• Hey, sorry for what I’m sure is an oft repeated question, but what’s current hive mind recommended pre-puppy reading? We have reserved a Border x Cocker that will be ready in September and need to get educated quick smart! Thanks in advance.

  • Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy (I hate the name) by Steve Mann is pretty good and recommended by my partner and her colleagues

  • Would also recommend Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy. I found it helpful reading before the four-legged arrives and that gap until you can get outside / take them to training classes. Also an easy read.

  • Make sure you and whoever else walks the pup are really consistent with the training. Using exactly the same commands and rewards every single time, regardless of who's doing the training. It made loads of difference when we got Crumpet, loads quicker.
