New Dog Training book - Full of Dog Training Advice

There are a huge number of people who, for one reason or another, have problems training their dogs. I receive emails all the time from people begging for dog training advice, for puppy training tips, how to house train a dog, etc. When I delve a little deeper, their problems invariably involve a general lack of communication with their dogs and puppies. Dogs are intelligent animals and can easily learn the meaning of many words, but the key word here is "learn". All too many people think that they only need to speak to their dogs and puppies to correct or chastise them. Wrong! My new dog training e-book—Dog Training 4 Life— explains how you should start talking to your dog or puppy immediately he or she enters the house. He will love it and he will quickly learn to pay attention and listen to what you are saying. Any verbal communication is great, but make sure to include certain relevant phrases in your conversations: "Do you need to go out?" "Would you like a treat?" "Shall we go for a ride?" "Fetch your ball!" Always use the same word or phrase every time. If necessary, first repeat the dog's name until you have his attention. It's important not to use words or phrases that sound alike because that will just confuse the dog. Also, when saying something that is of importance, speak slowly and clearly. My dog training e-book also explains the importance of your quickly establishing yourself as the pack leader or top dog. Never allow your dog to dictate any situation or push you to one side. When leaving the house to go for a walk you pass through the door first. In any play session always bring an extra toy and pick it up and put it away again when play is over. Allow your dog to lick you, lean on you and rub around you. A young puppy begins life by licking his mother's lips when asking for food, so when your dog licks you it's a sign of submission and affection. When your dog leans against you or rubs around you, it's his way of telling you that he depends upon you and is asking for your protection. If you react by coldly pushing him away, you will be sending him a very negative signal. Dog Training 4 Life is an e-book that is the result of my more than thirty years of experience in dog training. I was taught by the very best and I've added my own experience and methods to that teaching. There is no such thing as a bad dog, but there are far too many dogs that have received bad training, or no training at all. Dogs love to please their owners and when you approach their training the right way with lots of praise and positive reinforcement, plus clear indication of what is expected, your dog will be happy to respond positively. Another tip—if your young dog is bursting with energy and you have difficulty focusing his attention, take him for a good walk or engage him in a vigorous play session before moving on to any actual training. Also, keep training sessions short, but frequent; six ten minute training sessions will produce far better results than one long hour straight.
