How To Train Your Dog Without Stress (Almost)

By David "Jack" Russell

Start NOW and discover how to quickly and easily train your dog using simple science and a step-by-step system that will produce successful results that your dog will love, and you will too!

How you can train your dog, young or old, Yorkshire Terrier or Wolfhound... and get astonishing results.
Your starting point is not important, what is important is that you start NOW.
You may have just collected your new pup and you know that good habits should start early.
Maybe you are extra smart and you are finding out about training before you get your dog.
Or maybe, you've had your dog for a while now and are finding it barks quite a lot, it jumps up on your friends or runs off when you go out with it.
And however hard you try, all efforts to ‘control’ it – and however loud you shout, achieve nothing! Basically, your dog is doing its own thing and you’re seemingly unable to do anything to change it.
Do any of these situations ring true for you?
Of course, I could have added other issues here, but at least you get the idea. One dog that’s getting out of control and it’s starting to almost drive you crazy!
Are you just a tiny bit frustrated with all this, and just wish you could train your dog to do what you want it to do for a change?
Well, I have the news you've been waiting for...
But first, let me explain why you should listen to me...
I am addicted to dogs! It’s a joy to have well trained dogs and I've had them for some 28 years now. And yes, my dogs (I have 5 at the moment) are well trained.
But... it wasn't always this way that's for sure! In truth, I admit that in the beginning I wasn't good at training dogs – so I know the frustrations of out-of-control dogs!
When I started I tried all sorts of tricks and techniques, initially with no lasting success. And at that time there were no fancy video-training guides - and pretty and as nice as some of them are, they wouldn't have made a scrap of difference...
Why?
Because those I've seen don’t get to the heart and mind of the really essential scientific issues about dog training. And what’s more the ‘tricks’ we see look to me as if they are being performed by already well trained dogs. What use is that to you?
So watching dog training videos isn't the answer, so what is?
In a nutshell, I have distilled relevant research and my own practical learning into a simple, yet effective step-by-step dog training system that your dog will thrive on... and you will too!
Introducing the ‘Dog Training Without Stress’ Simple Science Step-by-Step System to Train YOUR Dog – Whatever Kind You Own!
In this system, I reveal EXACTLY how you can successful train your dog. Period!
Take a look at what this system includes:
The fundamental fact that you must know about your dog and how it will dramatically lead to your dog training success.
How getting into the mind of your dog will change the ways you train it, and bring you results more quickly.
Appreciate and apply reinforcement strategies in dog training... but get this wrong and you could undo all your good work to date.
How to effectively deal with such issues as: uncontrolled barking, jumping up, food stealing, pulling on the lead, and chasing – whether planes, trains, sheep or starlings!
Discover and apply mirroring and low-key behavior strategies to ensure a stress-free dog (and owner!)
How to avoid your training being inadvertently sabotaged in an instant – know this simple strategy and your progress will be swift.
Body language and you. Understanding how your dog reacts to your body language will dramatically impact on your dog training success.
Discover the importance of timing in the training of your dog. Getting the timing wrong is precisely why so many dog owners training attempts either fail or take much longer than they should.
The Golden Rules that will make the difference to your dog training strategies and ensure y

About the Author

INTRODUCTION

Don’t accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. Ann Landers

Do you wish you could solve all your dog training problems?

Do you sometimes wish that you had bought a fish?

Then this is the book for you.

With this book you can solve all of the problems associated with dogs and dog training. You will learn not only how to communicate with your dog but why so many attempts at dog training fail.

You may be surprised to hear that dog training is not difficult although quite a lot of people would like you to think so.

You will have noticed that the title of the book mentions lack of stress – almost. I believe there will always be a little stress, not for the dog but for the human part of the equation and I believe that is there because we do want to succeed, we care.

To me that is a good thing

I have believed for a long time that what really gets in the way of dog training is the attitude that we have to our dogs. If we make an effort to see things from their perspective then we will find that the training becomes very easy. You will have to give up some pre-conceived ideas but if you take the time to read this book you will find the dog training process interesting and fulfilling. At the end of the book there is a request that you tell me about your dog training experiences and just what you thought of the book.

I will not bombard you with videos of dogs being trained and you will not be given pages of rubbish to wade through to get to the help you need.

Just remember dog training is not difficult.

Although this is probably the only dog training book you need to buy I sincerely hope that you will buy others, simply because you will have become hooked on a fascinating subject.

Owning a dog is a pleasure that can be hugely increased by spending a few minutes two or three times a day doing simple training. Nothing complicated - just basics.

You will benefit from having a happier and more contented dog and also a happier and more contented you.

Everyone knows that dogs need exercise, physical exercise that is, but not everyone understands that they also desperately need mental exercise!

Obviously this is canine mental exercise, that is to say we don’t expect the dog to want to start learning chess but imagine if you can just what your life would be like without any mental stimulation - you would quickly go mad!

First you should consider the position of the dog in your life because no matter how much you think of your dog he is not your whole life!

Your dog is certainly a part of your life, and an important one but you also have work, family and hobbies, you watch TV, you browse the web, you read, you play or watch sports.

And what does your dog have?

Your dog has YOU.

In his life you are huge, and he looks to you for everything, food, shelter, physical and mental exercise, and companionship. The simple training methods we discuss in this book can provide the mental exercise your dog so badly needs, bonding which will benefit you both and almost as a byproduct deliver a well-trained dog.

So let’s look at the benefits that you will gain from this book –

You will find better and clearer ways to communicate with your dog

This will make the training process not only easier but fun for both you and your dog.

You will gain a clearer idea of how your dog actually learns

Once you know how to tap into this you can teach your dog anything, well almost anything.

It is actually surprising just how many things a dog can be trained to do. Outstanding examples are the dogs which we now use as eyes and ears for the blind and deaf, the dogs which can warn of an impending attack of epilepsy, the amazing dogs that work tirelessly with our armed forces and police.

You will gain these benefits no matter what training method you use and no
