If you were given the choice between spending around $ 40 on a dog training manual or spending hundreds of dollars for the services of a professional dog trainer to get virtually the same results which would you choose? If you have the spare time and the desire to learn some new things then you can train your dog every bit as effectively as a professional can.

As a dog owner myself I know full well how frustrating it can be when dogs show poor behavior and are disobedience. Try as we might to break our dogs of these bad habits it can be a maddening exercise in futility and lead to great frustration when they continue. Some people even give up and get rid of their dogs, which is always very sad to hear.

By using a reputable dog training manual created by a professional dog trainer even someone that is a dog owner for the first time can effectively teach their dog obedience, proper behavior and how to follow commands. These dog training manuals are available to buy on the Internet and are instantly accessed in the form of an e-book and instructional videos.

Sure, it is possible to surf around on the Internet to pick up bits and pieces of information that can help you to train your dog but that is a scattershot approach and is definitely not the way you want to go about learning how to train your dog properly. Fortunately for us there is a highly respected dog training manual available online called Secrets to Dog Training.

It is authored by a professional dog trainer and contains dog training techniques coupled along with real-life case studies. The publication is in the form of an e-book that you can read right on your computer screen or downloaded to your computer and then print it out as a hard copy to take with you anywhere you wish. It also comes with a 30 minute instructional video that shows different dog training methods in action.

Not only is it an advantage to purchase a dog training manual online because of the cost savings and convenience of training a dog from your home, but there are other benefits as well. Chief among them is the fact that because you are actually doing the dog training in your home the lessons will be more effective because that is in fact the environment in which the dog lives.

A quality dog training manual will walk the dog owner through the necessary techniques in a step-by-step fashion that will in fact make that person a proficient dog trainer in their own right. It basically becomes a transfer of knowledge and there are no prior skills necessary to learn how to be an effective dog trainer.

They also allow you to focus on any area that may require your immediate attention such as how to stop a dog from barking, biting, doing their business in the house, etc., etc. The true beauty of an effective dog training manual is in its simplicity. The benefits of being able to customize your training lessons cannot be overstated.

And when everything is said and done you are going to have a much happier and healthier dog on your hands. To say nothing about how happy you are going to be with your dog’s exemplary behavior. You can even have some fun and teach them some cool tricks. It is all up to you… and the investment in time and money will be paid back to you exponentially.

Before you finally decide to train your dog with a Prong collar, you have to do a careful research to determine whether or not it is proper to use to your dog.

A Prong collar is made of interlocking metal links. Each of these links has two prongs that stick out inwards. So when the collar is placed over your dog’s head, the prongs sit against its neck. Prong collar training works like this: When the dog performs a bad behavior, the trainer tugs on the leash, as a result the prong collar tightens and pinches the dog’s flesh.

The use of such collar for training is in fact a controversial subject in many animal welfare organizations’ debates. However, prong collar was basically designed only for dogs who failed to respond to other training methods.

Many dog owners are mistaken in the use and fitting of Prong collars. It is very important in such collar training that the owner perfectly understands how to use the collar.

– This kind of collars should never be left on your dog all the time. Such training tool must be put on and taken off before and after training sessions.
– A comfortable fit is required. Try to remove some links so that the collar fits snugly.
– Positioning of the collar is important. Place it right behind the ears and up under the jaw and NOT down at the shoulders of your dog.
– Attach the leash to the dead-ring for normal to average training. This will allow the collar to remain the same size during training while providing less force.
– Allow your dog to become comfortable with the collar. Place it about 20 minutes before training and remove it about 20 minutes after the training as well.

If you are considering purchasing this training tool, take extra effort to learn its correct use. Also, prong collars are not supposed to be permanent collars. Never use this type of collar all the time as your dog might develop a tolerance and you’ll effectively eliminate any training value of the collar. On regular days, just use an ordinary collar. Do not leave the collar on your dog when you are not training.
