These dogs were all trained by the latter method:

Does anybody know any good dog training websites?

Do you know any dog training websites?
I’m also wondering if there are any websites with high-quality clips/videos on training. I’m taking a class soon and I am interested in getting a head start.

Nancy asks…

What’s the best dog training book? When’s a good age to begin training commands?

I just got a puppy and I am wondering what is the best dog training book available. I am looking for one that teaches me how to teach obedience and some trick that is an easy read. I am the owner of an adorable boxer puppy. Also, if anyone knows, whats a good age to start training. Shes almost 8 weeks and I am working on the sit command with treats but she seems to have no interest. She gets way to distracted. Thanks.

admin answers:

She’s still pretty young–it’s illegal to take a pup away from her mother before age 8-10 weeks. You’re starting out right with the “sit” command. Take some time and go to a book store and look at training books. Even one of those yellow and black “Dummie” books would be good, I bet. I don’t know if there is one for training dogs, but they have them for eveything else.
