Why did I create the Puppy Playbook?

Bringing a puppy home is exciting… and can be overwhelming.

From toilet training and puppy biting to sleep schedules, socialisation, and training advice, raising a puppy can quickly feel like information overload.

You might be wondering:

Am I socialising my puppy properly?

How much exercise does a puppy need?

What should I do if my puppy bites?

How do I raise a calm dog instead of an overexcited one?

Am I accidentally teaching bad habits?

The Puppy Playbook helps simplify puppy raising with practical, realistic guidance you can actually apply in everyday life.

No harsh methods. No pressure to be perfect. Just clear support to help you build strong foundations from the very beginning.

  • How to deal with common issues like puppy biting, chewing, stealing and toilet training and preventing problems before they start

Positive reinforcement puppy training – why it’s important for your pup

You may have heard about positive reinforcement puppy training, or force free dog training.

Modern puppy training is about more than obedience. It’s about helping puppies feel safe, confident, and able to make good choices without fear or intimidation.

The Puppy Playbook is built around force-free, reward-based training methods that support your puppy’s emotional wellbeing as well as their learning.

Using positive reinforcement helps build:

  • Trust and connection
  • Confidence in new situations
  • Calm behaviour
  • Long-term emotional resilience
  • A stronger bond between you and your puppy

As a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, I focus on helping dogs and guardians create lifelong partnerships based on understanding rather than punishment.

I’ve seen what can happen when a puppy’s developmental and emotional needs weren’t centred in their early lives. I want to help you avoid future issues so you can focus on a great life together with your puppy.

Created by a Clinical Animal Behaviourist

I have written this Puppy Playbook as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist having a focus on emotional and behavioural health. 

I specialise in working with dogs who suffer with a range of stress related behaviour problems and support them and their owners in their journey.

Therefore I have a unique insight into how different upbringings and experiences during development can impact long term behaviour.

By getting things right from the start, you can save a lot of challenges later. That is where the Puppy Playbook comes in – to set you and your puppy up for the best success.

Puppy Playbook FAQs

Is this guide suitable for first time puppy owners?

Yes! The Puppy Playbook keeps things easy to understand so that whether this is your first ever puppy, or you are an old hat at it but have remembered how hard it can be and want some back up – this is going to help you.

What age puppy is this for?

It is designed for young puppies – the earlier you have the information the better. But even if you have an older puppy or adolescent, or even a new rescue dog, these principles are going to be helpful.

Absolutely. The priority is your puppy feeling calm and confident. By building trust your puppy will naturally want to train with you more.
