The book
Happy Tails: The Dog-Raising & Training Handbook
Your first 30 days with a new puppy or rescue dog, in order. Then the rest of your dog's life: choosing the right breed, body language, training with rewards, feeding, health, grooming, travel and the senior years.
Full colour · Kindle, paperback and hardcover
Coming to Amazon this week.
Chapter 02: your first 30 days, in order
- Days 1–3: why doing less is the plan
- Days 4–10: the one routine to build
- Days 11–17: why it gets worse, and what's normal
- Day 18 on: the first real lesson, then leash work
Each stage says what to do, what to skip, what's normal, and which chapter goes deeper. A 30-day tracker closes the chapter.
This book is general guidance. Your veterinarian knows your dog.
