Bring a puppy home and the first thing you hear is a lot of barking and not necessarily from the dog.  The new puppy parent starts to bark orders, come, sit, stay, and the ever popular – NO!  We sound like drill sergeants.  This is the way that it has always been done, but is this the best way to get through to a very impressible youngster?  How do we get a pup to learn its role in our pack and have good social manners?  My guest is Sarah Wilson.  She is co-author with Brian Kilcommons of the book ‘My Smart Puppy – the fun, effective and easy puppy training’.
