Learn how to quickly settle your new dog into your life and home with my 5 part program, The Calm Puppy.

Raising a calm and well-behaved puppy is possible when you know how

You’ve probably spent hours researching what type of puppy to adopt, you’ve waited months for them to arrive and now your work truly begins. But don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be hard.

Your adorable bundle of fluff may be acting like a bit of a maniac at times.

They may be: 

• Refusing to sleep in 

• Jumping up on you

• Destroying all your favourite things

• Insisting on chewing your hands, feet, and clothes

• Peeing and pooping all over your house

Wouldn’t it be great to get things under control as soon as possible, rather than hoping your puppy will just grow out of it?

Have you ever wondered why some dogs are calmer than others? 

When you brought y our adorable bundle of fur home, you may have assumed they’d just fit right in and know how to behave in your home, but that’s rarely the case.

The key is learning how to teach your dog in a way they can easily understand. A way that rewards them for getting things right and prevents them from getting things wrong.

If you don’t do this, things will get worse and you’ll start regretting your decision to get a dog in the first place because they’ll be:

• Highly strung

• Destroying your things

• Zooming around the house all evening, jumping up and biting you with their needle-like teeth ( only stopping to pee on your carpet)...

Having a calm puppy means you’ll get to spend more time enjoying your puppy than being frustrated by them. You’ll be proud of how well-behaved they are.

They’ll:

• Come back when called

• Walk nicely beside you

• Be toilet trained

• Keep their teeth off your skin and clothes

• Greet new friends of the dog and human variety with confidence and joy

You’ll be able to take your puppy to the cafe or to watch your kid’s sports games and they’ll behave themselves.

You’ll be able to leave your puppy at home and they won’t panic and destroy something.

You’ll raise a dog who is a joy to be around.
