Puppies are already very good at being dogs. Where things tend to go wrong is in how we read what they’re doing, and this book is about getting better at that.

How (Not) to Train the Perfect Pup is an evidence-based guide to the puppy months and the teenage stretch that follows. It works through the myths that make raising a puppy harder than it needs to be, from dominance theory to the human motives we pin on dogs who are simply being dogs.

Drawing on behavioural science, breed-specific understanding and positive reinforcement, it explains why an eager puppy can seem to forget everything around six months, why corrections damage trust, and how much of a dog’s behaviour comes down to genetics.
