Secrets to Dog Training

Secrets to Dog Training (formerly SitStayFetch) has been revamped and was officially launched on February 2, 2009. SitStayFetch has been the top selling dog training course for over four years, and it has been bought by over 217,000 dog owners world-wide.

Upon research of the product, I understood why it outsold all other dog training guides on the internet! In fact, it is even bigger now as it includes a 30-minute downloadable video! Written by highly experienced and well-known dog trainer, Daniel Stevens, Secrets to Dog Training is a thorough course, which covers all aspects of dog ownership.

Even though the 261-page manual is expertly detailed, its step-by-step format provides dog owners with straight-forward instructions on how to quickly identify and solve their dog behavior problems. It's also full of first-class pictures!

All of the training techniques described in the book are time-tested, having been used by Daniel Stevens in his own life as a professional dog trainer.

So What's Included?

The table of contents is five pages long which gives you an idea of the generous amount of material that is packed into this course. The book is much more than just another dog training guide, despite the fact it would be worth buying for that section alone.

It begins with a chapter for new dog owners (how to choose the right puppy or dog for you, where to get wind of your puppy, breed information, vaccinations & general health, diet & nutrition, puppy-proofing your house, handling & grooming, house training, choosing your vet, etc.). These are just some of the subjects covered to give you an idea of the broad range of information.

The book provides overviews and recommendations for several different training techniques including dog whispering, clicker training, head collar training, and crate training, to name just a few. It then moves on to the more radical topic of how to solve common behavior problems such as aggression, biting, chewing, jumping, digging, barking, etc. This chapter includes several case studies which I thought were particularly informative and intriguing. We all appreciate a good story!

There is also an exceptional section on understanding your dog and the emphasis of the dog owner being seen as the "alpha dog". This chapter also covers dog body language, facial expressions and vocals. The sections on obedience training are clearly explained with spiffy photographs, showing various commands and positions in fantastic detail. This is just a sample of what's included and I'm certain you'll agree that it's an incredible amount of information.

What I Particularly Liked

Prior to taking an in-depth look at the course, I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. The quality and quantity of information offered for such a low price was amazing. It's being offered at the low price of only $39.95, which is incredible value for a guide of this standing. A premium version of this first-class guide is also attainable. It contains over 5 hours of downloadable dog training video files, 6 dog training eBooks, the Secrets to Dog Training Audio and much more.

I'm sold with the easy to recognize language used in this book. Also, the book is divided into small sections which amplified my reading experience and made the course very easy to follow and identify with. There's nothing more devastating than being presented with a wall of text! I was happy to see that Secrets to Dog Training provides instructions for dogs of all ages in obedience training and problem behaviors. So many dog trainers focus on puppies but training and behavior problems don't necessarily end once a dog reaches adulthood.

As well, I appreciated the fact that the Secrets to Dog Training team offers unlimited free consultations to anyone who buys the course. The team will provide you with individual attention for your particular dog issue just by sending them an e-mail. You'll receive a response full of practical tips and expert advice. Secrets to Dog Training offers a 60-day money back guarantee so you can't lose.

Free Bonuses

Ok, I know I've previously mentioned that the Secrets of Dog Training course is super value; however, there's even more being offered! After your purchase, you will also receive an audio book and five additional e-books covering dog aggression, house training, dog grooming, security training, and secrets to becoming the alpha dog. A new and astonishing bonus being included with Secrets of Dog Training is a 30-minute downloadable video, which shows effective techniques to solve those annoying dog obedience issues. It is presented by Dave Johnson, the extremely popular dog care professional, who makes it all seem so easy!

Conclusions
You're probably convinced that I'm impressed. I thought I understood dogs before, but this course has shown me just how little I knew. The material offered is all-inclusive, methodical yet easy to understand, and highly practical. Your dog doesn't need to have behavior or obedience issues in order for this book to be useful to you. Most of the information in the course would be of gain to any dog owner wanting to have the best possible relationship with his dog. If you currently own a dog or puppy, or are thinking about owning one, I strongly recommend that you get your hands on a copy of Secrets to Dog Training.
