Is A Dog Training DVD A Good Way To Learn?

0

So you have a dog with a little bit of a problem. You’ve seen these guys on TV pushing their products and they make it look so easy, so now you’re wondering: is a dog training DVD a good way to learn? Well, the answer is yes, if you are willing to put in the time and patience.

Dog trainers are great, when they know their material. But how do you know if they do? You can research and try to find out by their website. Or you can go to class and take a chance. But look forward to paying for the personalized treatment, because a good trainer will not be cheap.

If you are considering taking classes, think it through. There is the drive time (hopefully, your dog’s problem doesn’t involve car rides), and the loading and unloading no matter what the weather. If you’re unlucky, it will rain on class night and you get to smell wet dog in your car, plus after they get out. And remember, if you go to class you are on their time then, not yours. If you can’t make a class, will it throw you behind? How fast can you get in? What if one of the dogs there transforms into a demon when your dog enters the room? And if the class doesn’t work out you will probably not be eligible for a refund.

Another thing to consider is that if you had to bring your dog into a class atmosphere, chances are there are going to be other dogs present. Your dog may not take too kindly to that. If you spring for private classes, you are paying for time. And if you or your pooch require repetitive tasks to learn, its gonna cost you.

The great thing about training with a DVD is it’s on your time. If you get interrupted, you can stop and pick it up later. Plus, you get to exercise the great rewind button if you need to. In fact, you can rewind as many times as you need to, no matter how long it takes. And if your dog starts acting up, or frustration set in, for either of you, you have the luxury of stopping until it’s a better time.

So, if you want to know if a dog training DVD a good way to learn, it really depends on what you consider a good use of your time. You can either spend it carting your canine back and forth to class, or you spend that time more wisely in the comfort of your own home.
