An innovative, engaging puppy guide that teaches you how to get great results by working with -- rather than against -- your puppy's innate tendencies

A decade of working with people who've just added a puppy to the household has taught certified professional dog trainer Kathy Callahan (CPDT-KA) a fundamental truth: at some point after the initial honeymoon, every single one of them feels overwhelmed. When they seek out expertise, they're flooded with impossibly detailed advice, conflicting opinions, and a surprising number of techniques that seem unkind.

In contrast, Callahan reassures owners that success flows not from nailing an intimidating list of disciplinary details, but instead from shifting their approach from that of "master" to one of "cultural ambassador." The key to great training is recognizing that we have essentially kidnapped these puppies from their own vastly different culture. Using that grounding Planet Dog principle, Callahan covers the puppy essentials and more, including:

- how to prepare your house (and yourself) for puppyhood
- the best ways to handle potty training, chewing, jumping, and other challenges
- how to train with fun, not fear
- why it might seem your puppy "just doesn't listen"
- what to do if there's household disagreement on things like whether dogs belong on furniture
- how to help puppies and young kids, other dogs, and/or cats live safely and happily together

With fun-to-read chapters in a wise, tell-it-like-it-is tone, Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog paves the way for a rewarding friendship between a relaxed, well-prepared human and a canine family member who's happily at ease in our world.

About the Author
Kathy Callahan (cpdt-ka, fdm) is an experienced certified professional dog trainer. Her family has fostered more than 200 at-risk puppies, and her first book with New World Library, 101 Rescue Puppies, features those heartwarming stories. Callahan writes monthly on training and behavior for Whole Dog Journal, cohosts the training podcast Pick of the Litter, and occasionally writes on dogs for her local newspaper, the Zebra. With an early background in PR and publishing, she later pursued her love for dogs, first delving into therapy teamwork with her own dogs in schools and then finding her sweet spot fostering pregnant rescue dogs. Eventually she founded PupStart, a puppyhood coaching, socialization, and training business. She resides in Alexandria, Virginia, with her husband, three amazing foster-fail dogs, a fantastic foster-fail cat, and a revolving roster of foster dogs. Their two grown daughters delight them by being back at home quite often, possibly due to the lure of fur.
