"It has been only 2 weeks since I received my shipment of Debbie Martin and Dr. Kenneth Martin's new book Puppy Start Right: Foundation Training for the Companion Dog. I have since seen four new puppy teams, and each family purchased the new book immediately when I shared its many benefits and supportive guidance. Many thanks and kudos to Debbie Martin and Dr. Kenneth Martin. It must have taken time, investment (physical, mental, and financial,) and plain-old hard work to have this published. Now we get to reap the benefits, as do our new dog teams. Great stuff!" – Laura Monaco Torelli, KPA faculty member

"Just wanted to drop you a line on your training manual, Puppy Start Right. Browsing through the ClickerExpo bookstore I happened upon the book, glanced through it, and found it very interesting. I could not wait until I got home to see what was in store for me! Since then, I have picked up the book every day to read—it is exactly what I have been looking for. There is great detail but all the necessary information is provided in layman's terms. Anyone looking for a fantastic training manual, this is it!" – Doug Harris, LuvPup Pet Sitting & Dog Training
