Home Dog Obedience Training - Is it Possible?

By Adam N Jones

How is your adventure into home dog obedience training coming? If it was anything like mine then I bet you are having a blast. Just kidding. I spent over 1 month trying to figure out how to get my dog to listen to a word I said. Who knew that it could be this hard!

When I got my dog I decided that I could train him to be obedient on my own. I mean how hard could it really be? I spent a whole week online trying to come up with my master plan. I visited every site online that offered free advice on training my dog. Then I sat down and put together a plan that I was sure would have him jumping through hoops in no time.

Let me be the first to tell you that you get what you pay for. My master plan I put together was a complete disaster. Believe it or not but I think my dog was less obedient after I got done trying to train him then when I started. I couldn't believe it.

Then I decided to turn to some dog training forums online. Surely I could get the answer from a site like that. Let me tell you that I think a lot of people who spend to much time on those sites might be a little crazy. I had suggestions from pushing my dog around in a stroller to dressing him in bright clothes. I don't know about you but I don't see how any of that could of helped at all.

I did finally find a program that worked. It couldn't of come at a better time. I was about to the point of giving my dog away because my house had turned into a complete disaster area.


If you want to spend the next month trying to train your dog I wish you the best of luck.

I would recommend looking into this home dog obedience training course.
