Best Overall Dog Training Guide
Secrets To Dog Training
Average User Rating:  

I strongly recommend that you check out the Secrets TO Dog Training Guide. It is the most widely recommended in reviews. It's very comprehensive and you get the ebook and an audio version of it.

It covers everything you need to know about selecting a puppy or dog, caring for your dog, training your dog, dealing with any behavioral problems such as barking and biting. It's also the best value for money.

Clickertraining: The Four Secrets To Becoming A SuperTrainer
Average User Rating:

If you want to learn the clicker training method, this is the guide to buy. This particular method is mentioned in SitStayFetch but if you want the precise details on using this method, you will need this excellent guide.

It's written by Morten Egtvedt and Cecilie Koeste. It has sold more than 45,000 copies in Nordic countries where it is the number one clicker training guide.

Morten and Cecilie are a married couple who have 18 years of experience training search and rescue dogs. Morten is also a certified dog training instructor in the Norwegian army and has trained dogs approved for military service for thirteen year. You couldn't ask for better instructors.

Best Video Dog Training Guide
Dove Cresswell's Puppy and Dog Training Online
Average User Rating:

If you prefer to learn through video rather than wading through lots of text, this may be the best guide for you. Dove Cresswell is a professional animal trainer for film, television and commercials. She had worked with many dog breeds. She believes training should be fun and it shows in the videos.

It doesn't cover the range of material that SitStayFetch does but if you want a no-fluff series of videos that covers all the essentials of training, check this guide out. You'll find a free sample video on her website. An important point is that you hear exactly how the commands should sound.
