Getting a puppy is an exciting thing...a grinningly exciting, running around with your t-shirt over your face exciting thing...it’s also absolutely terrifying.

Bringing home a new bundle of fluff brings with it responsibility, is overwhelming and expensive.

It’s a life-changing event...but it is fabulous.

It really doesn’t matter how many puppies we’ve raised, we forget what it’s like to have a puppy in the house; we forget that we have to go back to feeding four meals a day, to get up at four am to toilet the puppy and we forget what terrible timewasters puppies are, as we simply cannot stop watching them.

In her latest book, Manners Not Mayhem, Lez Graham shares her wisdom, experience, and common-sense to help ease you into puppy ownership, sharing her secrets of how to raise, train and live with your puppy, guiding you through the minefield of toilet training, crate training, socialisation, and introducing new concepts such as The Four Pillars of Puppy Training.

Helping you create Manners in a time of potential Mayhem, this international award-winning book is one that you cannot afford to be without, as it not only guides you through puppyhood, it helps ease you into the jaw-clenching, joyous phase of adolescence.
