Dog Training Secrets

This is the final of the top three e-books. It is also very comprehensive, well organized, and easy to read. The author has a very friendly style and he starts off telling you about how great his dog is, with the purpose of making you jealous. This book has an expanded section on training an adult dog that may be useful to many dog owners. The book also includes a section on keeping your dog mentally sharp with games, tricks and teasers. The author takes the "holistic" approach to dog training, looking at the well being of your dog and the role that training plays in the well being of the dog. This book is suitable for any dog owner. I particularly recommend this book if you have an older dog.

The seven "extras" included are:

What To and What Not To Feed your Dog e-book
Doggy Mind Teasers e-book
Weather Tips for You and Your Dog e-book
Electronic Training Solutions e-book
Introduction to Clicker Training e-book
Doggy Recipes e-book
A collection of 9 Articles on Dog Training

The Book

This book is easy to read like Sit Stay Fetch. It is well organized, so it is easy to find your way around. It contains a good section on understanding your dog from the dog's perspective and being able to read the dog's behavior. All this is covered before he gets into any of the training issues. This book is also the longest of the top three, being 215 pages long. Of the top three books, this one probably covers more in the area of training an adult dog. So, if you are planning to train an older dog, this is probably your best choice.

Of the three major "complete training" books reviewed on this site, this one has the best coverage of the dog toilet training issue among those three. See the Toilet Training Rating Scale for all the books.
