Perfectly Imperfect Puppy

THE NEW BOOK FROM GRAEME HALL, THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING DOGFATHER I've been training puppies for years and I am yet to come across one who behaved perfectly at all times. With this book I really wanted to be realistic about the expectations we should have when training a puppy and demystify the process with clear, simple advice, based on science and experience.

If you can get it right (or right-ish), you are paving the way for a lifetime of reliably good behaviour. Happy training! Graeme Hall
