About this listen

This book tells the story of two lives and how they randomly, magically intersected. It’s the chronicle of the Wylie One of Highbridge and her human, Dale, and their escapades and antics. But this book is more than that! It’s also a remarkable training book for you and your pup—everything from your first night home with your new puppy to socialization, housetraining, puppy biting, leash manners, and much more. It’s all covered right here.

From big city corporate to the north woods countryside, follow Dale’s path from hurt to healing and finding a lost connection with dogs as one dog in particular changes the course of her life forever. Finding herself newly married and living in a new country in unfamiliar surroundings, loneliness swiftly crept its way into her life, overshadowing everything and bringing up long-buried memories of a brutal past. This book weaves grief and growth together along with detailed advice on all things puppy. Every tale Dale tells about herself and her dog Wylie is followed by detailed guidance and instruction on how to handle those particular dog and puppy issues.

Don’t miss this one! You will laugh. You will cry. You will learn.

I wish I’d have listened to this before bringing my new puppy into my life. It is full of wonderful advice using positive reinforcement methods for puppy training. I also found myself crying by the end, having experienced the loss of my dog only a year before listening to this. Hearing the story of raising a puppy through adulthood was extremely useful, helpful in not feeling alone with the struggles raising a puppy comes with.

What a wonderful story, with some great training advice added. Warning, if you have ever lived and lost a dog, you may find yourself crying.

Highly recommend
