It's a very well-written book with lots of pictures and really easy to understand and apply the tips/advices!!”

We found the simple step by step guide on behaviour and training trends really helpful, especially with the pictures to show you how to do things. Bruce has a fabulous writing method, very down to earth which puts things into perspective in a day to day lifestyle. Would highly recommend this to any new puppy owner.” “Ideal for reading cover to cover but easily dip in and out of when guidance needed on specific topics.
