SitStayFetch - This is the
by far, the most comprehensive online
course on dog training that you'll find online, especially
if you choose to get their premium package. The creators
go through just about every imaginable dog lesson you
could think of, to make sure you know you're doing what's
best for the dog, and yourself. The package includes well
over 4 hours of DVD quality videos that
you can watch right on your computer straight from their
website. Here are just some of the many things that the
course covers:
- How you should control your dog's environment
and speak to him in a language they
will understand.
- Why you must become the alpha dog in your dog's
mind.
- What the different types of barking are and
what causes a dog to bark excessively.
- Learn how to get your dog to stop barking when
you are not home, in the car, when the doorbell rings or at
other dogs.
- Why you and anybody else who is with your dog
must be consistent in your training methods.
- The importance of the dog's socialization to
other people, animals, and its general
environment.
- Dealing with obsessive behaviors, canine
possession aggression and play biting.
- What to do if a dog growls at you

aggression

They really do an excellent job of putting this package
all together in an easy to follow format, that anybody can
grasp. They also give you a ton of other bonuses, like books on
dog grooming, security dog training, recipes for your dog,
etc... They even have software that you can download to your
computer which is like a little dog organizer. You can keep
track of when the dog needs to get its shots, vet appointments,
medical history, and much more. But what i think makes it
really the cream of the crop, is the fact that you get email
consultation, with its creator, Daniel Stevens and his staff.
So if you have any specific questions, you can get advice from
the real pros. In a nutshell, SitStayFetch delivers both in
quantity and in quality. Visit SitStayFetch Website.

Dove Cresswell Online Dog Training
Course - This is another great dog training
alternative. It doesn't have as much detailed information,
or as many goodies as SitStayFetch but it is still a
wonderful dog training course.
Dove Cresswell is a professional
Hollywood dog trainer. In fact, she has trained many of the
famous dogs that you see in both the movies and television.
The course itself comes with 7
Video lessons and 8 Audio Lessons, which cover subjects such
as:
- How To setup a potty training
schedule
- Learning the right and wrong ways to apply
positive reinforcement
- Choosing the right crate size for crate
training
- How your voice and body language are keys in
the dog training process
- How consistency is the only way to have your
dog properly trained
- Effective leash training techniques that
anybody can learn
- Learning Special Dog Tricks
I think the videos are excellent, and packed full of
useful information. She has an excellent teaching style. She
comes across as very likable, and you could tell she really
loves dogs. I think the audio lessons could have been a little
better, but its hard to nit pick when the videos are that good.

Instant Dog Training Videos -
Created by By Professional Dog Trainer Debbie Jeane. This is
kind of like a crash course in dog training. It doesn't pack
as much information as the previous dog training courses,
but it's definitely a good, solid course. Like the title,
would imply, all the training is done through video form,
and they cover such things as:
- Housebreaking your dog
- Jumping Up on People
- Control Dog Barking
- Putting your dog on a leash
- What to do when the dog doesn't come when he is
called
- Nipping and biting problems
- How to stop your dog from running
away
- Handle problems with digging
- Handling nervous or shy dogs
I personally found it to be a little pricey for the
content given, but all in all, you can't deny how informative
it is. She definitely tries to make the dog training process as
uncomplicated as possible, and succeeds. Visit Instant Dog Training Videos.

Puppy 'N Dog Training Secrets -
Created by Kevin Lynch, this course encompasses 9 video
lessons which can be downloaded right onto your computer. In
a strange twist, Kevin uses animation and cartoons as a way
to teach the material, instead of using real life examples.
It took me a while to get used to this, as I am so used to
seeing courses with real examples.
The course itself covers:
- Learning how to think like your
dog
- Always respecting the fact that your dog is a
pack animal
- Teaches why should always initiate
playtime
- How Dogs can learn through
association
- Why its important to control your dog's feeding
time
- How exercise is important to your dog's sleep
cycle
- Researching your dog's breed for its own unique
traits
He also has some nice goodies like e-books that offer a
ton of tips and tricks. He definitely gives a lot of value for
such a reasonably priced course. However, as much as I was
entertained by the animation in the course, it would have been
better to use real life examples. But that's just my opinion.

Dogsology Instant Expert Dog Training
Series - Somewhat similar to the Puppy N' Dog
Training Secrets Course, in that it uses animation to teach
its training methods. The one big difference, though is
that, it doesn't pack anywhere near as much information as
Kevin Lynch's course. The course goes over the basics
like:
- Basic dog obedience
- Potty training
- How to maintain discipline
- Teaching your dog how to play
fetch
But unfortunately it just doesn't delve that deep into it.
It is certainly serviceable, but definitely not spectacular.
