Guide Reviewed: Dove Cresswell's Puppy Training And Dog Training Online

Dove kindly gave me access to her guide so that I could review it. I have no doubt that whoever buys this video guide will be very satisfied. If you don't like wading through lots of text and like to get straight to the point, this guide will be ideal for you. The lessons are very practical and show exactly how to train your dog in the particular lesson's skill. You are in good hands with Dove. During the last five years, she has gained a reputation for herself training animals for films, television and commercials. She hasn't just trained many breeds of dogs but also other animals like large reptiles, birds, deer and rodents.

When you are using her lessons, she recommends you keep sessions short: fifteen to twenty-five minutes maximum. This keeps the dog's interest and energy levels high. Also, she recommends that you make the lesson fun!

You don't need any experience at all to follow her lessons. Everything is shown and explained from scratch. She has studied dog training under several top trainers and has incorporated the best of the best techniques into this course.

The advantage in an online video as opposed to a book is that you can hear exactly how Dove speaks to her dog. The tone of voice is very important and you are in no doubt after listening to and watching the lessons.

Where it's necessary, the lessons give you a couple of different ways to train a particular skill. For instance, in the first lesson, you can click on whether your dog is a toy breed or any other breed as some of the recommendations are different.

What I Particularly Like About It

I particularly like that this course is very practical and gets straight to the point showing you exactly what to do. When you first bring a puppy home, you are probably most interested in housebreaking your puppy. Watching the first two lessons on housebreaking and crate training will give you exactly the information you need to proceed with confidence.

If you want an idea of what the the course is like you'll find a free video on the website.
