Save Money by Training Your Dog at Home

Save Money by Training Your Dog at Home

By Sparrow Darling

In today's challenged economy, with gas prices and food prices reaching the Heavens, we all need to cut a few corners. For those of us that have dogs, we will probably start looking for ways to save money. Training your dog at home can be one of those ways, as health care for your dog can not be cut out. So, if you have a new dog in your life, (or a dog that simply needs training), you may want to think about training your dog yourself. There's a great deal of satisfaction in being able to say that you trained your dog yourself. However, that only applies if the dog is well trained! Imagine impressing your family and friends with a very obedient, well behaved canine companion.

• But, where to start? Where do you begin? Well, in order to have good results with your efforts at training your dog, you must also have some proper instruction. You also need to remember that exercising patience is a huge priority on your part. Yelling, hitting, or jerking your dog is never acceptable. You will never gain his trust that way. Hopefully, you got your dog because you love dogs and want to have a great dog companion, so therefore kindness is the order of the day.

If you have a puppy, you won't be able to hold his attention for more than 10 minutes at a time, but maybe you can have several training sessions daily. Add some form of doggy treat as a reward. But please try to give a fresh, natural food as a doggy treat, not the chemical laden, processed products filled with ingredients that you don't recognize and cannot pronounce on the label. Remember, if you feed your dog substandard food you will certainly have health problems and vet bills down the road. So start them out right with quality food as rewards for training. A healthy dog will be a good student for learning. Not only should his rewards treats for training be healthy, but his daily diet should be as well.

• Most of us have very busy schedules, so we need the quickest and the fastest dog training methods available, with the best up to date, easy to follow instructions. This is the only way you can achieve your desired results. Once you discover the absolute best method, used by many, many dog owners, you will be on your way to having the Best Trained Dog!

And you'll be able to proudly say that you trained your dog yourself, at home. And saved money doing so. Think of it as homeschooling for your canine buddy. Who knows, your friends may want you to train their dogs. This could be the beginning of a whole new career!
