Aimed at youth and the young at heart, this 180-page book offers an easy to follow, comprehensive training system for new puppy owners. Direct thought expression, light dry humor, and hundreds of colorful photos, charts, and comic sketches of the main characters - Libby and Fido - keep the reader engaged and entertained. Libby Rockaway trained more than 40 puppies during her high school tenure and discovered that puppies learn amazing amounts of material from the minute they get home - for both good and bad! Based on this experience, plus years of instructing children while leading 4-H Dog Club and her Kids and Canines summer workshops, Libby developed this easy to follow training system to help new owners understand their pup and create a well mannered canine family member in just a few weeks. The effectiveness of her methods can be viewed on YouTube Puppy Steps Channel. In addition, Libby has successfully trained two diabetic alert dogs, competed in AKC obedience and agility competitions, and currently works at the PennVet Working Dog Center while attending University of Pennsylvania.
