 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
- What to do about territorial aggression
- Crate training your dog
- The Direct Method of House Training
- A TON of real life examples
- And Much More
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. Visit Dove
Creswell's Online Dog Training Course.

 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. Visit Puppy 'N Dog Training Secrets.

 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. Visit the Dogsology website.
