Many unwanted behaviours can develop as a result of inadequate socialisation as a puppy; or simply because of a lack of understanding of how to communicate with your new best friend, in a relaxed and stress free manner.

There are 2 booklets written by Lyn and Helen in their own relaxed, friendly and humorous style to help you through the early years of your dogs development. Although the sensible and knowledgeable advice should be adhered to by every pet dog owner.

This 56 page booklet contains concise must have information on raising a puppy in your home with the least amount of anxiety and confrontation. The booklet is written in Lyn and Helens relaxed and humorous style making it a pleasure to read. 

Both Lyn and Helen have a particular interest in and understanding of puppy development.

Many behaviour problems that arise later on in a dog's life could have been prevented by a careful, structured puppy hood upbringing (why not look at attending one of our puppy classes). The information contained in this booklet comes from years of experience living with their own dogs, and helping clients cope with that happy but fraught time that is their dog's childhood.

They hope that, by reading this booklet and putting their advice into practice, they can help you give your puppy the best possible start in life.

In this 86 page booklet Lyn and Helen take you through the tricky stage of adolescence with your dogs development. This adolescence stage can be troublesome for some dog owners and in this publication Lyn and Helen try to offer you sensible advice as to how to help your dog through this stage in its personal development.

It should be pointed out that although this booklet is full of sensible and practical advice it should not be viewed as an alternative to professional behavioural advice for deeper seated problems already rooted in your dog.
