Dog Training Fundamentals

Do-it-yourself dog training, for less than the cost of a bag of treats! Learn how to teach your dog obedience commands without paying for an expensive class.

How it works
Each of these skills is broken down into simple steps, explaining exactly how to get your dog to understand what you are asking. You will also find videos demonstrating each of the exercises, so you can follow along as you practice. Each exercise builds on the last, so your dog learns in steps which make sense, and you both enjoy the process along the way. By the end of training you will have a dog who is the envy of your friends and family, and you’ll feel so good you may decide to teach your dog more on your own!
