Secrets to Dog Training (formerly named SitStayFetch) has been revamped and was officially launched on February 2, 2009. SitStayFetch has been the top selling dog training course for over four years, and it has been bought by over 216,000 dog owners world-wide. Having reviewed it in great detail, I can fully understand why it continues to hold the top spot. The revamped version promises to be even better!

Secrets to Dog Training is an extremely comprehensive guide, written by the world renowned trainer, Daniel Stevens. Although the 261-page manual is impressively detailed, its step-by-step format provides straight-forward instructions on how to quickly identify and solve dog behavior problems. It also includes many excellent pictures!

All of the training methods described in the book are tried and true, having been used by Daniel Stevens in his own life as a professional dog trainer.

A 5-page table of contents lets you know from the beginning that this guide is jam-packed full of information. The course is not just one more dog training guide, although that section alone is worth the purchase price. The first part is for owners of a new dog or puppy, covering subjects such as diet and nutrition, house training, how to puppy-proof your home, choosing a vet, grooming, general health, etc. These are just some of the subjects covered to give you an idea of the wide range of information.

Several different training techniques are outlined in the course, including crate training, clicker training, dog whispering, and more. Next, the more advanced behavior issues such as chewing, biting, aggression, digging, jumping, etc. are covered. Several informative and interesting case studies are included in this section. We all love a good story!

In addition, there is a chapter on how to understand your dog and the significance of the owner being perceived as the alpha in the home. Doggy facial expressions, vocals and body language are also included in this section. Aided by photographs, the chapters on obedience training are well articulated and the many stances and commands are presented in excellent detail.

I've outlined just a fraction of what is covered but I'm sure you will agree that it is impressive. I had already heard great things about this course before I actually took a look at it so had high expectations. I have to say that Secrets to Dog Training has not disappointed me - in fact, I'm amazed at the quality and quantity of the information offered for such a low price.

This book is well-written using easily understood language. My reading experience was enhanced by the fact that the book is broken down into small chapters, making it easy to understand and follow. Being faced with a wall of text can be quite overwhelming!

I was glad to see that Secrets to Dog Training provides instructions for obedience training for all ages and problem behaviors. All too often dog trainers offer training for puppies, not recognizing that these problem behaviors can continue into a dog's adulthood.

Another excellent feature is the free consultations offered by the team at Secrets to Dog Training when you buy the course. Just send the team an email and they will provide you with an individual answer for your specific dog behavior problem. You'll receive a response full of practical tips and expert advice.

The following bonus items are included when you buy the guide: an audio book plus 5 extra e-books on house training, security training, aggression, grooming, and secrets to becoming the alpha dog.

A new and exciting bonus being included with the course is a 30-minute downloadable video, which shows effective methods to solve those annoying obedience issues. It is presented by Dave Johnson, the extremely popular dog care professional, who makes it all seem so easy!

The detailed information covered is easy to comprehend and extremely effective. This book is not only useful to dog owners who need help with problem behaviors in their pets. The information in this guide would be of use to everyone looking to have a great rapport with their dog.

Find out why Secrets to Dog Training is the top selling dog training guide for the 4th year in a row!

Training Dogs - Information is a free resource for dog owners offering useful tips on dog training and dog behavior problems.

Have you bought a new puppy and don't quite know how to go about potty training him? Does your dog constantly embarrass you with his insistence on smelling the crotch of everyone who comes through your front door? Is your dog exhibiting aggressive behaviour to the point of nipping at children? If you answered YES to any of the above questions, then you just might be in need of a dog training boot camp manual - something that will guide you on what to do with your dog and prevent you from going totally crazy.

Wouldn't it be nice to have your dog sitting calmly by your side when you open the door to greet a guest? Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to take your dog out for a walk without having to constantly tug on his leash in order to prevent him from chasing after children and other animals? Wouldn't life be perfect if your dog would heel, stay, and sit every time you tell him to and simply await your command rather than insist on what he wants to do? A dog training boot camp manual will certainly help you achieve these things and more.

Let's take a look at one such manual - an eBook entitled "Dog Owner Boot Camp." Is this eBook the dog training boot camp manual that will solve your dog problems? Let's find out.

The book's author claims that this manual promotes a dog training system that is designed for dog owners who have very little or no training experience at all. She also says that the eBook will make you realize that dog training can be very simple and that it can be fun for both you and your dog.

Dr. Steve Kornfeld, a world-renowned veterinarian with over 14 years of experience, says that this dog training boot camp eBook has effectively captured the real essence of owning, training, and raising a dog. In fact, Dr. Kornfeld says that the book is remarkable for its discussion on the special relationship between dog and owner in a manner that makes it seem almost as if it was written by a dog!

The eBook uses easily understood step-by-step instructions that guide you through the entire process of becoming a responsible dog owner. It begins with the process of finding the right breed of dog and then guides you through the intricacies of each stage of your dog's life. It helps you understand why your dog behaves the way he does and tells you how best to handle a specific behaviour. And because caring for a dog requires more than just obedience training, the book also delves into the subject of grooming.

The eBook is not only very comprehensive; it is made even more remarkable by the fact that the words it contains are spoken right from the heart of a dog owner who knows exactly what she is talking about. If dogs were sold with a dog training boot camp manual, then this book would probably be the manual of choice.

There is No Secret to Dog Training

There really is no secret to dog training.

Let me repeat and complete that comment.

There really is no secret to dog training once you read it.

Like the over 216,000 readers of this program, I've had my share of dogs with bad habits.  At the time, I didn't relate the problem as me being the cause except when my pet actually did something right, and then I was a great trainer.  When my pet did not listen, it was the dog's bad habit.

I think back over the dogs I've had in my life, and the list is lengthy. The first in memory was a mix named Suzie. I was quite young and Suzie quite old. She was a good dog, with very few problems that I can remember. A German Shepherd named Duke. Another Duke but a Kerry blue terrier. Duchess was the Dachshund and Peggy the Chihuahua. These were all before I was old enough to be on my own. My mother had two Poodles and a Shitzu after I left the nest.

As an adult, there was Chessy the Schnauzer, A mean Scottie named Sam. Judy the English Bulldog, Tessie the Pomeranian and today it's Abigail, another English Bulldog.  The best by far has been my English Bulldog Abigail. Stubborn, but still the best.

The dogs when I was a youngster had a variety of bad habits. From nipping, chewing and actually attacking. I think of those pets and how, myself, a brother, sister and parents all affected their bad habits. No wonder they were confused.

My dogs, as an adult, were by far more polite, well-behaved and attentive to habits. More than likely due to less confusion. They did not have five conflicting personalities creating the bad habits.

I never really read up on or investigated dog training until the first Bulldog Judy. It wasn't this program, but books from the Library. They were helpful but not like this easy to follow program.

Judy was a good dog and passed away at eleven years old. Tessie the Pomeranian died from kidney failure at four. Abigail is still my sidekick and the most receptive patient to dog training. Secrets of Dog Training has played a big part in her development, or should I say my development. I'm not sure who trained whom.

If your concern is aggression, chewing, house training or any of twenty-five problems, this is the program for you.  260 e-pages with photos and a 30 minute video to download. It is the easiest to read and understand.

So there is no secrets to dog training after you've read

Dogs Can Sign, Too - A Breakthrough Method For Teaching Your Dog to Communicate - By Sean Senechal

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Have you ever wanted to sit down and have a conversation with your dog? Or just ask your pooch "Why are you barking?" Well, that just might be possible according to Sean Senchal. In her book "Dogs Can Sign, Too", she presents a method for communicating with your canine -- a system of gestures that she calls "K9Signs" which could allow your dog to "talk" to you. The goal is to teach dogs to use this sign language to ask for things, to ask or answer questions, and to respond to your commands or comments.

Senechal has established an "academy" (the AnimalSign Center) where people are working every day with dogs and other animals to see just what their limits are as "language learners". The author emphasizes that it will probably be years before any definite conclusions can be drawn as to the ability of non-primate animals to communicate with us, but she offers a number of examples of what she has accomplished in working with her own pets.

One example had to do with her dog Chal who she has worked with for several years. Chal came into a room where Senechal was talking to a friend and tapped a storage drawer with her nose, then lifted her right front leg which is the K9Sign for an object. When Senechal made the sign for "What?", Chal lifted her right front leg and flicked it slightly, the sign for "keys". The author opened the drawer and there was the key to the yard gate; Chal immediately ran out to the gate and waited for Senechal to open it for her.

That story may not seem all that unusual or interesting; after all I had a border collie whose parents herded cattle and sheep and were able to respond to a wide variety of hand and voice signals. The main difference is that in Chal's case she not only responds to various signs, she offers her own canine signs. If you thought Lassie was brilliant, imagine a herd dog that could come to you and sign "Lamb caught under branch in gully over there; wildcat sneaking up on her -- hurry". That's the fascinating part of K9Signs; not just the ability to communicate but the complexity of the information that can be exchanged in just a few signs.

K9Signs training, as Senechal points out, is fundamentally different from obedience training. It calls for encouraging your dog to show creative behavior rather than obedience. Your dog has to be prompted to initiate communication and make requests rather than just respond to commands. Conversation implies a give and take, a two-sided method of communicating and that means your dog has to feel free to "talk back".

Maybe the most important thing to remember in K9Sign training is to make signing fun. If your dog is obviously having trouble understanding what you're doing and seems to be getting frustrated or losing interest, back up and try to break the lesson down into simpler steps and reward the accomplishment of each smaller step. Or go back to something your dog has already learned and enjoys (like playing with a favorite toy) and make that sign. Later you can go back to working on the new sign. Senechal constantly emphasizes the importance of patience, rewards, and slow, easy steps in teaching K9Signs.

I'm not sure I would have the patience for K9Sign training and really, like most dogs, my two already communicate with me without animal signing. For example my Lab will bark and let me know if someone comes to the front door. But if he and I could make use of K9Signs, who knows -- maybe he could tell me "Pat at front door, has pizza" or "Two strange men at front door, smell friendly". Or instead of simply moving around restlessly, maybe our Rottweiler could tell me "Feel bad - need go out and eat grass". It would require a good deal of time and patience, but maybe one of these days I'll work up the courage to give K9Signs a try (and find out what my dogs are really thinking).

If you're interested in learning more about Sean Senechal's K9Signs system or her method of animal signing in general, her books "AnimalSigns To You" and "Dogs Can Sign Too", are both available at http://www.amazon.com.

Dog Training Book - "Dog Training 4 Life" - Reviewed in Detail by Another Expert

AppId is over the quota

An exclusive new dog training book, "Dog Training 4 Life", has recently been published online. It is an excellent training resource for people who would like to benefit from the author, Anne Pottinger's wealth of experience with dogs. She has trained not only puppies, but also older dogs, including many discards rescued from shelters. In fact her wealth of knowledge stems from more than thirty years working with dogs.

Before moving to the US, Anne began training dogs in England under the mentorship and direction of the late, great Barbara Woodhouse, at that time a renowned trainer who also published several bestselling books on the subject and had television shows syndicated worldwide.

Dogs love to please, your praise means everything to them. Unfortunately too many owners never think to praise or reward good behavior, relying instead upon negative reinforcement and punishing bad behavior. Dog Training 4 Life is structured entirely upon Positive Reinforcement coupled with consistency.

Positive reinforcement takes the two things dogs care most about in life-- praise and food -- and make them work to the owner's advantage. The principal is simple: use praise and treats to reward him whenever he does something you are asking him to do correctly, and be consistent. Always use exactly the same command for any action you wish your dog to perform.

Dog Training 4 Life begins by explaining the dog's heritage and how the different types of dogs and breeds developed and evolved. In fact it represents a very well structured and thought out piece of work and anyone reading the book from start to finish will not only have a much clearer perspective on training their dog, they will also know exactly why their chosen breed looks and behaves the way he does.

This e-book is phenomenal value. Well over 80 pages jam packed with really great information! It's also written in a style that keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end, with an abundance of interesting facts that you just don't find in your average dog training book. The author appears to have taken immense care in constructing and writing the e-book, even including little quotes at the beginning every chapter. My favorite is the one by Will Rogers: "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went."

She also offers all her customers a great bonus: Unlimited personal consultations with her via email.

Whether you have a new puppy and want to get off on the right foot, have recently adopted an older dog, or you have had a dog for a long time that has behavior issues that you need to remedy, the Dog Training Book Dog Training 4 Life receives my wholehearted recommendation!

How to Train Your Dog Not to Bark

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

When a dog is irritated by any sort of heat, cold, hunger or thirst it gets its owners attention by excessive barking. It also barks when it is in pain, sick, lonely or sometimes just plain bored. Dogs will also bark to alert you when someone is near or they sense some sort of danger. Dogs are very jealous companions and will even bark when you are talking to a person or ignoring them. Some breeds are more prone to barking than others.

So how exactly do you get a dog to stop barking so much?

One way could be to focus on teaching the dog TO bark! When you can train your dog to bark on cue you can usually pick up on training them to stop barking on cue as well. Another great example is to teach your dog isolation. Your dog should be able to be alone during certain times of the day without having to continually bark. At first this can be difficult and your dog may think that you have forgotten him or are ignoring him which may prompt him to bark even more but after letting it bark for a while they realize that they are merely wasting their own breath.

If you can not figure out why your dog is barking you may want to try a different approach such as treating it at a mutual level as the rest of your family and find the problem and remove it. The main thing to remember when training your dog is to have a lot of patience and compassion.

Kowalski shares advice on nurture yourself after the death of a cherished pet and how important honesty is when speaking with your children about this transition. Kowalski's guide is very therapeutic support when an excellent friend dies, but also impresses his key point: that our pets are essential and they are worthy of our respect and nurturance.
