Description
You just brought home a puppy. Now what?
Raise the Woof is the only puppy guide you need -- whether you are a first-time dog owner or starting fresh with a new breed. Written by Caroline DeHaan, a professional dog trainer with twenty-five years of hands-on experience, this book replaces outdated dominance myths with the modern, science-backed positive reinforcement methods trusted by veterinary behaviorists worldwide.
Inside, you will find everything you need to raise a confident, well-behaved, and healthy puppy from day one through the challenging adolescent stage and beyond.
What you will learn:
- How to choose the right breed or mix for your lifestyle, energy level, and living situation
- A clear, week-by-week roadmap for your puppy's first months at home
- Step-by-step instructions for essential commands: sit, stay, come, down, leave it, drop it, heel, and place
- Modern house training and crate training methods that actually work -- without punishment
- The critical socialization window and how to use it safely, even before full vaccination
- How to read your dog's body language and build real communication
- Nutrition guidance including how to read pet food labels and understand AAFCO standards
- Solutions for the most common puppy problems: biting, jumping, barking, chewing, separation anxiety, and resource guarding
- Enrichment strategies that keep your puppy mentally sharp, calm, and happy
- Vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, veterinary care, and when to get pet insurance
What makes this book different:
Raise the Woof is not a collection of tips. It is a complete system -- grounded in behavioral science, written in plain language, and brought to life with real stories from twenty-five years of professional training. Caroline's warm, honest voice makes even the hardest topics feel manageable, and her step-by-step approach means you will never feel lost.
No dominance theory. No punishment. No shame. Just clear, effective, science-based guidance from a trainer who has seen it all.
If you want a puppy who trusts you, listens to you, and genuinely enjoys learning -- this is your book.
