A positive training guide to puppy training written by much-loved author and puppy-class instructor Charlotte Schwartz is a "week by week training guide" for all new puppy owners. The late Charlotte Schwartz had trained dogs for over 40 years and was a popular, award-winning author, whose no-nonsense style of writing and training comes forth on every page of this best-selling introductory guide and dog training book. Focusing on the first eight weeks that a puppy spends in the new owner's home, Puppy Training, Revised Edition walks the owner through the lessons to teach one week at a time, offering common sense solutions to obedience and housetraining problems along the way. Sidebars throughout the text offer useful tips and alternative methods on how to train a puppy and teach lessons, all of which were originatedby Schwartz in her puppy classes over the decades. From the first week -- during which the puppy is taught to sit and stay -- to the eighth week -- devoted to teach the puppy to retrieve and a trick or two -- this puppy primer is the best canine educational tool available! New to this edition is updated and modernized content on housetraining, collar conditioning, human and canine roles, and terminology.
