovative, engaging puppy guide that teaches you how to get great results by working with — rather than against — your puppy’s innate tendencies
- The author is an experienced professional dog trainer who has fostered more than 200 puppies
- Her training approach is rooted in empathy, with a unique emphasis on the owner’s mindset
- The book’s guiding principle is this: to end up with the behavior you’re looking for, start by understanding that your puppy is a transplant from a vastly different culture
- Throughout her encouraging how-to chapters, Callahan uses an easy- to-grasp Planet Dog / Planet Human concept to light the path to a less stressful, more rewarding journey from brand-new puppy to well-adjusted
“I absolutely cannot wait for this book….There’s nothing like
it out there, and this fresh voice is just what today’s puppy owners need. Kathy Callahan’s everyday work with current owners shows on every page. She knows exactly what they’re going through
and exactly what they need to hear.”— NANCY KERNS, editor of Whole Dog Journal
A decade of working with people who’ve just added a puppy to the household has taught certified professional dog trainer Kathy Callahan (cpdt-ka) a funda- mental truth: at some point after the initial honeymoon, every single one of them feels overwhelmed. When they seek out expertise, they’re flooded with impossibly detailed advice, conflicting opinions, and a surprising number of techniques that seem unkind.
In contrast, Callahan reassures owners that success flows not from nailing an intimidating list of disciplinary details, but instead from shifting their approach from that of “master” to one of “cultural ambassador.” The key to great training is recognizing that we have essentially kidnapped these puppies from their own vastly different culture. Using that grounding Planet Dog principle, Callahan covers the puppy essentials and more, including:
- how to prepare your house (and yourself) for puppyhood
- the best ways to handle potty training, chewing, jumping, and other challenges
- why it might seem your puppy “just doesn’t listen”
- how to help puppies and young kids, other dogs, and/or cats live safely and happily together
With fun-to-read chapters in a wise, friendly tone, Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog paves the way for a rewarding friendship between a relaxed, well- prepared human and a canine family member who’s happily at ease in our world
