Dog training is essential for a good relationship with your Sheltie |
I found the advice in this book very reliable and consistently gave me good results with Howard and Piper. It's written by a seasoned dog trainer, so all the training tips are tried and true, and come from Daniel Steven's real life experiences as a professional dog trainer. There is also a straight-talking, 30-minute downloadable video which provides examples of bad dog behavior along with easy solutions and remedies to fix them. This is a nice touch because you can see the training in action.
There is so much useful info packed into this guide - it answered every dog problem I had and then taught me about advanced dog training. If you don't need to be an expert, you can dip in and out of the sections that are currently affecting you and your Sheltie. The massive index hyperlinks to every section for quick access. As a brand new dog owner, Secrets to Dog Training will teach you:

Daniel Stevens explains exactly how to teach your dog all the simple commands (sit, okay, no, stay, down, drop, heel, stand, wait) and advanced commands (seek, beg, fetch, catch, climb, crawl, roll over). These are great for forging a stronger relationship with your Sheltie and allow him to flex his brain muscle a bit more.
The 30-minute video gives a great insight into your Sheltie's desire to test the boundaries and become the alpha dog - plus how you can prevent this unwanted behavior. From advice on housebreaking a puppy right through to leash pulling, the methods are so simple you can start using them with your Sheltie right away.
Secrets to Dog Training also provides a great intro to dog whispering; a method of dog training based on a philosophy of clear communication and mutual respect.
Dog whispering has been popularized in recent years by Cesar Millan and is now a well-known alternative and humane method for disciplining and training your dog. This book dedicates an entire section to dog whispering, explaining the background of the technique, how to use your voice and body language to your best advantage, and how to use the technique to effectively to train your Sheltie with ease. It also offers step-by-step dog whispering instructions for all the common commands (sit, down, come, stay, quiet) so you can discover this method in baby steps.
If you hadn't guessed by now, I really like this dog training book. A well-trained dog takes time and effort - and even intelligent dog breeds like Shetland Sheepdogs need to be taught the rules coherently before they can follow them.
Since reading Secrets to Dog Training, I've learned many simple solutions to common dog problems that used to drive me up the wall. For instance, do you know how to stop your Sheltie barking at every single noise outside? Or how to stop him tugging on the leash? Or how to stop him from showing aggression towards other dogs? Well, I do - but only since I got my hands on this book!
If you own a dog or a puppy who isn't already trained to an advanced level, then you can learn a lot from Secrets to Dog Training. You don't need to have a problem pet to justify putting more effort into your relationship with your dog. You just need to be a smart enough owner to understand the true benefits of good dog training. Life with a well-trained dog is so much more enjoyable and you'll reap the rewards for years to come. Try it yourself and see!
