 There are many ways to undertake Dog Training. As I am sitting
here writing this my dog Sandy is lying by my feet snoozing away, I scoured the Internet trying to find out how best to train her quickly and in her best interest then I came across a dog training book and I have to say that the level of knowledge and detail contained within the pages of this compendium is unusually exacting for an online book. Not only that, but – again, unusually for this medium – the information at hand is actually (gasp!) reliable. Yes, that’s right - this one’s a whole new kettle of fish. Written by a seasoned dog trainer, you can relax in the knowledge that all the tips and advice included are tried and true. There’s a pretty impressive range of information packed into this guide. It’s not just about dog training, problem behaviors are also covered: the book starts off with new-owner advice (how to choose a puppy/dog, the best places to get one from, breed information, puppy/dog-proofing your home, the first vet visit, housetraining, etc) and then moves on to the more advanced stuff: behavioral problems (such as aggression, dominance, chewing, digging, excessive barking, separation anxiety, to name a few), intermediate-level obedience commands, health-related dog problems (allergies, cat/dog coexistence, fleas, heatstroke, and so on), and advanced commands and tricks. In addition to the contents listed above, there’s also a pretty impressive section on dog whispering, which – in case you haven’t heard of it already – is a method of dog training based on a philosophy of clear communication and mutual respect. It’s been popularized in recent years by Cesar Millan (“The Dog Whisperer”), and is becoming increasingly well-known as an alternative and humane method for disciplining and training your dog. There is an entire section to dog whispering: it explains the background of the technique, how to utilize voice and body language to your best advantage, and how to use the technique to calmly, assertively, and effectively correct and train your dog. Step-by-set instructions are included for the common commands (sit, down, come, stay, quiet, etc). After trying out the basics on my own recalcitrant pooch, I was amazed at how effective the techniques suggested are. Highly recommended! You also get a handful of practical freebies: four bonus books, dealing respectively with advanced housetraining how-to’s and troubleshooting (including both the crate- and paper-training methods); a detailed study on resolving canine aggression; how to effectively groom your dog (including information on coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and nail-clipping how-to’s); and finally, how to begin training your dog for security work. Altogether, I’m pretty impressed with this package. I’ve owned dogs on and off my whole life, starting from when I was ten – I would have thought that I was better-prepared than most to handle the quirks and caprices of my canine friends. Several of the training techniques present a refreshingly common-sense, down-to-earth approach to dog training; others require a little more effort (take dog whispering as an example) but yield some pretty dramatic results. I liked the way that more than one dog training technique is detailed, to allow the reader to pick and choose the techniques that best suit themselves and their individual dogs. I have no qualms
in recommending this package to anyone who owns, or is thinking about
owning, a dog. You don't need to have a "problem pet" for the book to
be of assistance: there's information included that'll be useful to
any and all dog owners. So click one of the banners on the site and
very soon you will be amazed at the change in your dog's behavior, maybe
you to could become professional at dog
training! To a better future,
