The Do It Yourself Dog Training Guide, is a very good dog obedience training program put together by a very experienced dog health practitioner named Sharda Baker. Sharda, although not a professional dog trainer herself, has produced an excellent resource for dog owners who want an easy to follow common sense approach to teaching their dogs to be well behaved, problem free pets.

Sharda put together her own program after getting spotty results relying on the advice and guidance of many other dog trainers. After realizing that there were many conflicting ideas about what really was the right way to obedience train dogs, Sharda decided to pick out the best aspects of many different trainers, and leave out the ones that weren’t so great.

The techniques that she presents in her program will help you obedience train your dog from his earliest days with you as a new puppy, right on up through all the more advanced training, in an easy to follow systematic step by step program.

Sharda begins helping dog owners before they choose their pet. She provides tips on picking a pet breed that is suitable to your lifestyle and your family. Before bringing home your new pet, you should consider a few things about what dog breed has the characteristics that will make it a great pet for your home. Sharda gives you 4 essential tips about picking the pet that is right for you.

Sharda next teaches you some valuable tips on the easiest way to house train and care for your young puppy, as well as the very beginning steps to take with your young pup’s obedience training. As your dog matures you will learn to teach each following step in a logical and practical order.

Like the other high quality dog training courses, The Do It Yourself Dog Training Guide teaches you about dog psychology. The better understanding you have about how dogs view their world and communicate with each other, the easier it will be for you to always use the right attitude and body language and vocal tones needed to best relate to your dog.

Sharda also devotes a lot of attention to correcting behavior abnormalities. There is a lot of good advice on correcting special problems such as separation anxiety, dog aggression, dogs digging or jumping, and all the rest of the many common dog behavior problems.

Sharda’s experience as a dog health expert also is apparent in her book through the very good advice she gives about caring for your pet’s health-from his earliest days as a puppy to the needs of a dog of senior years.

Malarsie was blinded in an IED attack while serving in Afghanistan in 2010. One year later, with his Fidelco Guide Dog Xxon leading the way, Michael returned to work as the only blind airman on active duty in the Air Force.
