Raising your dog the right way
Communicating with a dog is a very complex thing and requires the right knowledge to properly raise one. As a professional dog trainer, I can tell you that many people will find themselves spending days, upon weeks, upon months trying to get their dog to stop doing X, when really it was as simple as training them in a language they understand. And that's what dog training is all about - teaching them right and wrong in a language they understand.
Dogs don't understand English, or any language for that matter, they have their own language and sense of understanding... one that it takes years of experience to properly understand and implement into your own training strategies.
But the general population doesn't have the time or the energy to truly learn and understand the way dogs do, which is why they must educate themselves elsewhere (books, etc.)... Or pay a guy like me a hefty sum of money to do it for them... but most people don't want to do that :)
On this blog, I will share my experiences, my knowledge, and do my best to educate you, the average person, on how to properly train your dog.
Until next time,

My favorite dog training books
Kingdom of Pets
My absolute favorite dog training book, written by a world renowned dog expert. I apply many of his techniques everyday to my dog training business.
Dog Food Secrets
Although not so much about dog training, with one of my dogs just recently passing away due to poisoning from dog food, this is an absolute MUST have for anyone who cares about their pet's health. The problem is more widespread than you would believe and its absolutely necessary to educate yourself now before it is too late.
Dove Cresswells Dog Training Online
Another one of my favorites... Just take a look at her sample dog lessons to see why I love this book and also use many of her techniques day to day. Also, I believe her book is on sale right now.
Until next time,

The importance of dog training.
Easily learn to train your dog at home even if you know how important dog training is to your dog, you may not always feel like it is practical. The first part of dog training is to teach your dog to sit. The next part of dog training is to teach your dog to stay. The world of pet training is diverse and complex, and many different training methods exist. My am is to point you in the right direction and avoid my mistakes in dog training.
The key to any goal is to just get started. Even if you’re wrong at least you’re starting to do something. Start out by keeping eye contact with the dog. Start a feeding and exercise schedule, and stick with it. If you are an inexperienced dog trainer, dog obedience may be a good start for you. I just didn’t have the schedule that allowed me to get dog training in. You can then go a step further and use hand signals to act as the commands. Keep looking and trying different dog training techniques until you find the one that works. The important part is just start something!
Pet education may be used to carry out many of your dog's fundamental needs like exercise and social interaction. Crate training is an important aspect in dog training. Crate training your dog is a crucial part of dog guidance and should be done with patience and care. Crate training a dog can be one of the most beneficial aspects of successful instruction. The crate should become a comfort zone, and should be used consistently when leaving or sleeping.
Dog training is the process of teaching a dog to exhibit certain desired behaviors in specific circumstances. Dog education is very important for many reasons. Proper dog training is one of the most important aspects of owning a well adjusted pet. The goal of dog training is to empower the owner with the skills. Good dog training will lead towards teamwork with their dog to resolve any current behavioral issues that exist today and the knowledge of what to do for any future challenges that may arise. Pet training is not a regulated industry and it's difficult to know which dog trainer to choose. I failed miserably at finding the correct dog training techniques. Read my blog and learn what works and what doesn't.Until next time,
