Even though dog training schools are worth it if you can justify the expense, there is really no reason why you couldn't train your own dog. It takes time and effort, but the results will be worthwhile, and you will have created an amazing bond with your dog while getting him/her to be the best dog they can be.
There are a couple of resources that I highly recommend to anybody that either recently got a puppy or older dog (recently adopted), or has had their dog for a while, but their dog continues to have behavioral problems.
1) Fido Problems™: lots of information, and its well-organized. That's not everything, though - the ebook is excellently written, presenting topics in comfortable, easy-to-understand language. Techniques and methods are explained, from beginning to end. The book doesn't just explain how to do them, but explains why they work! It's a useful tool for anyone who's ever had trouble disciplining his or her dog.
2) K9 Instructor: If you're looking for a no-frills site, this is the one for you. There are absolutely no trimmings here to guide the beginning user - it's just the e-book and a few bonuses. The book itself is fine, lots of good information and techniques, but the site could have used a little more polish and organization. Sure, you'll be able to train your dog, but the presentation could have been better.
Either of these resources is great but they will require practice, patience, and perseverance. Keep in mind that dogs crave discipline! They thrive in pleasing their masters, so remember that not only will you enjoy having a better-behaved dog, your dog will be a happier pooch.
