Do you have a new puppy or dog that you want to make sure is well behaved and obedient? I’d like to recommend that you get started the right away by following one of the excellent on-line video dog obedience training courses. If you like to learn best from watching and listening to an expert teach you, rather than trying to learn something new from a book, you will really benefit from getting yourself a copy of an on-line video program.

By starting to train your dog with the expert advice you can get through a great dog obedience training program, you will be getting started the right way-that way you can avoid the mistakes nearly everyone makes, which make it much more difficult to train their dogs themselves. Avoiding the mistakes of bad training techniques is almost as important as teaching the exercises themselves as far as getting quick and long lasting results. By watching an expert training a dog on a good dog training video you can really get a good feel for the training, and how you should go about training your dog.

By listening to the expert’s voice on the video, you will find that the tones of voice you use, as well as your body language, are important tools in your training effort. You will learn that you must use an upbeat and cheerful voice and lots of praise to get the great results that positive conditioning creates. On the other hand, if your dog isn’t behaving properly, you will learn what tones of voice to use to correct your dog-and why raising your voice to yell at your dog is a big mistake that will set back the training. In a book you are told what tone of voice to use, but with a dog training video you can actually hear the right vocal tones.

Dog training videos are great for those of us who seem to learn better by watching and listening than merely by reading or through just a vocal explanation. I know that I learn best when I can actually see how something is done, as well as listen to an explanation, so dog training videos really appeal to me.

I like to watch the dog videos on the Internet for good ideas and also for the entertainment. If you have watched some of these you can see everyone seems to have their own way of going about it. I have noticed that all the best trained pups and dogs were trained with positive training techniques.

However, I wouldn’t recommend trying to learn everything you need to know about obedience training and raising your dog from watching homemade Internet dog training videos. Anyone who wants to learn to train their dog using dog training videos as a guide really needs a complete program of step by step dog training videos that take you on a logical course from puppyhood basic training steps, and then through all the more advanced tricks as the puppy matures enough to absorb further training.

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 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.
