Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy Book

Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy — a brilliant, easy-to-follow puppy training book that every new puppy owner should have. Written by Steve Mann, a highly respected force-free trainer with over 30 years’ experience, this book covers everything you need to raise a confident, well-mannered, happy puppy using modern, ethical, science-based methods.

Why This Book Is Essential for Puppy Owners

Whether you’re bringing home a brand-new puppy, adopting an adult dog, or supporting a rescue, this book breaks down training into clear, achievable steps. Steve Mann covers all the foundations — super-fast recalls, loose lead walking, manners, crate training, socialisation and more — all explained in a friendly, easy-to-understand way.

It’s one of my top recommendations for new owners because it reflects the same force-free, reward-based approaches I use with clients. It gives you everything you need to build a brilliant relationship with your dog from day one.
