WARNING: Please Do NOT buy, adopt, or rescue a new puppy
until you read this vital message!


You’re about to make a decision that will affect every aspect of your daily life for the next 10 to 15 years. How confident are you that you’ll really make the right choice when it counts?



An Important Message You MUST Read from Krista Cantrell, Dog Trainer, Dog Whisperer, Dog-Book Author, and Cognitive Animal Behaviorist


Dear Prospective Puppy Owner,

First of all, congratulations!

Buying, adopting, or rescuing a puppy is a fun, exciting and remarkable time!

You’re about to bring into your life a true source of joy and love the likes of which you probably can’t imagine.

If...

If you make the right choice.

Because I’ll be honest with you, I’ve seen both sides of the story.

I’ve seen the new dog owner who knows, just knows, deep in her heart that she just brought home her new best friend.

But I’ve also seen the other side of the coin. I’ve seen the new puppy owner who’s overwhelmed. Who’s frustrated. Who’s in tears, literally heartbroken, after realizing that the choice they made was WRONG.

And who now must face the heart-wrenching decision of whether to live with a dog they can’t get along with, who drives them crazy for the next 10 years, or surrender the dog back to a breeder, to a shelter, or to an even worse fate.

Unfortunately the second scenario is something that’s all too common.


But you know what? There’s no reason for you to worry about getting the right puppy for you, because...


When you think about it, buying or adopting a dog is unlike any other major life-changing decision you can make.

Because the great thing about this entire process is that as long as you’re armed with the right information and know-how, you can virtually guarantee you’ll make the right choice.

It’s NOT like that with some of the other decisions in our lives, is it?

Think about it.

Sure, we choose our spouse. But that process usually takes AT LEAST a year or more of dating before you know you found “the one.” And I don’t think you want to spend a year evaluating a puppy before deciding if you want to bring him home for good. (Not that you even could.)

We don’t get to choose our kids. We can’t evaluate their personality as newborns and “send them back” if we don’t like what we see.

But when you’re choosing a puppy to bring into your life, all of the power is in your hands.

That’s awesome!

Problem is, most people simply don’t know enough about how to evaluate a puppy to make a good decision.

So they wind up making bad ones.

They get a dog that doesn’t fit with their lifestyle, or their personality, or their wants and desires, and just days after getting their new puppy home, they have that sinking feeling in the pit of their stomach, and they start asking...


“Oh no. What did I do?”

 
Trust me, it’s easier than you think to get overwhelmed and lose your way once the “cuteness factor” kicks in.

 And way too many people have come to deeply regret the decisions they’ve made. If you browse through any of the dog forums online, you’ll see what I mean.

Here are just a few comments I found from new puppy owners downright heartbroken because they realized too late that the puppy they picked out isn’t the right dog for them...
how to choose the perfect puppy

But don't worry...you're NOT going to wind up this way...and here's why...


As a dog lover, award-winning dog trainer, and a dog whisperer, it breaks my heart to read stories like this.

And what’s REALLY sad is that these situations are SO common.

Shelters and rescue organizations are literally overwhelmed trying to save the millions of puppies and dogs who are abandoned by their owners every single year.

In the vast majority of these cases, the dogs were abandoned simply because the owners made a BAD decision when they brought the dog into their life.

And believe me, I know, it’s often a terribly heartbreaking decision these owners have to make to admit that this dog just isn’t for them.

If you’ve never been in the position of having to condemn a dog to a shelter or rescue group, just knowing (but not wanting to admit to yourself) what that dog’s ultimate fate is likely to be, you can count yourself lucky.

It’s NOT a position you ever want to be in. Trust me.

Now let me just pause for a second and say that I’m NOT trying to discourage you from getting a puppy.

Quite the opposite in fact.

Because I know bringing a new puppy into your life can one of the most joyous and fulfilling decisions you will EVER make.

Heck, I’ve brought more new puppies into my home in the last couple of years than most people will in a lifetime!

It’s just what I do.

And I know that you can experience that same joy.

As long as you do it the right way.


And because I don’t want to see you or your dog wind up like the sad stories you read above, what I need to do is to make sure you understand why these mistakes happen, so you can avoid them and not wind up like these grief-stricken and panicky owners.


You see, there are two main things you need to keep in mind when choosing your new puppy...


First, there are things you can do BEFORE you make your decision that virtually guarantee you’ll choose the exact puppy that’s going to be right for you.

But it doesn’t stop there.

And it’s this second step that almost no one ever talks about, but that’s just as important -- if not more so -- than the first.

And that is...

pay close attention to thisYou need a system for teaching your new puppy the rules of your house IMMEDIATELY.

If you wait, you’ve doomed your new relationship with your puppy before it ever gets started.

Most if not ALL of the situations you read about above could have been avoided if only these new dog owners had followed the fool-proof strategies you’re going to discover right now.

Because what we want to do is to put so many positive things in our favor that we dramatically reduce or even eliminate the possibility of making a poor decision, and virtually guarantee that we’re going to wind up with “the perfect puppy” who’s going to grow up to be Your Best Dog Ever!


How Do I Know All This? And Why Should You Be Listening to Me in the First Place?


Excellent question, and one that I wish more people would ask when seeking out advice.

So many people get input from all kinds of sources when making a big decision like getting a new puppy.

And that's great.

But the problem is that they get the advice from the WRONG SOURCES. It's kind of like asking your perpetually broke brother-in-law for advice on how to handle your money.

It just doesn't work.

So here's MY story, and then you can decide if you think what you're discovering here applies to you...

First of all, I mentioned above that I'm a cognitive animal behaviorist (yes, I have a degree in this and everything official), but I'm also a dog trainer and dog whisperer with 17 years of experience, I've written three nationally published dog training books, and I've appeared in the national news all across the U.S. (places like CNN, The Washington Post, NBC, Fox, etc.).
Dog trainer Krista Cantrell with her pack of six dogs
But let's throw all that out for a minute and get down to the brass tacks. I mean I'm proud of those accomplishments, but what's even more important to you right now is this...

I started learning about puppies when I was just a kid and lived with Yorkshire terriers, Scottish terriers, and an occasional mixed breed dog.

At one point as an adult/dog trainer I added four puppies in five years. Yikes! Remind me not to do that again ;)

I learned more about raising puppies because I did it over and over again. I lived with my choices. And found out what works and what doesn’t work.

The big secret.  What makes all the difference... what makes living with a puppy and puppy training easy and quick and fun is picking out the right puppy.

You see there are two kinds of people – those who have brought the perfect puppy into their life and those who haven’t.

It really is that simple.

Most dog owners murder their chances of success before they even begin.

How can I say this?

Because I’ve brought home a puppy that didn’t match my needs or my lifestyle ...and teaching puppy potty training, crate training, and getting a puppy to stop jumping, digging, chewing running away, or pulling on a leash wasn’t easy for me either in the beginning.

I remember... the first dog I bought when I was on my own. I had fallen in love with my sister’s golden retriever and I wanted a golden too.

I thought all golden retrievers were alike. (My first mistake. Thinking all dogs act the same.)

A friend said I should take the most active puppy from the litter and I listened to him. (My second mistake. Listening to my friend who knew nothing about dogs. There’s much more to choosing a good puppy than activity level.)

During the car ride home the new puppy, Amanda, slept quietly.

And I swear, that was the last time she slept!

She raced through the house all the time... stole a loaf of bread or stick of butter from the counters in my kitchen...

... ignored my yelling “Come!!!” (She looked at me and took off running the other way.)

And ate the carpet (not a floor rug, but the carpet!)

oopsI knew I was in trouble when I came home one day and she had chewed a hole in the plaster wall. (It’s the truth. My Dad had to come over that weekend and teach me how to plaster and fill a hole in the wall.)

I loved my dog, but she was driving me crazy!

But I refused to give up. It took me three long, wild, crazy years to discover the one little thing about Amanda and all dogs that would change my life forever.

And Amanda was not the only puppy I brought into my life.

I was a magnet for puppies that needed help.

yikesTrevor was given up by his family because he chewed anything wood (table legs, end tables, chairs...) and stole food from the counter,

uh-ohRed was hyperactive and wasn’t potty trained when his family left him at the shelter,

Pip was abused by men, women, and children and was timid, barky, and submissively peed as soon as someone looked at her,

imagine thatLogan pulled so hard on the leash, I needed a horse lead just to hold on to him in the beginning. (He could snap a leather leash with no problem.),

embarrasingZoe whose barking could be heard outside the house,

this was toughSteele who was a confirmed CAR CHASER at only eight weeks old. (The breeder who sent him my way said that if I didn’t take him, he’d never make it to six months old.)

And that’s just some of the puppies in my life.

A friend of mine asked me, “Why do you get all the difficult puppies?”

The answer is simple.

Because when I started out, no one ever showed me how to pick out a puppy that was a perfect fit for me.

And now I can truthfully tell you... “I know what it’s like to teach a puppy to use a litter box, get a dog to stop barking, car chasing, or pulling on the leash.”

I want to help you avoid the mistakes I made when I was starting out... By sharing the secrets, answers, and shortcuts to finding the perfect puppy.

These are the lessons and attention I would have killed to possess back when I was starting out.

I was clueless... desperate for some proven and useable advice... and impatient.

But I had to wait. There wasn't anything like this available back then... and I had to figure it out by seeing what worked and what didn’t work and learning everything from scratch. The hard way.

That's why I'm such a good teacher -- I not only know the shortcuts to doing it right... I also had deep familiarity with the wrong turns out there, and I will help you avoid every single one.

...So you can find the perfect puppy as fast as you can get moving.

There is no reason at all why you can't put these secrets to work for you as soon as you start your first lesson -- just as so many others have done.

The Perfect Puppy/Best Dog EverŪ System truly is a resource that will help you find your new best friend easily.

Here's How the Perfect Puppy System Works to Guarantee You Get the Puppy that’s Perfect for You!


Okay, great. Now you understand why you need to take this process seriously to ensure you wind up with a great dog.

So now let’s talk about how I’m going to help make this happen for you.

What we’ve put together for you today is the Perfect Puppy System “powered by” our Best Dog Ever philosophy. Over on my main web site, through my bestselling books, through my interviews with CNN, Fox and NBC, and with my hundreds of personal clients, I teach people exactly how to raise, teach and train their dogs to be the best companions they’ll ever have.

But so many people have written in to me asking for my help in choosing a puppy that we decided to create this special system just for you.

I know that not everyone has the resources to pay to fly me across the country to help them choose their new puppy (yes, my private clients DO do this), so we worked hard to come up with a way to share the exact same system I use with my private clients, but to make it accessible to anyone.

What we’ve put together for you is a comprehensive 5-part video series that covers the entire Perfect Puppy System from A to Z.

Nothing is left out and nothing is held back. It truly is the next best thing to having me there by your side as you pick out your new puppy.

I want you to have this today so you can totally put your mind at ease about the commitment you’re about to make.

Here’s what’s included in the Perfect Puppy System...
Module #1: Perfect Puppy Insider Secrets

In Module #1 we’re going to go through the basics of choosing the puppy that’s right for you.

We’ll talk about evaluating different dog breeds, choosing the type of dog that fits perfectly with YOUR lifestyle, how to spot the signs of a dog with potential health or psychological problems, and more.

By the end of this video, you’ll know...


An easy to follow checklist that screens for physical and psychological problems -- it’s easy to miss these hidden clues if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, so pay special attention to this section.
How to easily spot the three types of “dog drive” -- and how to classify each puppy you evaluate into one of these three categories, which instantly makes your job of choosing the perfect puppy easier and faster -- and dramatically increases the chances you’ll make the right decision.
What to do if you don’t have access to the puppy’s parents (if adopting from a shelter or rescuing a puppy) that minimizes your risk of winding up with a puppy who may have hidden behavior problems that most people would miss.
If you’re buying from a breeder, you need to know about the 3 things you never want to see in your new puppy’s whelping box, and one thing you absolutely do -- that will give you an instantaneous clue as to whether or not the breeder is someone you want to be doing business with.
How to evaluate any breeder in under 5 minutes just by asking a few simple questions.

WARNING:
You do NOT want to buy a puppy from a breeder who gives the wrong answers to these questions!
Module #2: Breeder Detective Toolkit

In Module #2, I’ll show you exactly how to play “Breeder Detective” to spot the hidden signs of trouble a disreputable breeder will try and hide from you.

We’ll go inside a breeder’s home together and I’ll walk you through everything step-by-step as I show you what to look for to separate the good breeder from the bad.

If you’re buying a dog from a breeder, this step is SO IMPORTANT that I can’t stress it enough!

By the end of this video, you’ll know...


The simple thing a breeder can and should do if they’re trying to raise puppies that will already be well socialized BEFORE you bring them home.

If your breeder isn’t doing these things, you’ll have to start from square one YOURSELF and train your new puppy to “unlearn” bad habits he picked up from the breeder.
How to “size up” an entire litter in just a few minutes so you can focus only on those puppies with the best potential to be your new best friend.

For example, there are a few very subtle clues puppies will give you that they may grow up to be dominant, or laid back, or “skittish,” that you need to be able to recognize.

I’ll give you the full list so you can spot these clues for yourself right away and avoid any surprises down the road.
If the breeder has placed this simple piece of training equipment in the litter’s whelping box, he or she just made your task of house training your new puppy about 10 times easier!

I’ll show you what this is and why it works so well. (The best breeders use this, and this is a GREAT clue that you’ve found a conscientious breeder who’s working hard to produce a great puppy for YOU.)
Module #3 - Puppy Evaluation Exercises

In this section we’ll visit a new litter of 7-week old pups and you’ll be able watch as I put them through their paces.

Together we’ll watch for things like personality traits and signs that the puppies have been well-socialized and cared for.

I’ll also show you the warning signs that the puppies you’re considering have not been raised properly, which makes your job that much harder once you get them home.

By the end of this video, you’ll be able to...

. No surprises!
Recognize the 4 personality types that nearly all puppies will fall into. This is CRUCIAL to know so that you don’t wind up getting a puppy with a personality that’s the exact opposite of what you want.

Avoid a potentially disastrous mistake that many people make by evaluating a puppy when he’s “not himself.”

You’ll actually watch how a puppy’s personality dramatically changes in under 2 minutes, and I’ll explain how and why it can happen.

Many, many people who make a “first impression” guess at a puppy’s temperament make this mistake, only to wind up regretting it later on. You don’t want to miss this.
Meet the puppy’s mother (if she’s available) and use her personality and traits to shine a spotlight on the clues to what your puppy will be like as he grows up.

This is SO important but most people skip this step.

Will You Be Kicking Yourself For The Rest Of Your Life If You Didn’t Try Everything Possible To Find the Perfect Puppy?

Probably.

One way or another, you're going to remember the day you read this letter and look back on it in one of two ways...

You're going to realize that taking advantage of the opportunity to invest in this one-of-a-kind package was the best decision you ever made, or...

You're going to regret letting this opportunity slip through your fingers as you struggle with a dog that's just not right for you for the next 15 years.

And that would be a shame.

Because not only does it add stress and pain to your life, it deprives you of having the kind of dog that completes your life.

You can choose to "roll the dice" and hope it works out, or you can take "chance" out of it.

I can’t make the decision for you. It’s 100% up to you.

I can help you, but you’ve got to take the first step.

A lot of puppy buyers spend a lot of time "thinking about it" and then worrying, or complaining about the puppy they brought home. They KNOW they should get off the dime and learn from an expert who has made the mistakes and learned the lessons, so they can have it easy.

But they put it off. Delay it.

But you do have to act. This is one of those turning points you hear other people talk about... where you make a choice that determines whether the puppy you choose will make your life easy... or hard.

It’s up to you.
