Dog Training Fundamentals - Overview

 

This website provides free information on dog training. Yes, I am not going to try to sell you videos or books right before it gets interesting. I have tried to provide short video tutorials for each lesson. You can find an overview of these tutorials here.

 

As I have pointed out on the introductory page, this website is all about motivational and positive training methods. If you don't exactly know what that means, you may want to take a look at the dog training fundamentals in chapters 1 to 12 listed below. After reading through those, you should have a good understanding on how to approach your training. There are many ways, but they are not all equal!

 

If you are experienced - you still may want to take a look and refresh your memory, especially if you have used a pinch collar as an essential training accessory in the past...

I believe it is always better to know too much about the subject of dog training before you start than not enough. Last but not least, it's free…. So hey, why not?

 

This section is organized by chapter. You can find an overview of all chapters below. To simplify navigation, I have included page navigation links at the bottom of each page. I highly recommend that you read the entire introduction before you start with any practical training.
