The Facts About Dog Training with an Obedience Video

An Obedience Video Can Save your Sanity AND Your Wallet!

A dog training obedience video is quickly turning into a viable alternative to dog owners that struggle with their dogs behavior problems but cant spend an arm and a leg to do so. As better skilled and more experienced dog trainers release newer and more proficient obedience videos, more and more people are turning to them and finding success in great numbers. The best obedience video that I have come across is Debbie Jeanne's Dog Obedience Training Videos It is less than $50, has an 8 week satisfaction guarantee, and comes from someone with over 30 years in the business.

Compare that to the hundreds or thousands that you would spend with a Send-Off or In-Home trainer. Even a group class would cost more and they do not target problems that occur in the home such as housebreaking, chewing, jumping, digging, biting, or running away. These are the kinds of problems that matter the most to the owner of the dog. There is a much more in-depth breakdown of why obedience videos give more success at a fraction of the cost of alternatives in this blog but also you can check my squidoo lenses A Dog Obedience Training Video Guide and The Facts About Dog Training with an Obedience Video.

If you are looking for an obedience video you can trust, I would check out Debbie Jeanne's Dog Obedience Training Videos before I bought one from any other trainer.

Tips for Housebreaking Your Puppy

If you learn better visually seeing things versus reading, check out my squidoo lens about dog obedience training video's. But try and see if this helps you out first.

Housebreaking is often made much more difficult than it should be. It is one of the more frustrating behaviors that puppies have, and gets more dogs put into new homes or turned into shelters than just about any other behavior. So lets simplify this for everyone.

1. A dog relieving themselves feels good to them no matter where they do it. Inside or outside, they feel better from the internal reward of relief! This means that the more times that your dog is able to urinate or defecate in your house, the more they are going to want to do so. So the bottom line is, until your dog is housebroken, you ABSOLUTELY cannot leave them unsupervised. Doing so will only set you and your puppy up for disaster.

2. If you cannot supervise your dog, then put them in a small area of confinement. Such as a kennel, or small room (like a laundry room or a hallway baby-gated off), or on a very short leash. The idea here is not only does it prevent the dog from being rewarded for eliminating in your home, but it also uses the dogs denning instinct to motivate it not to go in that small area. Dogs don't like going to the bathroom where they hang out. If your dog is still have problems while confined, reduce the size of the confinement area and remove all absorbent materials such as blankets, towels, or large stuffed animals(if it is a kennel you can buy or make a divider to cut down on its overall space). If for some reason the dog does relieve themselves in that confinement area, make sure they stay in there for at least 15 minutes. This may sound cruel, but it helps the dog understand that going inside, especially their crate is bad, and will motivate them to hold it longer next time. This helps to develop muscle control. If you cannot supervise your dog for ANY length of time, then you need to confine them. All uncaught 'accidents' in the house teach your dog that your house is the proper place to go.

3. Only punish 'accidents' that you actually see happening. If you don't SEE it happen, your punishments are going to be ineffective. Dogs learn in the moment. If we cannot isolate the moment that is undesired, they will never be able to grasp the concept of what we are upset with. If you see them eliminating in the house, say 'No!' firmly and loudly several times in a row. Do this as they are still squatting. Quickly walk over to them and grab them by the scruff of the neck (the extra skin on the back of their neck where the mother dog would pick a puppy up by) and pull up a few inches (you do not need to pick the dog up off the ground) and quickly shake your hand to the right or the left while still holding the puppies scruff. This is almost exactly how 'Mama Dog' would punish them, only we aren't using our teeth (hooray opposable thumbs). Give several quick 'shakes' to the left and the right until the dog stops peeing or pooping. IMMEDIATELY after that you need to take the dog outside to where you would prefer it go to the bathroom. This is called correcting and redirecting, and is essential for any dog training.

4. Have a routine at the door or wherever we want the dog to signal us from, where we say something along the lines of "What do we do?" or "What do I want?" that we say a few times. If after 5-10 seconds the dog hasn't sat, help the dog sit (by pushing up on its chin and down on its rear end) and say something like "That's right, we sit!" and then take the dog outside. Within a few days of doing this your dog will start to sit when you go through the routine on his/her own and this is important, without being told to sit. This starts the behavior of notifying us before going outside.

5. Reward the dog for eliminating outside. When you see your dog squatting and using the bathroom, in a very monotone voice say somewhat gently, "Go potty, go potty, go potty." or whatever phrase you like until the dog finishes and then immediately change to an over-the-top level of praise. This helps teach the dog a cue to go on command, and rewards them for going outside.

These are the 5 most critical steps to housebreaking. If your dog is not being rewarded for peeing and pooping in the house, because they are not given the freedom to go unsupervised and you are there to give a mild negative association when it does happen then you have successfully completed the hardest and most important step. Teaching them to cue you at the door and continuing to reward all outside eliminations will be the finishing touches.

Best Dog Obedience Training Video

Hey fellow cyber-people! This Blog was inspired from my Dog Obedience Training Video lens. It is well worth checking out as it goes into far more depth about the variety of options available to you.

I wanted to put together a blog where I talked about some of the best options for training your dog well and cheaper than any other option I have seen. Debbie Jeanne's Dog Obedience Training Video is the best training video that I have had the good fortune to come across. Debbie Jeanne is a dog trainer with over 30 years of experience training dogs.

Why use a dog obedience training video? Shouldn't someone use a trainer directly?

All good dog trainers run across a very frustrating problem. That problem is that they can only help so many. They are limited by two factors. First is geography, because a trainer can only drive so far to train someones dog. The second factor is price. Good dog trainers aren't cheap, and you should be suspicious of any trainer that is very inexpensive. Quality dog training runs often well over $100 dollars an hour! But by presenting the information through a dog obedience training video, both of the limiting factors can be overcome. A video is easier to learn from than a book because you can actually see what to do. See where to put your hand, how and where to grip the leash. These are things that are almost impossible to learn from a book. A good dog obedience training video will allow you to learn from the comfort of your home and train your dog at your own pace. Paying a trainer to train your dog presents many problems that i will explain here shortly, but the largest is the fee. People routinely spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on quality dog training. What if you could get the results from a dog obedience training video for a fraction of the cost?

Does your dog:

Chew?
Jumping?
Barking?
Biting?
Digging?
Running Away?
Peeing or Pooping in the house?
or just plain Ignoring you?

Do you WANT to simply accept it or would you like to CHANGE those behaviors?

Tired of books that don't help and are full of conflicting information?
Don't want to send your dog off? OR maybe you dont have time to drive to meet the group classes when they are offered, or can't afford a trainer to come to your home?

Then Debbie Jeanne's Dog Obedience Training Video could be exactly what you need.

If your not convinced that a dog obedience training video could help you, let me quickly go over some of the alternatives.

'Send-Away' Training- You send your dog off to get trained then get them back after training is complete. -You not only don't get to SEE your dog for a period of weeks or months, but because you weren't part of the training it will NOT last long term, and could lead to a worse situation long term

Group Classes- Group based training. -You don't get much 1on1 time with the instructor, have to drive to the meeting place at a specified time, and don't even focus on the problem behaviors that are driving you crazy. (ie... biting, digging, jumping, barking, housebreaking, chewing etc...)

In-home training- Works great if you get a good trainer and can afford it. Expect to spend >$100 per hour.

Books- Are cheap, but are full of conflicting information and are hard to learn from.

Video- a good dog obedience training video has a LOT of benefits. You learn from the comfort of your own home and do so at a pace that you set. You can see the techniques being used making it easier to learn from. It is significantly cheaper than any other option aside from books. (the video I link to is less than 50 dollars and is also instant access).


I believe that for most people Debbie Jeanne's Dog Obedience Training Videos will be able to help out tremendously. I see it as a low risk first step to dog training that will be the first and last step for those that try it. But if it doesn't work out, she has included a no-risk 8-week satisfaction guarantee! That is one of the other things that makes me comfortable recommending it to others.

In closing, Debbie Jeanne's Dog Obedience Training Video is an option that is relatively cheap in comparison to the other alternatives. It gives a real chance to help improve the quality of life between you and your dog and is risk free. If it doesn't work, you can always get your money back and apply it to one of the other more traditional training options. But if a dog obedience training video helps you out, you can save hundreds to thousands of dollars and more importantly improve the relationship between you and your dog!
