 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.
