Review of Secrets to Dog Training

The official release of the new and improved SitStayFetch - renamed Secrets to Dog Training - took place on February 2, 2009. SitStayFetch has been the top selling dog training course for over four years, and it has been bought by over 64,000 dog owners world-wide. Having reviewed it in great detail, I can fully understand why it continues to hold the top spot in the dog training arena. Secrets to Dog Training is a new and improved version!

Secrets to Dog Training is authored by Daniel Stevens, the highly respected and renowned dog trainer, and it includes everything that needs to be known about dog ownership. This 261-page guide gives dog owners step-by-step and easy to follow instructions which will help them to understand and quickly solve their dog's behavior problems. It's also full of great pictures!


All of the training methods described in the book are tried and true, having been used by Daniel Stevens in his own life as a professional dog trainer.

This course is so comprehensive that the table of contents takes up five pages just to list everything that is included. This guide is much more that a dog training e-book, although it is worth buying just for that section. It starts with a chapter for new dog owners (how to choose the right puppy or dog for you, where to find your puppy, breed information, vaccinations and general health, diet and nutrition, puppy-proofing your house, handling and grooming, house training, choosing your vet, etc. Listing these few topics will give you some insight into the vast amount of information that is covered.

The guide includes recommendations for a number of different training techniques such as clicker training, head collar training, and dog whispering, to mention just a few. Next, the more advanced dog behavior issues such as chewing, biting, aggression, digging, jumping, etc. are covered. This section offers several case studies which are both interesting and informative. A good story is loved by everyone!

There is also an excellent section on understanding your dog and the importance of the dog owner being seen as the "alpha dog". This chapter also covers dog body language, facial expressions and vocals. The sections on obedience training are very clearly explained and are aided by photographs, which show the various commands and positions in great detail.

This is just a small amount of what is covered but I'm sure you'll agree that it's an impressive amount of information.

You've probably already gathered that I'm impressed. I may have thought I knew dogs before, but this guide has made me realize that I still had a lot to learn.

The detailed information covered is easy to comprehend and extremely effective. This guide is useful to all dog owners, not just those with a particular problem with their dog. Much of the information in the course would be of benefit to any dog owner wanting to have the best possible relationship with his dog.

I strongly urge you to get hold of a copy of Secrets to Dog Training if you already have a dog or are contemplating getting one.
