Dog Training Online - Paws & Effect

Updated on June 12, 2011

No, this hub is not about teaching your dog to use the internet, although if you read below, I'm sure that is one of the many cool things offered in some of the dog training tools at the end of this hub.

Dog Training - Some Common Mistakes

  • Shouting at your dog into obeying your commands (they don't speak English, but they do understand your tone of voice and mood)
  • Inconsistency (don't change the lesson before they've mastered it, dogs need things to be predictable so they can associate events with outcomes - cause and effect)
  • Impatience (as above, don't give up and try to find a different approach with your dog if you're not seeing immediate first time results)
  • Ignoring bad behaviors, thinking your dog will grow out of it
  • Hitting your dog during the learning process (I mean really, what will that achieve?)

Get Dog Obedience Training Online

Taking your "best friend" to a dog training school or other private dog training classes can be pretty expensive. There is nothing worse than spending money on repeated classes and seeing no immediate results (because results just don't happen immediately). You need to learn the secrets to becoming the Alpha Dog yourself.

Benefits of an Online Dog Training Course

  • You learn to teach your dog yourself, which helps you to bond further and gives you a greater sense of achievement. You become even prouder of your pet when commands are obeyed.
  • You can teach your dog at times that suit you.
  • All dogs, like humans, learn at different speeds. If you took your dog to a training school, you might have to pay for additional lessons just to catch up. This is money saved.
  • You can watch videos of successful and/or unsuccessful ways of training your dog. You could also observe the results in either method, helping you to gain better authority over your dog rather than the other way around.
  • It is much much cheaper than offline professional dog training.
  • As a matter of fact, dog training products or courses generally come back with a Money Back Guarantee, so if it doesn't work out, you've got no worries.

Question: Marco, do you know of any great Online Dog Training products?

Answer: Lassie what we've got here...

I'm only aware of one program that everyone in Australia has been raving about. It's called Secrets to Dog Training and over 200,000 people have used it to resolve their dog behavioral issues.

Based on that and the other testimonials it's had, I'd say... get it before your dog's behavior becomes your "pet peeve" (pun intended!) - http://bit.ly/dogcourse
