It really helps...

I have a Boston Terrier puppy - lovable but with high energy - and have on hand at least five books on how to raise and train a puppy. This touch technique is very helpful to get Sadie relaxed. And the bonding is an extra special bonus. I would suggest using this book and technique for anyone training a puppy.
