You just got home with your brand-new puppy: you walked in the door together, he peed a little on the floor, you mopped it up, and now you’re sitting looking at each other. What next? If you’ve had the foresight to buy a copy of Puppy Problems: The Dog’s Eye View, you’ll already have a plan. Not only is it an indispensable guide to the first year - and beyond - but it’s also the first book to look at situations from the puppy’s, as well as the human’s, point of view. Dog cognition studies are on the rise; science knows more than it ever has about the ways in which dogs think and feel. And if you are able to take a puppy-level view of your new pet’s life, it will help you to understand why he loves what he loves, what things might scare him - and how you can help him to overcome his fear - and why he does the things you’d prefer he didn’t do (so that you can come up with kind, constructive ways to get him to stop). In a sensible, easy-to-follow text that offers invaluable insights into the world as seen through your puppy’s eyes, you’ll find essential guidance on: eating, sleeping, playing, training, socialising (both with people and with other dogs), problem-solving, and building the best-ever relationship with your puppy. AUTHOR: Sophie Collins is a writer and editor who has authored 9 books on dogs and dog cognition, including the bestselling Tail Talk (2006; translated into 12 languages) and Tricks and Games for a Smarter Dog (2016), which won the Training Books Category in the 2017 Annual Awards of the Dog Writers Association of America. She lives in Lewes, Sussex, in the south of England.
