A Dog Training Program Review

So what is Sit Stay Fetch? Sit Stay Fetch is an online dog obedience training program that gives a detailed and thorough approach to both preventing problem dog behaviors, and changing them.

If you've done much research, as I have, to try to find answers to typical dog behavior problems, I'm sure you've realized that there is a lot of inaccurate and useless information out there. That made finding the SitStayFetch program a pleasant surprise. There is a high level of dog training knowledge and it is presented in great detail that is easy to understand. This is quite unusual for an online book about any subject.

Learn More About Sit Stay Fetch

The information is written by an experienced dog trainer, Daniel Stevens, whose expertise comes from actual experience as a professional dog trainer. The tips and advice are not from someone's research, but rather from real-life training. I found this reassuring. And it doesn't just deal with problem behaviors.

The program covers an impressive range of information, beginning with new owner advice. Among the topics covered are how to choose a new puppy or dog, where are the best places to acquire your new pet, dog breed information, how to prepare your home, visiting the vet for the first time, house training, and more.

Some of the more advanced topics are the dog behavior problems like aggression, chewing, barking, separation anxiety, digging, dominance, and obedience commands. It also covers some dog health-related issues as well.

Cesar Millan, who has become known as the "Dog Whisperer," popularized the more humane discipline and dog training method known as dog whispering. Sit Stay Fetch has a whole section that is dedicated to this method. Stevens explains how this method came about, then goes through step-by-step instructions on how to implement this technique to effectively train and correct you dog's behavior. I can highly recommend this very interesting section because it made a difference in my own dog's behavior.

Everyone loves to get more for their money, and SitStayFetch delivers more than just the main training manual, which is $37. You also get four bonus books. They are about advanced house training, canine aggression, dog grooming, and training your dog for security purposes. They also add an unusually valuable personalized consultation through email with a member of the Kingdom of Pets team. You can address a specific issue that you are experiencing, and you'll receive a reply with expert advice.

This program is a thorough and practical guide for dog training that certainly goes beyond the basics. It is easy to follow and easy to implement. The training techniques use common sense to help you rid your dog of annoying little habits, as well as problem behaviors. The nice thing is that you can tailor the information to you and your pet's needs. I can highly recommend the Sit Stay Fetch program as a good investment in your dog's training.

How to Train Your Dog to Sit

By Sam Daniels

When getting a new puppy, the first command a new owner usually tries to teach his new pet is the sit command. Dog training should begin immediately when you bring your new addition home. To “sit” seems to be the easiest command to teach your dog first. However, there are a few tips that could help in training your puppy to sit.

This first thing you do in training your puppy to learn the sit command is to start saying “sit” every time your puppy sits itself. When you do this he learns to associate the word sit with the action. Get down on the floor so that you are at the same level as your dog. You are less threatening to your new puppy when you sit on the floor with him. Also by sitting on the floor you are close to the dog so you can reward him faster.

Speaking of rewards, take out his favorite treat and keep it in your hand. You might want to cut it in small pieces so the puppy can swallow it fast, depending on the treat. Then slowly move the treat over your puppy's head. The reason you do this is so your puppy will smell the treat and follow it with his nose. At this point he has two options, to keep backing up to get the treat of just sit down. Your puppy will discover that sitting down is easier and he gets the treat faster.

As soon as your dog sits down you say "sit" and give him the treat. The reward has to be given in the same moment as the dog does the right thing. This is a key factor to all training.

Be sure to praise your dog. The delight in your voice and your positive reaction to his behavior will inspire your pet to want to keep pleasing you. You will also be building a relationship of love and trust.

Keep working with your new puppy each day. When you think he has the command down then try standing up and giving the command. If he responds well give him praise. If your puppy doesn’t react then act like you don’t care. Never show disappointment when you are training. Positive reinforcement always works best. Eventually you want your dog to obey the command to sit without a treat as well.

The sit command is a pretty easy command for your puppy to learn. The next level in the “sit” training is to strengthen the word so you get your dog to sit in no matter what is going on around him. Training your dog is an ongoing process, much like teaching children, there is always more for them to learn. Use every new situation to continue to train him. Command him sit with new people, new dogs, and in new places. As your dog learns to sit on command, you can also teach him to sit down beside you.

It is actually quite easy to train your dog to obey the sit command. Puppies love attention which is what you will be giving him while training him. Be patient and you will receive your desired results as well as a new friend. Your puppy will enjoy the time you spend with him and will also want to please you. Continue to teach and train your puppy and strengthen the bond of trust between owner and pet.

Aggressive Dog Behavior - Preventing Unwanted Dog Urination

Sometimes dogs have problems with inappropriate urination. Though they may be completely housetrained they will still urinate where they know they shouldn’t. This can be attributed to aggressive dog behavior. Then again, there could be other reasons for this bad behavior. Often, most dog owners don't understand why this happens and they simply don’t know what to do. Instead of addressing the problem they take their dog to the pound. They assume there is no alternative because they cannot solve the problem.

First of all, understand that unwanted dog urination is a common problem. Don’t get rid of your pet before checking out all the possibilities. The first step is to eliminate any medical reason for the unwanted urination. Have your dog checked to see if he has a bladder infection, for instance.

Excitement is the most common cause for a dog to lose control of its bladder. However, this mostly occurs with puppies that haven’t learned control yet. As puppies get older the problem will generally stop. To reprimand them for doing this will cause the puppy to become confused or it could cause a bigger problem. Sometimes dogs if they are punished a lot will begin to urinate from submission and fear. This is a sign of insecurity in your dog and is very often associated with dogs that have been abused. Also urination can become a passive-aggressive dog behavior. Dog urination then becomes “an acting out” or struggle for power. You don’t want this to become the case.

If the dog is older you can prevent excitement urination by not allowing the dog to become overly excited. Socialization helps to prevent excitable circumstances. Expose your dog to new people, places, situations, and other dogs so that he will get used to it and the excitement will reduce.

Be kind and patient with your pet if he is having a problem with dog urination. Eliminate all possibilities by going to a vet, reading more on the subject, and paying attention to your dog’s demeanor. Avoid punishment so as not to cause aggressive dog behavior which can become a larger problem than just dog urination. Most of all love your pet. You can solve your dog training problems with the Sit Stay Fetch dog training course.

Facts about Willcare Labradors

If you have decided to have a Willcare Labrador as a pet, there are some things that you probably already know, but there might be some information that you haven't heard quite yet.

Willcare Labradors

Simply put, Willcare Labradors are wonderful dogs. They are friendly and very social, which are prominent characteristics of a Labrador. They are nearly always great with kids as well as with other pets. And because of this, you probably won't ever have to worry about your Willcare Labrador becoming a mean dog. However, this still all is based on how well you socialize your dog from the beginning. You need to remember that these dogs need to be socialized from the minute you bring them home. Keeping this in mind, you have a very good chance of doing it right. Taking your Willcare Labrador with you nearly everywhere you go, will help him to get used to being around strangers and strange noises. This is one major factor in properly socializing your Willcare Labrador. This will help you be very successful in the training of your Willcare Labrador.

Another thing that you should be careful about, in terms of your dog, is making sure that if you decide a Willcare Labrador is best for you, you have enough room for him. Labradors get big as full grown dogs, no matter how small and cute they are as puppies. A good way to see how big your dog will get is to look at his paws. If your Willcare Labrador's paws are large, he is going to get large. Look at the paws of the puppies in relation to each other, and you should get a good fell for how big the dogs will be in relation to their litter mates. Then, you can choose one that will be the size you want it to be. No matter what though, your Willcare Labrador is going to be big. So, you should always make sure that you have enough room for him to romp and play in. Remember that you will need to walk your Willcare Labrador each day, so make sure that this is something that your family can do, before you decide to get him.

Your Willcare Labrador will provide you with his entire lifetime full of happiness, as long as you remember that he has to be socialized and exercised each day. If you do these things for your dog, he is going to repay you in many different ways. Having Willcare Labradors is a great joy for many.

I had given up trying to train our rescue dog, but having read this I am going to give it another try.

My dog was too fierce to carry on going to our local dog training school. I was too worried he would bite me or the training assistants. No worries with this ebook course though.
