Pawsitive Puppy Pathway is a realistic and reassuring guide for anyone navigating the early stages of raising a puppy. Written by Renee Patience, a trainer and behaviourist with over 30 years of experience and founder of Paws Academy, this book brings together calm, practical advice that works in real life and not just in theory.
This book is part of the Pawsitive Series, a collection created to support dog owners with kind, evidence-based training that puts relationship and communication at the centre.
Rather than offering a quick fix or strict set of rules, Pawsitive Puppy Pathway walks you through each phase of early puppyhood with clarity and compassion. It helps you understand what is normal, what to focus on, and how to respond when things feel messy or unpredictable.
Inside, you will find support with:
• Toilet training that actually makes sense
• Settling routines and managing overtired behaviour
• Early lead walking skills without the overwhelm
• Calm socialisation that avoids overstimulation
• Redirection techniques for chewing, biting and jumping
• Building cues through connection, not control
• Managing arousal and play in a safe, age-appropriate way
• Handling setbacks without pressure
• Preparing for adolescence and the next stage of training
Every chapter is written with the understanding that no two puppies or households are the same. Whether you are raising your first dog or starting again with a new pup, this book will meet you where you are.
With a focus on positive reinforcement, emotional safety and steady, realistic progress, Pawsitive Puppy Pathway helps you raise a confident and well-adjusted dog by building the skills and understanding that make a real difference.
