Can You Learn From A Dog Training DVD?

By Brad Davenport

If you've discovered that your perfect pooch has a real problem that you can't deal with, then you're going to need professional help. Should you take them to a trainer? Is a dog training DVD a good way to learn? You need to decide what is best for you and the dog.

Dog trainers are great, when they know their material. But how do you know if they do? You can research and try to find out by their website. Or you can go to class and take a chance. But look forward to paying for the personalized treatment, because a good trainer will not be cheap.

The other main reason is simple: convenience. In our fast paced lives it's hard enough getting ourselves and the kids to scheduled events, without adding Rover to the list. And if you did find someone to teach your dog, you are on their schedule. If something coincides with a class, they will go on without you. Not to mention, the hassle of loading the dog, unloading the dog, and after class, doing it all over again. When you add the time, fuel, and hassle factor it isn't that appealing.

Another great thing about doing your dog training by DVD is that it will save you time and money. As far as time goes, you won't have to drive back and forth to see a dog trainer and spend hours of your time away from home. It will save you money because you won't have to pay for private trainer to help you with your dog.

The great thing about training with a DVD is it's on your time. If you get interrupted, you can stop and pick it up later. Plus, you get to exercise the great rewind button if you need to. In fact, you can rewind as many times as you need to, no matter how long it takes. And if your dog starts acting up, or frustration set in, for either of you, you have the luxury of stopping until it's a better time.

So, if you want to know if a dog training DVD a good way to learn, it really depends on what you consider a good use of your time. You can either spend it carting your canine back and forth to class, or you spend that time more wisely in the comfort of your own home. - 32366
