Puppy Start Right Book Testimonials:
It has been only 2 weeks since I received my shipment of Debbie Martin and Dr. Martin's new book: Puppy Start Right: Foundation Training for the Companion Dog.
I have since seen four new puppy teams, and each family purchased the new book immediately upon my sharing it's many benefits and supportive guidance. What I truly appreciate is that they can reference a chapter and page number to supplement my own handouts when they call or email me with excellent questions! Questions about socialization? Go to Chp 4, pp. 33. Questions about play biting and mouthing? Go to Chp 5, pp. 62. And so on..... It's like my own footnotes!
Many thanks and kudos to Debbie and Dr. Martin. It must have taken so much time, investment (both physically, mentally and financially) and just hard work to have this published.
Now we get to reap the benefits as do our new dog teams.
Great stuff!

Hi Debbie, Just wanted to drop you a line on your training manual, Puppy Start Right. I have been doing positive reinforcement training for the last five years and have read many books on the subject. I have been looking for a book that could be used in my training classes without reinventing the wheel to do it. I attended Clicker Expo 2010 Lexington KY, wow what a fantastic conference, 2nd one I have attended there is just so much information. While browsing through the book store I happened upon your manual glanced through it and said this looks very interesting. So I could not wait till I got home to see what was in store. I have picked it up every day to read and much to my surprise it is exactly what I have been looking for. It has been put together with lots of thought to the new puppy owner in great detail but in laymen’s terms with all the necessary information so a client can grasp the theory and clicker methods. Anyone looking for a fantastic training manual this is it, check it out and I am sure you will be as excited about itas I am.
Congratulations to Debbie Martin & Kenneth M. Martin DVM for a training manual both trainer and trainee can understand.
