We found some excellent dog training sites
that offer e-books and audio books on obedience training
and others that specialize in puppy
potty training. The advantage is you can download these
dog training books instantly to your computer so you get immediate
access and start training your dog right away.
Most of these training guides focus on
Clicker training, which is a fun, easy, cheap way to train
your dog without using choke chains or a harsh voice. It focuses
on obedience skill using a conditioned reinforcer (clicker)
and positive reinforcement (a yummy treat).
Top Dog Obedience Training Sites

training sites. Our selections are based on the qualifications
of the trainers, the user-friendliness and practicality of
the dog training course, whether the training is easy to understand
versus too technical, that the dog training uses non-threatening,

the cost.

This training course, by Dean Rankin, differs
from the others in that it is an audio format. Some people
prefer to get their information by sitting back and listening
rather than reading a book. The course is approx. 1 hour 45
minutes divided into 13 segments. While not quite as comprehensive
as the e-books above, this course, as the others do, advocates
training your dog "without hitting, yelling or punishing"
him.
Subjects covered include:
Training your dog quickly by using his
natural instinct to obey you
Using treats the right way
Getting get your dog to walk by your
side on a leash
Best way to communicate with your dog
House training
Eliminate bad behaviors like barking,
chewing, digging, nipping and jumping
Maintaining the training long-term,
i.e., how to make your dog's training "stick"
Bonuses:

A Happy And Healthy Dog

Why buy this course? There is a 100%
satisfaction guarantee. The audio format appeals to people
who find it a chore to read through a dog training book and
you get instant access to it over the Internet.

"regular" books, go to our dog
training book page.
