Dog Training Help - The Importance Of Knowing How Your Dog “Thinks” And Understands.

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Before you can learn certain important dog training secrets, you need to know how your dog thinks and how he operates. Dog training needs to be done around your dog’s unique personality.Dog Positive Power Training

1. Who is the leader here?

The first issue that needs to be sorted is who the leader is. That is how dogs think and if you do not establish yourself as the leader your dog will probably volunteer for the job. This can lead to lots of problems. Dogs cannot function properly outside a team structure.

2. What motivates your dog?

This one is easy to answer, ATTENTION. This leads to the irony of negative attention. Anything that gets you to give him attention will be repeated, even if it is negative attention. It is important to understand this. Fortunately this is also the key to the power of Positive Reinforcement Training or as some calls it Dog Positive Power Training.

3. Does my dog really understand me?

.No, a dog does not understand a human language. He understands what we can call “doglish” for want of a better word. It has three elements

a) Eye contact

b) Body language

c) Tone

Do have a look at SitStayFetch for more on this.

SitStayFetch Book - Dog Obedience Training Book

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

So what is the SitStayFetch Book?


That is a question you may well ask.
The SitStayFetch book is a detailed and thorough look at how you can prevent, as well as, deal with common behavior problems often exhibited by dogs. I am the owner of a moderately troublesome dog myself and I have spent a lot of time searching for reliable information on dog training. I have to say that I am very impressed with level and depth of the information contained in SitStayFetch.

I am also very impressed with the fact that the information is actually reliable. So of ten information you get from the internet are inaccurate or at least incomplete. The information contained in SitStayFetch is accurate and reliable. This e-book has been written by a knowledgeable dog trainer so you can relax and know that it is a good e-book. You can be assured that the knowledge and all the tips and advice included are tried and true, and come from Stevens’ real-life experiences as a professional dog trainer.

What Are All The Aspects Covered By this e-book?

  • Obviously behavior problems are covered extensively.
  • There is also advice on choosing a puppy.
  • Some advice on dog breeds.
  • The best place to get a puppy.
  • Puppy and dog proofing your house.
  • Your first visits to the vet.
  • Housetraining
  • Aggression
  • Dominance
  • Destructive chewing
  • Digging
  • Excessive barking
  • Separation anxiety
  • Intermediate level obedience commands
  • Health related problems
  • Advanced commands and tricks

Here Are Some Particularly Good Parts:
In addition to the contents listed above, there’s also a pretty impressive section 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. It’s been popularized in recent years by Cesar Millan (“The Dog Whisperer”), and is becoming increasingly well-known as an alternative 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, 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. Step-by-set instructions are included for the common commands (sit, down, come, stay, quiet, etc).

There are also some freebies:
There’s just something about getting something for nothing. And, although my magpie-like acquisitiveness may have led me into less-than-productive purchases in the past, in this particular case I’m happy to report that SitStayFetch hasn’t let me down: the freebies included with this book are not only numerous, they’re actually useful(wow!)

The book itself costs $37. For this price, you get a complete and detailed manual on training your dog, preventing and handling behavioral problems, and a whole bunch of general-knowledge tips and advice.

You also get a handful of practical freebies: four bonus books, dealing respectively with advanced housetraining how-to’s and troubleshooting (including both the crate- and paper-training methods); a detailed study on resolving canine aggression; how to effectively groom your dog (including information on coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and nail-clipping how-to’s); and finally, how to begin training your dog for security work.

Another particularly useful 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 flick them a quick email and receive a personalized, thorough reply packed with expert advice and practical tips.

SitStayFetch: A Thumbnail Sketch
Altogether, I’m pretty impressed with this package. I’ve owned dogs on and off my whole life, starting from when I was ten – I would have thought that I was better-prepared than most to handle the quirks and caprices of my canine friends.

But since reading this book, I think my pre-SitStayFetch self was (embarrassingly) perhaps a trifle more complacent than knowledgeable - I’ve learned more since reading this manual than I’ve picked up in a near-lifetime’s worth of contact with dogs (do you know how to stop your dog from tugging on the leash, without using a check-chain? Well, I do – but until I got my hands on a copy of this book, I certainly didn’t!)

Several of the training techniques present a refreshingly common-sense, down-to-earth approach to dog training; others require a little more effort (take dog whispering as an example) but yield some pretty dramatic results. I liked the way that more than one training technique is detailed, to allow the reader to pick and choose the techniques that best suit themselves and their individual dogs.

I have no doubts in recommending the SitStayFetch book. Check it out; I’m convinced you’ll love it.

Enjoy your dog and look out for our article on your lifestyle and having a dog.

Dog Training Help: Choosing The Right Breed

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

You may be wondering what an article on dog breeds has to do with dog training help. Well, dog training starts even before you have your dog. Choosing the right dog for you and your family is the first step in dog training. No amount of dog training help is going to help you change a dog that is just completely wrong for you. You need to know the characteristics of the different breeds in order to choose a suitable breed for your circumstances. In a later article I will take a look at “lifestyle” that obviously forms part of this whole issue.

Basically dogs can be divided into seven groups:

* Sporting group
* Hound group
* Working group
* Herding group
* Non-sporting group
* Terrier group
* Toy group

1. The Sporting Group:

These dogs were bred to help with hunting fowl. They are excellent companions and will fetch whatever you want them to. You get four types in this group:

a. Pointers
b. Retrievers
c. Spaniels
d. setters

2. The Hound Group:

Your hound dogs like following fast-moving game and this has made them a favorite in hunting circles. They are easy going and at times stoic and they make very good family pets. You get three types in this group:

a. Sight hounds
b. Scent hounds
c. Large game hounds

3. The Working Group:

The classification of this group is self explanatory. You get four types in this group:

a. Sled/Draft dogs
b. Personal protection dogs
c. Rescue dogs
d. Estate guarding dogs

4. The Herding Group:

These dogs were bread to herd livestock. They are hard working dogs that like to work under direction. There are two types in this group:

a. Sheep herders
b. Cattle herders

5. The Terrier group:

Terriers are very determined animals and they do not know about losing. There are two types of terriers:

a. Vermin hunters
b. Fighting breeds

6. The Non-Sporting Group:

Most of these dogs were bred for specific work, but, as dogs do not work much in modern times they’ve become good companions. As they were originally bred for specific tasks their personalities can vary a lot. Consulting breed-specific books are essential before getting one of these dogs.

7. The Toy Group:

These dogs are mainly miniature versions of working or hunting dogs. They need little exercise (though they do need exercise) and lots of loving attention. It is essential that you train these little darlings as they can really take over the household.

Mixed breeds do not have to be ignored. They can make very good pets. The only problem with mixed breeds is that you cannot predict their personality. If you can get background information on the puppy’s origins you will be better able to predict his nature. Like all dogs, mixed breeds need a lot of attention and good, loving training.
