Originally published here: Puppy Training Video
Have you ever read a book or instruction manual and been left with no idea of what you are supposed to do? This is common because either it is hard to picture the actions you are supposed to complete or the instructions are not written clearly enough. Whatever the case, it can be a problem when you are trying to train your dog. Many people learn well by watching a demonstration, which is why puppy training videos may be your answer.
There are several options available to new dog owners who want to start training their lovable bundles of energy before they turn into hulking masses of misbehaved dog. You can take private or group classes; this is great for several reasons. One, you have a professional trainer who can help with common puppy training issues. Two, in a class, your puppy will have the chance to learn how to interact with other dogs. Three, you can get feedback and specific information from the instructors.
There are drawbacks, however. Classes can be expensive, especially if you choose to do individual lessons. There may not be classes available in your particular area, or you may not find one with instructors who use the training methods you want. You may have already taken training classes with your puppy and just need help in a specific area or need a little refresher course. If you find yourself in any of these positions, puppy training videos are a perfect solution.
What can a puppy training video offer? That, of course, depends on the video. You should look for a video that covers the following: housetraining, crate training basics, how to curb behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, jumping, straining at the leash, and simple commands like Sit, Stay, and Lie Down.
The benefit is that you’ll be able to watch someone performing the various trainings so you can get an idea of what it looks like. For instance, if you are trying to teach your dog to heel, you may be unintentionally sabotaging your efforts. Watching the video, you’ll notice that when the trainer gives the “Heel” command, he slackens the leash. That may be the key to your success. Just watching someone successfully train puppies can give you ideas and encouragement.
Training your new puppy takes effort and time. Fortunately, there are at-home puppy training video programs, like Puppy Training by Dove Cresswell, available to help you. Be sure to check out the free video lesson on her website.
