We
are often asked which is the best dog training manual available today,
in my personal opinion (an opinion shared by many) the latest version
of SitStayFetch the offers the best value. Why? Because not only has
it proven itself to be a very successful dog obedience training manual
the latest version also offers personal help and support from a professional
dog trainer should you need it.
What exactly is in the sitstayfetch dog training manual?
SitStayFetch
is an unusually detailed and thorough look at, not only how to train
your dog, but how to prevent and deal with the common dog behavior problems
that may occur. Written by a very experienced dog trainer, you can be
sure that all the tips and advice given are tried and true, and come
from Daniel Stevens’ real-life experiences as a professional dog
trainer.
There is an impressive range of information packed into this guide.
The book starts off with advice for those who have yet to choose a puppy
or dog, and offers suggestions on the best places to get one from, breed
information, how to prepare your home, the first vet visit, and initial
housetraining, etc. The more advanced stuff: follows, how to overcome
behavioral problems (such as aggression, chewing, digging, dominance,
excessive barking and separation anxiety to name a few). There is an
in depth look at dog obedience commands going right through to advanced
level commands, there is even a section on how to teach your dog new
tricks. Mr. Stevens also gives advice on what to do if your dog has
health problems such as allergies, heatstroke, fleas and so on.
Particularly
Good Parts
There is a section in the book which I think all dog owners should read,
it is 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. Dog whispering is becoming
increasingly well-known as a very effective and humane method for disciplining
and training your dog. SitStayFetch has dedicated an entire section
to dog whispering: Daniel Stevens explains the background of the technique
and how to use your voice and body language to achieve quick and easy
results. Step-by-set instructions are included for the common commands
(sit, come, down, stay, quiet, etc).
Sitstayfetch
makes interesting reading and thanks to modern technology you can now
even learn to train your dog while driving your car. The publishers
have recently included an audio version of the book as a bonus download
which I found really useful. When you are out walking your dog its handy
to be able to listen to the advice real time rather than trying to remember
what you read.
Sitstayfetch
comes with an impressive bunch of bonus materials; the dog training
audio book is only one. The other bonuses include:
Dog Aggression - a detailed study on resolving canine aggression.
All the House Training Methods & Tricks
Dog Grooming Made Easy - how to effectively groom your dog (including
information on coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and nail-clipping
how-to’s)
Tips on Security Training Your Dog
And my personal favorite Unlimited access to the Members Only Dog Community

Remember:
You can train an older dog, but it is not as easy as training a pup.
Start training your dog as soon as possible.
