Summary: Since dogs are inherently wild animals they need some sort of obedience training to become accustomed to their surroundings, the rules of your home and your family. The most difficult part of this process is communicating with your dog in a civil, non-violent way that lets it know that you are boss and that this is the rule. By praising positive behavior and correcting negative behavior you are able to show your dog what is acceptable and what is not in a loving way that does not make them fear you. This creates a relationship between you and your dog that is based on love and not temperament.

This video series will present you lots of tips, information and techniques to help you train your dog to recognize their name, to sit and to lay down. You will learn how positive reinforcement is more effective than physical punishment, and that the best way to correct your dog is to get it accustomed to the world and the distractions in it.
