New Puppy!: From New Puppy to Brilliant Family Dog
About this audiobook
Biting? No sleep? Puddles?
How to survive the early weeks and still love your puppy!
You’ve got the new puppy you longed for - BUT things don’t seem to be quite as rosy as you expected!
Your new pet is terrorising the children, ripping jumpers and trouser-legs, never wants to sleep and seems intent on keeping you up all night. On top of that, there’s pee everywhere.
What happened to the lovely picture you painted of children and puppy playing happily in your nice home, and being able to put him to bed when you’re ready? Don’t worry - we can turn this all round very quickly.
Having helped thousands of new puppy-owners to navigate these early weeks and keep their sanity, professional dog trainer Beverley Courtney will take you by the hand and not let go!
Follow the force-free and dog-friendly guidance in this book, and your puppy will soon be playing nicely with the children, sleeping like a log all night, and doing all his business outside. And nowhere will you be saying “NOOO” or “Ah-ah”.
Very soon you’ll all love him again!
And there’s lots more - diet, exercise, socialisation, and how to stop your puppy jumping up - on you, visitors, and the furniture. And if you haven't yet got your puppy - there’s a really useful guide on how to choose the dog that’s going to share your life for the next 12-15 years.
“Your advice and encouragement are invaluable! I felt so lost on Monday - it's only Wednesday and it's like a whole different world opened up! Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!” LM

About the author
Beverley Courtney has two strings to her bow! First, she is the author of the popular Brilliant Family Dog series of step-by-step, force-free dog training books.
And she is now emerging as a serious novelist, with her Literary Fiction novels "Keeping Tabs" and "Seeking Clarity", dealing with issues that so many women experience.
Beverley has lived with dogs all her life. She qualified her Battersea Dogs’ Home rescue Poppy as a Working Trials Champion - and has enjoyed herself hugely for many years helping new owners with their dogs and puppies through her books, classes, and online courses.
Using the latest scientific breakthroughs in dog behaviour, with a no-force / no-blame / no-shame approach, she is dedicated to improving communication between owner and dog. Once you jettison the idea that it’s a one-way process (“I said SIT”) and start understanding how your dog learns, training becomes a breeze.
Her fresh approach has helped hundreds of families discover the joy of choice-based training. The first four books address the four Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog (yes! there are just four!), featuring one of her students’ favourite skills - getting their frantic puppy to relax!
Beverley’s next three books address the tricky problem many dog-owners experience - of having a dog who barks and reacts to other dogs. Or people. Or bikes … Drawing on her own experience with her Growly Dog Lacy, together with extensive study, she brings the gentle and humorous approach that her readers love. There is no blame or shame here - just empathy, understanding, and masses of how-to’s to get you enjoying your walks with your dog again.
Get yourself a really useful dog, by mastering the retrieve with Fetch It!, so that after an enjoyable walk playing ball or frisbee, she can fetch your slippers and the tv remote for you!
And new puppy-owners, so often lost and at sea in this new world, can get things right from the start. New Puppy! will remove the frustration and guide you to build an unbreakable bond with your pup.
