As someone who recently had the privilege of bringing home a new puppy, I know how much work training can be. Of course, the love and devotion a dog gives is well worth every minute, but I did find that there is a lot of conflicting information out there on how to go about training your dog. It sure did take me awhile to separate the good from the bad.

If you’re interested in dog obedience training, I would recommend checking out the perfectdogtraining.com website. The website provides a wealth of information on both understanding dog behavior, as well as how to go about training your pooch. It’s a very good read, as its seems that most people believe their dogs think just like humans and that’s not the case. Dogs see things their own way, and consider their human family their pack. The website elaborates on this and explains why we need to consider these pack elements when training a dog.

One portion of the website that I particularly enjoy is the “ask the trainer” section. It’s very interesting as you get to read about the issues others have had with their dogs, and then read the suggested solution. Also, if you have a problem yourself you can write in to “ask the trainer.” It’s truly a great website for anyone who owns a dog.
