Amber's Dog Training Tips

I've had many canine friends ask why dog training is not more popular among dog owners, who unwittingly condemn their best friend to a life of misery and even death when he has trouble adapting to his new home. Dog training is a daunting proposition, they say, too expensive, or boring and repetitive.

Let me show you how you can learn the secrets of dog training professionals from the comfort of your own home at a fraction of the cost of dog training classes. Learn how to master dog obedience and handle dog problems like a pro.

Turning your furry friend into a good canine citizen can actually be a lot of fun and does not have to be costly or a chore.

My Library of Dog Training Books

Different dog training books address different canine issues. Select your first dog training book based on your needs and those of your dog or puppy.

Decide whether you want to learn the basics of dog behavior and dog obedience training, or the best way to housebreak your puppy or older dog.

If you are just getting started, you will need to learn basic training skills so you can communicate effectively with your dog. Many dog owners set themselves and their dogs up for failure by being inconsistent: right tone of voice, wrong body positioning. The dog gets blamed for disobeying when in reality he is simply confused.

When your dog is clear on who is alpha dog and is ready to graduate, switch to having fun! Introduce him to clicker training and get his brain working fast and furious trying to figure out new situations.

Or how about using dog training dvds to teach him some of those really clever tricks you've seen canine stars perform on TV? With proper training, he too can be a star!
