• The author is an experienced professional dog trainer who has fostered more than 200 puppies
• Her training approach is rooted in empathy, with a unique emphasis on the owner's mindset
• The book's guiding principle is this: to end up with the behavior you're looking for, start by understanding that your puppy is a transplant from a vastly different culture
• Throughout her encouraging how-to chapters, Callahan uses an easy-to-grasp Planet Dog / Planet Human concept to light the path to a less stressful, more rewarding journey from brand-new puppy to well-adjusted adult dog
