How to Cope with your Puppy
Quick Guides to Dog Training
Sarah has written these as a companion to 'Help! My Dog Has Issues' and 'How to Cope with your Puppy' to help you train your dog, and also to help you make a plan for improving their behaviour. They work best once you have a basic understanding of what upsets and motivates dogs, and how our behaviour can sometimes get in the way.
