Help! My Puppy is a Bit of a Knob Book Mockup

LADbibleLiverpool ECHODaily MailThe Mirror

Is your cute puppy actually a tiny terrorist?

You dreamed of long walks and cuddles. Instead, you got shark teeth, sleepless nights, and pee on your favorite rug.

🦈

The Biting

Your hands look like you've been fighting a cheese grater. 'No' just makes them bite harder.

💥

The Destruction

Furniture, shoes, drywall. Nothing is safe. You can't take your eyes off them for a second.

😰

The Anxiety

You're worried you're ruining them. You're tired, frustrated, and wondering if you made a mistake.

It's not your fault.
But it is your responsibility.

Most puppy advice is garbage. It's either "ignore the bad behavior" (yeah, right) or "dominate your dog" (please don't).

You need a middle ground. A balanced approach that teaches your puppy how to live in YOUR world.

Introducing "Help! My Puppy is a Bit of a Knob". The no-nonsense, blunt, and slightly hilarious guide to surviving the first year without losing your mind.

Spaniel Mum

"I bought 3 other 'bestsellers' before this. They all said 'ignore the bad behavior'. Yeah, try ignoring a spaniel chewing your skirting boards. This book was the only one that actually told me what to DO. No fluff, just 'stop doing this, start doing that'. Saved my sanity."

Frenchie Owner

"Most dog books read like a biology textbook. Boring. This one reads like a mate talking to you at the pub. It's funny, blunt, and actually makes sense. I stopped trying to be a 'pack leader' and started just teaching my dog to chill. Huge difference."

Golden Retriever Gran

"I was worried I was too old to train a new puppy. The other books made it sound like a full-time job with complex schedules. This book simplified everything. 'Life Skills' over 'Obedience' is a game changer. We're both much happier now."

Terrier Dad

"I thought my terrier was broken. He wouldn't listen to a word I said. Turns out, I was just boring him to death with 'sit' and 'stay'. This book showed me how to actually engage his brain. Now he's tired, happy, and (mostly) well-behaved."

Cockapoo Owner

"Every other trainer told me to use treats for everything. My dog just got fat and ignored me when I didn't have food. This book teaches you how to be more interesting than a piece of cheese. Finally got my recall working!"

Who Are We?

We are Yorkshire Canine Academy. We don't just train dogs; we rehabilitate the ones other trainers gave up on.

We've seen thousands of dogs. We know exactly why they fail. It's rarely the dog's fault. It's almost always a lack of clear communication, boundaries, and understanding of genetics.

We wrote this book because we're tired of seeing puppies end up in shelters at 8 months old because "positive only" didn't work and "old school" was too harsh. There is a better way.
