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.

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.
