What is it about potty training puppies, getting your puppy to stop chewing, and why is crate training important, anyway? Does dog and puppy training really have to be this difficult?

Are you seeking answers to questions about puppy training techniques, basic puppy training, how to train new puppies, and how to train older dogs? Are you after the “trick” to understanding dog behavior? So many people have questions about destructive chewing, recognizing, preventing and handling dog aggression, housetraining, correct crate training and crate housebreaking and so many other questions having to do with dog training techniques, that the whole subject can seem hoplessly overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be that way. I’ll try to explain.

The key to almost all dog training technique lies in the repetition of specific, gradient steps followe by rewards. What many people fail to realize, however, is that solutions to even the most bizarre dog problems often lie in understanding basic dog behavior. There is no shortage of material about dog training and resolving dog behavior problems. For example, almost all of us have heard of the Dog Whisperer. I would like to mention one resource that many people have great success with. This is the Sit, Stay, Fetch dog training course.

The course itself is written by Daniel Stevens, who is a veteran dog trainer and handler and is based on his years of experience working with dogs. The course covers many areas of concern to dog owners and new dog owners:

*how to choose a puppy or dog
*the best places to get a new dog
*how to puppy proof your home
*what to expect on your first vet visit
*house training
*aggression
*dominance
*excessive barking
*separation anxiety
*digging

And those are just a few of the topics covered. The book also deals with health-related dog problems such as allergies, how to handle dog and cat coexistence problems,fleas, heatstroke, and so forth. The book covers many different ways to handle dog training needs and how to resolve behavior problems. In fact, there is even a special section on Dog Whispering. As you may know, dog whispering is a technique or an approach made popular by Cesar Millan through his television show “The Dog Whisperer.” In Sit, Stay, Fetch, the author explains the background of the technique and how to use your voice and body language to the best advantage. In this section, the author explains how to call the assertively and effectively and train your dogs behavior. The course provides clear step-by-step instructions on how to achieve this result.

Overall, I’d say that the material presented is based in common sense and comprises a set of down to earth techniques. The manual itself is complete and detailed and provides a set of step-by-step instructions on how to train your dog and prevent and handle behavioral problems.

The course includes a set of bonuses that deal with topics such as,

*advanced house-training and trouble-shooting
*canine aggression
*dog grooming
*dental care
*the basics of training a dog for security work

An added bonus is email consultation with a member of the Sit, Stay, Fetch group to help with problems that you’d like individual help with. If you have a particular issue you need assistance with, merely send an email, and they promise a thorough, expert reply with detailed advice and practical tips.

Remember, knowledge is power. If you are serious about establishing or maintaining an enduring relationship with your dog, learn how to understand dog behavior and discover step-by-step instructions for almost alldog and puppy training techniques.
