Dog training videos/DVDs/books, a course of dog training classes or if you can afford between $60-$100 dollars an hour, you can engage the services of a personal professional dog trainer. These are the varied options available for training your dog.I had already ruled out the last option due to cost - if I had the money I would have chosen ten sessions with Cesar Milan, the Dog Whisperer, although I probably would have had to wait behind all the celebrities queueing to have their pooches trained with Cesar!I would have liked as a first choice to buy all the Cesar Milan dog training videos, or sign up for his online training sessions which work with audio books and DVDs but just the collar you need for the training he teaches is $40 and then $26 per month for the online sessions or buying 6-8 dog training videos at around $15 each, so all in all quite expensive running into over $140 or so but good value I think.Dog training DVD courses have been proven to work better than just reading a book because you can actually observe the dog trainer in action, hearing how the voice is used to give commands and secondly seeing the body language which should be used. Your dog watches you all...more

Exercise is important to raise a healthy dog and taking walks is an important way to obtain it, but they cannot do this safely when not confined to a leash. In order to achieve the best results in training, it should be started early when teaching puppies and this includes teaching them everything. Leash training your puppy is important to allow them to experience the world, obtain exercise and do it in a safe manner.When beginning, it is best not to use a collar because it may result in an injury to your dog. For smaller dogs using a harness is most often preferred at all times and of benefit in early training. Puppies will also benefit by using a harness because they must learn not to pull until they become accustomed to the feeling of one.A retractable leash is best used for a dog that is already trained and the leash used should be comfortable to the owner and provide a degree of control. For a few minutes each day, supervise the puppy on the leash inside so that they become accustomed to your connecting it and the feel that it has. It would not be uncommon for them to play with it and even chew it and do not worry about that.After they have become familiar with their leash,...more
