Respect Training for Puppies

30 seconds to a calm, polite, well-behaved puppy.... yes, 30 seconds!

Puppy training is about Teachable Moments – short moments throughout the day where your puppy tries out various behaviors and you give either a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down. This is a balanced  training method.

Respect Training for Puppies  shows you how to use those quick moments to teach your puppy calmness, gentleness, good manners, acceptance of being handled, housebreaking, come when called, greet people politely, stop barking, walk nicely on a leash, and more. For ages 2-18 months.
