What Is It?

Secrets to Dog Training presents an unusually detailed and thorough look at how to both prevent and deal with the more common problem behaviors exhibited by dogs.As the owner of a moderately troublesome mutt Daniel Stevens, have spent a fairamount of time searching the Net for reliable resources on this topic, and I have tosay that the level of knowledge and detail contained within the pages of thiscompendium is unusually exacting for an online book.

Not only that, but again, unusually for this medium the information at hand isactually (gasp!) reliable. Yes, that's right - this one's a whole new kettle of fish.Written by a seasoned dog trainer, you can relax in the knowledge that all the tipsand advice included are tried and true, and come from Stevens' real-life experiencesas a professional dog trainer. There is also a straight-talking, easy to follow30-minute downloadable video which provides real-life examples of doggy badbehavior along with solutions and remedies to change them.

What's Covered?

There's a pretty impressive range of information packed into this guide. It's not justthe problem behaviors that are covered: the book starts off with new-owner advice(how to choose a puppy/dog, the best places to get one from, breed information,puppy/dog-proofing your home, the first vet visit, housetraining, etc) and then moveson to the more advanced stuff: behavioral problems (such as aggression,dominance, chewing, digging, excessive barking, separation anxiety, to name a few),intermediate-level obedience commands, health-related dog problems (allergies, cat/dog coexistence, fleas, heatstroke, and so on), and advanced commands and tricks.

The 30-minute downloadable video gives a great insight into a dog's quest to be thealpha dog and how you can prevent this. Its quick steps to stop bad behaviors suchas housebreaking right through to leash pulling are so simple you can start tryingthem out on your dog straight away.Particularly Good Parts.

In addition to the contents listed above, there's also a pretty impressive section ondog whispering, which in case you haven't heard of it already is a method of dogtraining based on a philosophy of clear communication and mutual respect. It's beenpopularized in recent years by Cesar Millan ("The Dog Whisperer"), and isbecoming increasingly well-known as an alternative and humane method fordisciplining and training your dog. Secrets to Dog Training has dedicated an entiresection 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 thetechnique to calmly, assertively, and effectively correct and train your dog. Step-bysetinstructions are included for the common commands (sit, down, come, stay,quiet, etc).

It makes for some pretty interesting reading and, after trying out the basics on my own recalcitrant pooch, I was amazed at how effective the techniques suggestedare. Highly recommended!

ILove Freebies (Who Doesn't?)

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 Secrets to Dog Training hasn't let me down: the freebies included with this book are not only numerous,they're actually useful(wow!)

4) and finally, how to begin training your dog for security work.

Secrets to Dog Training: A Thumbnail Sketch

Altogether, I'm pretty impressed with this package. I've owned dogs on and off mywhole life, starting from when I was ten I would have thought that I was betterpreparedthan most to handle the quirks and caprices of my canine friends.

But since reading this book, I think my pre-Secrets to Dog Training self was(embarrassingly) perhaps a trifle more complacent than knowledgeable - I've learnedmore since reading this manual than I've picked up in a near-lifetime's worth ofcontact 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 thisbook, I certainly didn't!)

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

I have no qualms in recommending this package to anyone who owns, or is thinkingabout owning, a dog. You don't need to have a "problem pet" for the manual to beof assistance: there's information included that'll be useful to any and all dog owners.

In a nutshell: highly recommended.
