The floor’s wet again.
Your hands look like you tried to pet a tiny piranha. Bedtime turns into crate karaoke. And the front door? Instant chaos.
Yeah. That’s not a “read one book and you’re done” season. It Was the Dog – Puppy Training Series is the complete 8-book puppy-training library built for real dogs and real homes. Start with the fire you’re putting out today (puddles, biting, destructive chewing, crate screaming, sleep chaos, leash pulling, recall that vanishes outdoors, or front-door greetings that turn into a full-contact sport) and keep the next answer on your shelf for whatever hobby your puppy picks up tomorrow.
Each guide is practical, step-by-step, and actually usable at 6:12 a.m. with one sock on. It’s also rooted in current veterinary and behavioral research, without dominance tactics or a bunch of theory you have to translate into real life. There’s even a weird puppy calm trick or two in here, because sometimes that’s what saves the day.

It Was the Dog is an 8-book puppy training series by Johnny Stegmeier built for real people living with real dogs in real houses. Every book stands on its own, so you can jump straight to the problem that’s currently stealing your sleep, your shoulders, or your sanity.
Pup to Speed
Pup to Speed starts at day one with the routines that make everything else easier.
The Potty Training Reset
Reset the routine and build a potty training system your puppy can actually follow, so you can stop reacting to accidents and start seeing the pattern that lets you close the gap and make the messes disappear.
Stop Puppy Biting & Destructive Chewing
Redirect biting, reduce destructive chewing and build calmer habits around people and household items, without yelling, scaring your puppy or turning into the “dominant” owner you never wanted to be.
Crate, Sleep & Calm Alone Time
Build calmer crate habits, better sleep and the ability to spend time alone without turning it into drama, so you can actually sleep through the night again without crate crying waking the whole house.
Loose-Leash Walking Without the Tug-of-War
Build focus, reduce pulling and make walks calmer and more predictable, so you can walk your dog without shoulder pain or being dragged down the street and finally feel proud of how you look together in public.
Come When Called
Come When Called builds a recall that holds up when real life shows up.
Calm Greetings
Reduce jumping and teach calmer approaches to people and dogs without crushing enthusiasm, so you can have guests over without your dog knocking them flat and stop dreading every knock at the door.
The Confident Puppy
Build resilience around new places, strange sounds, unfamiliar surfaces and all the other suspicious nonsense life provides.
From first-night chaos to a dog you can actually take places.
It’s 2:11 a.m., the crate is loud, your hands look like you argued with a tiny shark, and tomorrow’s walk is already scheduled as a tug-of-war. That’s the moment this system is built for.
Get the first month under control
Start with the weird puppy calm trick that makes routines, potty habits, sleep, socialization and those first crate nights feel doable.
Fix the puppy chaos
Tackle the stuff that makes you lose your patience: accidents, those puppy teeth that leave marks on your hands and arms every single day, chewing, crate crying that keeps the whole house up all night, and the early behaviors that hit before you’ve even had coffee.
Build real-world manners
Work on leash walking, recall and greetings so daily life becomes easier outside the living room.
Build confidence for everything else
Help your dog handle new places, sounds, surfaces and surprises without treating every odd thing as an emergency. No dominance tactics. No theory soup. Just step-by-step methods that work in actual homes with actual dogs.
Why the complete collection makes sense.
One minute it’s a puddle by the couch. Next minute it’s teeth on your hands. Then bedtime turns into a crate protest concert and the front door becomes a full-contact sport.
Start with today’s problem
Not because you need to sit down and read eight books in a row. You don’t. Grab the guide that matches today’s emergency and run the steps in a real home, with a real puppy, on a real schedule.
Keep the next answer nearby
When the biting fades and the chewing starts. When potty training clicks and loose-leash walking suddenly matters. When socialization, recall, calm greetings, sleep routines, and confidence become the new “why is my dog doing this” of the week, you already have the next playbook on the shelf.
