Dog Training
Book Review
Sit
Stay Fetch
- The Fastest Way To An Obedient Dog
Sit Stay Fetch
offers a very detailed and comprehensive look at how to avert and deal
with common behavioral problems displayed by dogs. I am the owner of a
reasonably difficult mutt and I’ve spent a lot of time
searching the
Net for dependable resources about dog training. Based on my research,
I have to say that the extent of information and detail contained in
this compendium is abnormally accurate for an online book.
On top of that, the
information is in fact
reliable (gasp!). Yes,
reliable information in this type of medium. That’s right,
this one’s a
whole new kettle of fish. It was written by an experienced dog trainer,
so you can relax in knowing that all the tips and advice included in
this online book are tried, tested and true. They all come from Mr.
Stevens’ real-life experiences as a professional dog trainer.
What’s Included?
The range of information
contained in this guide
is quite
remarkable. The book covers a lot more than problem behaviors. it
starts off with new-owner advice (how to choose a puppy or dog, the
best places to buy a dog from, breed information, how to
puppy/dog-proof your home, the first veterinarian visit, house
training, etc.) and then moves on to more advanced information such as
behavioral problems (e.g., aggression, dominance, excessive barking,
chewing, digging, separation anxiety, etc.), intermediate-level
obedience commands, health-related problems (allergies, cat and dog
coexistence, fleas, heatstroke, etc.), and advanced commands and tricks.
Some Especially Good Parts
On top of what I listed
above, the book also
contains a pretty
impressive section on dog whispering, which is a method of dog training
based on a philosophy of clear communication and mutual respect. Cesar
Millan has popularized this training method in recent years
(“The Dog
Whisperer”) and it is becoming increasingly popular as an
alternative
and humane method for disciplining and training dogs.
Sit Stay Fetch
includes an entire section on dog whispering. In this section, Daniel
Stevens talks about the story behind the technique, he explains how to
utilize your voice and body language to your best advantage, and he
describes how to use the technique to calmly, assertively, and
effectively correct and train your dog. Mr. Stevens also provides
step-by-step instructions for the common commands (i.e., sit, down,
come, stay, quiet, etc).
The book contains some
pretty interesting reading.
I put his basic
techniques to the test on my recalcitrant pooch and I was amazed at how
effective they are. I highly recommend it!
I Love Freebies (Don’t
You?)
Everybody loves freebies.
Although my magpie-like
greed may have led
me into less-than-productive purchases in the past, I’m happy
to report
that this particular purchase of Sit Stay Fetch hasn’t
let me down. The freebies that came with this book are not only
plentiful, they’re actually useful - wow!

and handle behavioral problems, as well as a whole bunch of general

your dog (including

Sit Stay Fetch: A Thumbnail Sketch
When all is said and done,
I’m really
impressed with this package.
I’ve had several dogs in my life, starting from when I was
ten years
old. I used to think that I was better prepared than most to handle the
quirks and caprices of my canine friends but I was proven
wrong… My
pre-Sit Stay Fetch self was embarrassingly more complacent than
knowledgeable.
I’ve learned a lot
more by reading this
manual than I’ve picked up
in a near-lifetime’s worth of contact with dogs. Do you know
how to
stop your dog from tugging on the leash without using a check chain?
Well, I do now, but I certainly didn’t until I got my hands
on this
book.
Several of the training
techniques presented in
Mr. Stevens’ book
offer a refreshingly down-to-earth and common-sense approach to dog
training. Other techniques such as dog whispering require a little more
effort but yield some impressive results. I liked how detailed the
training techniques are as they allow each reader to pick and choose
the technique that best suits his dog and his style.
I have no reservations in
recommending Sit Stay Fetch
to anyone who owns, or is thinking about owning a dog. You
don’t need
to deal with a problem pet for the book to be useful. The information
included in the manual will be useful to all dog owners.
