I wanted to include this product on this website because I think there are many who own dogs as just pets and then there are those that own working breeds that want to train their dog to perform far more advanced things than just sit, lay down and roll over. I also love his philosophy of dog training which says that dog training “begins on the day you make up your mind to learn how dogs think and how they relate to the world they live in. It begins when you decide to relate to your dog in a manner that both you and your dog respect and understand. It begins when you make up your mind to develop a meaningful relationship based on trust, communication and control”.

Any kind of dog training goals you have in mind begin with basic dog obedience including Service Dog Training.

The information in this video is designed to be watched again and again and again. There is more information here than you would get in any local 10 week obedience class.

This DVD is organized into chapters, just like a book. The menu for the DVD allows you to watch the chapter you want when you want. This makes for a very simple review

The DVD will show you how to approach dog training. It will teach you how to break a task into small incremental training steps (or building blocks). Once the dogs has learned each of these small blocks we show how to put them back together again so the dog can easily perform the exercises.

What this DVD covers:

1- How to train your own dog in your own home.

2 – How obedience training can develop a fun relationship with your dog.

3- How to get control over your dog and make him respect your commands

4- Good information leads to improved confidence in working with your dog. You learn the tools to overcome training concerns.

5- You will learn to problem solve. No one can anticipate EVERY problem EVERY dog owner will have. You will learn how to approach a problem and come up with a workable solution.

6- What to expect from your dog and what to do when the dog does the unexpected.

7- How to develop your timing to reward and praise – good timing is critical to successful dog training.

8- You will learn when to correct your dog, how to correct your dog and most importantly when NOT TO CORRECT YOUR DOG.

9 – You will learn how to approach and organize a training session so you and the dog get the most out of your training time.

Dog training should be fun for both you and your dog. This is accomplished by learning to properly “praise.” After watching the section on praising, you will not only understand correct praise, you will see what happens when you don’t praise enough, or just as importantly what happens when you praise too much. Praising a dog is not something that comes naturally to a lot of people, especially men, but every dog trainer/owner needs to learn how to properly “praise” his dog.
