Good Dog Training Books, Videos, Sites?
by Author on Saturday, November 20th, 2010 | 3 Comments
I recently rescued an 11month old dog and I'd like to train it well. Unfortunately, I just don't have the money to invest into obedience classes. I'd like to know of any good books, videos, or sites that can help.... She's already housebroken, knows to sit, and crate trained... What I'd like to be able to focus on are:
- Staying near by when off leash
- Lay Down
- Remaining calm around new people and other dogs

One of the best books I’ve read (and I’ve read dog books for many, many years) is by Brenda Aloff called "Get Connected With your Dog". It comes with a DVD so you can see everything you’re reading. She teaches a lot of important stuff – among them is teaching your dog how to be calm around all kinds of distractions – new people and other dogs.
This is probably the best all-around book you can get for your money.
There are gazillions of dog training books!
There also also a few sites:
http://Dogtrainerweekly.webs.com
that site has good info
and it’s parterning site (it’s old site) has more tricks on it but is still running.
http://Dogtrainingtipsandtricks.yolasite.com
They both are almost the same. except dogtrainer is updtated and dogtraining has more tricks.
Also DogTricks101 by Kyra Sundance is a good book
The library might be a good place to be able to compare different dog training books.
There are different training methods out there and you need to find one that suits you and your dog.
The number one rule is you need to be consistent with whatever method you choose.Also you don’t just train your dog, dog training has to be an ongoing part of your dogs life.
Dogs need to continue to practise their obedience training.Dogs love to please you and training sessions keep your dog from being bored and are great times of bonding between you.
The one training site online that has had long term popularity, good customer reviews and offers lots of bonuses is
