Keep in mind, behavior/obedience problems can happen with any breed of dog. They may be experiencing problems because the dog is just young, or has been trained poorly or abused. It is important to identify these behaviors and then address them. Did you know social confusion is one reason that a dog might act out. Dogs think about their human families as their pack. So, it is important that your dog realizes that he is at the bottom of the pecking order. While this may seem strange or harsh, remember that submissive pack members will do what the dominant members say.Period. That means you, the Dog Parent, must learn how to train your dog or puppy, so you, your kids and your dog have the best life possible. Why? Because we all want to be respected by other dog owners as someone who takes great care of their dog. However, there are tons of “so-called dog training” products on the market.
Trust me, I have tried them all. However, one continues to rise above the rest -Secrets to Dog Training .
There’s an impressive amount of
information packed into this guide. It’s not just the
problem behaviors that are discussed. The book starts off
with new dog owner advice (how to choose a puppy or dog,
the best places to get your dog from, breed information,
puppy and/or dog proofing your home, the first
veterenarian visit, housetraining and more). If you are looking for more advance info it
covers: behavioral problems
(such as aggression, dominance, chewing, digging,
excessive barking, separation anxiety),
intermediate-level obedience commands, health-related
dog problems (allergies, cat/dog coexistence, fleas,
heatstroke), and advanced commands and tricks. There is
also an impressive section on dog
whispering. Daniel Stevens 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 or puppy. Step-by-step
instructions are included for basic commands (sit, down,
come, stay, quiet).
I Love Free Stuff – Don’t You?
You also get a handful of freebies:
four bonus books, dealing with advanced housetraining including both the crate- and paper-training methods; a
detailed examination on resolving canine aggression; how
to effectively groom your dog (including information on
coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and
nail-clipping); and finally, how to begin training your
dog for security work – even if that means just
protecting the family home. My favorite freebie: a personalized
consultation with a member of the Kingdom of Pets team.
If you’ve got an issue with your dog that you’d like
some individual attention on, you can send them a quick
email and receive a personalized, thorough reply packed
with expert advice and practical tips. Now that’s
service!
I have no qualms in recommending
the Secrets to Dog Training 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 can be useful to any and all
dog owners. From personal experience, the only
other thing I would do is upgrade to the Secrets to Dog
Training premium version because it has an
online video series that is excellent as well as
software which allows you to keep track of all the
necessary and important details about your dog such as
medical history, vaccinations, operations, appointments,
obedience training, and much more.
In a nutshell: highly
recommended
