Dog Training Video
Dog training videos are a fairly recent invention and are basically an audio visual presentation of the standard dog training book.
The advantage with a video is that you can see step by step how the training should be undertaken and also how the dogs in the video react to the dog training exercises. I personally prefer the dog training videos and DVDs as you can go through them in an evening and see the sections that you plan on using with your dog. Then I start the exercises with my dog the next day.
For me this is much easier than reading a book with lengthy descriptions about how to do a relatively simple task. To actually see a person with a dog going through the exercises and showing you exactly how to go about training your dog is extremely useful and easy to follow.
Another way to train your dog effectively is to go to group classes. This can be entertaining and you will be under the continual supervision of professional dog trainers each time you attend. The dogs will get used to being in an environment with other dogs and handlers and learning will become a lot easier for them as time goes on and more classes are attended.
The main disadvantage with these classes is that you can only undertake the exercises shown to you each week by the teacher. Some of the training will be assimilated by your dog in much less time and some will take the dog a lot longer to learn. The beauty with a dog training video is that you can move on whenever you and your dog are ready.
There are a lot of popular dog training videos and DVDs that can be purchased over the internet or in stores but a new concept in these videos is the downloadable version. These can be purchased on the web and can be downloaded immediately. These courses tend to contain more material than the regular dog training videos and will invariably come with a load of bonus products. They will also come with a 30 or 60 day guarantee so that is you are not satisfied with your purchase then you can return it and get your money back with no questions asked.
If you are seriously considering training your dog by using a dog training video ten you should also consider the possibility of using one of the downloadable dog training courses off the Internet.
