Dog Training Ebook Review – SitStayFetch (Secret to Dog Training)

We own and breed Staffordshire Bull Terriers and with a total of 5 dogs in what is a VERY small house, you might imagine that we have always been interested in dog training and dog training methods.

So being a Dog-lover I first came across SitStayFetch while browsing on Clickbank and SitStayFetch appeared to dominate the Clickbank Dog Training section! Its only major competition was from Dove Cresswell’s Dog Training Online – another quality dog training system, but Dove Cresswell’s system only had 30% of the Clickbank popularity!

And SitStayFetch is jam-packed with dog obedience training information, including how to solve over 25 dog behavior problems, real-life case studies, the best dog training techniques, an email consultation with the SitStayFetch team, and loads of photos that will help boost your learning

For the quite reasonable outlay SitStayFetch totally over-delivers with Bonuses! SitStayFetch extras include:

Bonus – SitStayFetch Audio Book

Bonus – A Quick Guide to Dog Aggression

Bonus – All The House Training Methods & Tricks

Bonus – Dog Grooming Made Easy

Bonus – Tips On Security Training Your Dog

Bonus – Secrets To Becoming The Alpha Dog

Bonus – Private Email Consultation to Help You

Resolve Your Specific Dog Problems

Do you have a generally disobedient dog?

Does your dog embarrass you in public?

Are you sick of excessive biting, barking, whining, etc?

Are you sick of dealing with dog aggression issues?

Do you want to know how to fix virtually any dog training or behavior problem?

Or, perhaps you just want the best relationship that you can possibly have with your dog…

SitStayFetch covers dog obedience training fully and even answers your dog training questions, covering specific dog behaviour issues, like how to deal with a dog eating poop or digging or a dog that is scared of the leash and much more! And SitStayFetch goes way beyond basic dog training:

How To Stop Your Dog From Digging Holes In Your Garden

By
26
Feb 2010
training lazy dogs
Guess what? My new dog Forbes started digging holes in my rose garden!

As the owner of the web site Dogproblems.com (as well as the Southern California dog training company South Bay K-9 Academy for six years) I’m going to let you peek into my world and learn how a professional dog trainer solves this type of behavior problem.

First, I need to figure out when he is digging. Since I know the dog and his lifestyle, I can rule out several factors such as boredom or puppyhood or gophers, etc…

I noticed that every time he would start digging holes he was in the yard playing with a friend’s dog, unsupervised.

So, I first need to MAKE SURE that it was ACTUALLY MY DOG that was the perpetrator. A quick look at his feet would suggest that it was.

Next, I needed to figure out if he would dig ANY TIME he was left alone in the yard or if it was only when another dog was present.

To figure this out, I simply left the dog in the yard alone with access to the rose garden several times… and came back to find that he had not dug.

So… it stands to reason that the only time my dog is digging in the yard is when there is another dog in the yard. (Who knows why? There could be a million unexplained reasons that only the dog knows. All I need in order to fix the behavior is knowledge of the dog and the circumstances).

Now, I know that to fix any behavior problem I need to make the dog experience a NEGATIVE ASSOCIATION with the actual ACT of doing that behavior. In this case, digging in the garden.

And he needs to experience that same negative association EVERY TIME HE DIGS!

In this case, I must be 100% diligent to never leave Forbes unsupervised in the yard when there is another dog in the yard.

Of course, if he was digging by himself, then I’d need to confine him to a kennel run where he cannot dig when I’m not supervising him. Or if there is another dog visiting then I will need to bring Forbes inside, put him in the kennel run, or use the presence of the other dog as a “set up.”

The next step is to make sure that he associates that negative (correction) just as he starts to dig.

There are two ways I can do this: The Lazy Man’s Way and the Old Fashioned Way. Both methods are based on the same principle.

The Old Fashioned Way to make sure that the dog gets a motivational negative association when he digs is to:

Step 1.) Leave a pinch collar and tab (one foot leash) on the dog when he’s outside in the yard with another dog.

Step 2.) Bury hardware mesh or chicken wire in the spot where he’s been digging. The chicken wire should be buried two to three inches below the surface. Dogs don’t like scraping their paws against this stuff. So, right off the bat you’ve got an immediate negative association.

Step 3.) Spy on him and just wait until he start to dig.

Step 4.) As soon as he begins to dig, yell “No No No!” as you run outside and give the dog a correction. As long as you continue to say “No no no” as you run to the dog, the dog WILL still associate the correction with the behavior.

Step 5.) Be 100% consistent until you are 100% sure that the dog isn’t digging any more.

The Lazy Man’s Way to fix this problem behavior is to use a remote electronic collar (e-collar). Everything else remains the same. (Click on the link above to read about my recommendations for buying a remote electronic training collar).

When using the e-collar for this behavior, I’d turn the setting up to the high level. Your goal is to create absolute avoidance to this behavior (digging in the garden). And you want him to think that the dirt just jumped up and bit him! Usually if you correct the dog with the electronic collar for this type of behavior, you’ve only got to do it twice before the dog decides that it’s in his best interest to leave your garden alone.

That’s all for now, folks!

How To Be Come A Professional Dog Trainer

By

Jan 2010
private dog training
Do you feel you should take a dog training course? Well, who certifies dog trainers? Nobody, officially; this is an unregulated field. At this time, the only credible organization certifying trainers is the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors (NADOI). NADOI has an extensive evaluation process, and only certifies experienced trainers. A NADOI certification is a definite feather in your cap, but that option isn’t available to new instructors.

At this time, NADOI and the APDT are the only organizations recognized by professional trainers and veterinarians.

What qualities do you need in order to be a good trainer? First of all, you should be aware that your primary job will not involve training dogs; it will involve training people! Most of your time will be spent teaching the owner how to train his or her dog. Good communication and people skills are a top priority. You will need a great deal of flexibility, as well as the ability to see other people’s point of view.

Accredited colleges do not offer dog training programs. Most colleges do offer some courses which would be beneficial as background information, such as Psychology of Learning or similar classes dealing with applied learning theory.

There are several private dog training academies throughout the country, most not worth the price of attendance. Remember, NADOI and the APDT are the only “certification” entities recognized by trainers and veterinarians in the US, so an individual school’s “Master Trainer” or “Certified Trainer” title may wow your future students, but is a rather meaningless accolade.

If you should decide to go to a training school, avoid the ones boasting that they can teach you everything about all aspects of dog training in one course. Each field of dog training is its own separate field of expertise, and it takes years to become expert in any ONE area. “Learn obedience training, behavior problem solving, personal protection training, police dog training, tracking, search and rescue, assistance dog training, and how to run your own business in just six weeks,” is not a realistic claim. There are no “secrets of professional dog trainers.”

Another problem with most training schools is that they tend to teach only one “method.” There is no one training method you can learn that will work on all dogs in all situations, or even come close. In order to be a good trainer, you have to know many, many training methods, and preferably know enough about canine behavior and how dogs learn to make up your own methods to fit a given situation.

And, just as anyone can call themselves a dog trainer, anyone can run a school for dog trainers. Buyer beware!
