DOG TRAINING

It's estimated that there are over 60 million dog owners in the U.S.  Most of them have come to realize that dogs don't come already programmed, without the need for dog training.  Just like children, pets need to be taught right from wrong; how to behave in certain situations.  This can be especially challenging since animals don't speak the same language as humans.

There are dozens of dog training resource materials available to you for purchase over the internet.  Some are built on a history of success, while others offer a single person's viewpoint.  All have one thing in common - they try to give you an effective way to communicate with your dog.

When looking at different dog training programs, there are certain factors you need to consider.  Some of these include:

•  Effectiveness.  Does the program carry through on its claims?  Is there a history of success in using the program?

•  Methods.  Are you comfortable with the training methods used?  Does it cover the specific training needs you require?

•  Cost.  Is the cost of the training reasonable for the value it provides?  Is there a refund available if you're not satisfied?

TopConsumerReviews.com has reviewed and ranked the best dog training programs available today.  We hope you find these reviews helpful in training your dog!

Sit Stay Fetch

5 stars

SIT STAY FETCH

This excellent e-book is worthy of its top 5 star rating and is a bargain at the price.  It covers everything a responsible dog owner should know about their dog and the four bonus books are icing on the cake. More...

Dove Cresswell's Dog Training Online

4.5 stars

DOVE CRESSWELL'S DOG TRAINING ONLINE

There are several benefits to this program, primarily the downloadable video format that allows you to hear the proper way to say a command and plenty of pictures showing proper posture.  For an example the last lesson is available free from the website and is great for showing the basic set up of the videos before you buy them.  More...

Dog Training Zone

4 stars

DOG TRAINING ZONE

This site offers a free 7-part email course of useful information.  This is a good program, but primarily for a dog that does not have major aggressive issues or other unusual problems.  More...

Dog Training Mastery

4 stars

DOG TRAINING MASTERY

This is a very good product, and covers a lot of areas. Including the bonuses it satisfactorily covers basic obedience training and dog care.  It only lacks some of the more advanced training of other programs and some of the polished expertise of the top picks.  More...

Puppy Wishes

3.5 stars

PUPPY WISHES

Two e-books are offered on this website The Puppy Prophecy ($29.99) and Dog Owners Anonymous ($39.95).  The website itself is also a wealth of interesting articles on dog training and other general information about dogs and man's history with them. More...

Dog Training Lessons

3 stars

DOG TRAINING LESSONS

Puppy n Dog Training Secrets

2.5 stars

PUPPY N DOG TRAINING SECRETS

Though effective, this program is not as extensive as the first two programs and is definitely more expensive.  A nice feature is Kevin Lynch's free email newsletter that covers some specific problems, but may not answer the question you need at the moment you need it.  More...

DIY Dog Training

2.5 stars

DIY DOG TRAINING

Good program and fairly comprehensive for potty and obedience training.  The price is a little steep considering the other programs in our review.  We also wish the author based her program on more hands-on training of dogs.  More...

Fido Problems

2 stars

FIDO PROBLEMS

This product is set up as a membership program.  You get access to the information on their website which is tightly locked otherwise.  There is no information to be found here with out a membership.  More...

How I Trained My Dog In One Evening

1 star

HOW I TRAINED MY DOG IN ONE EVENING

The claim to be able to train your dog in one evening is ridiculous.  Even if your dog is obedient that night it is consistency over time that really matters.  Also the website is authored by one person who used the book with no references to if it worked for others or not. More...
