DIY Dog Training - The Review

The DIY Dog Training book is well put together, in an orderly manner, making it easy to find the answer to your particular dog problem. Instructions are clear, straightforward and easy to follow.

One of the strengths of this dog training book is teaching the pros and cons of the different dog and puppy potty training methods, so that dog owners can choose the one most appropriate for their circumstances.

The section on dog psychology is also crucial, as dog problems often stem from the owners not understanding how to convey the right message to the dog through their own body language.

Our reservations about this dog training course are twofold. First, it is disappointing to find that only three out of eight products are available at the Bronze level. Our second concern has to do with the free 12-month forum membership offered with the Silver and Gold packages. Though dog forums can be great places to communicate with other dog owners, they are often a source of well-intentioned but misguided and sometimes dangerous information.
