I was surfing the net recently and came across this horrible dog training chewing method. See, this method requires the use of a highly negative training tool in order to stop your dog’s excessive chewing behavior. What sort of negative training tool am I talking about here?
Well, shock collars of course! The website claims that this stupid tool effectively renders any other dog training chewing methods “obsolete.”
That is absolutely preposterous!
Listen, you don’t have to use this tool to stop your dog’s chewing behavior. The fact is with proper home training techniques, you can not only prevent your dog from leaving his teeth marks all over your belongings, but you can also “program” him to perform desirable behaviors in near effortless manner.
Also, using proper home training techniques, you can save money because you don’t have to hire a professional dog trainer and your belongings won’t get chewed anymore. You know, my Lab dog Cheeku chewed on my $100+ toaster power cord and we had to replace the whole unit!
But, this won’t be happening to you (at least, not anymore)!
Let me share with you my dog training chewing methods which are very positive. And if you need more training techniques, check out the link below for a clicker course which covers about 30 different behaviors. I’ve successfully implemented several positive training techniques using this course as my step-by-step reference guide.

Alright! Here’s how you stop your dog’s chewing habit…
Dogs chew primarily because they are bored and anxiety may be the cause as well. So what you should do is set up an area where he may chew only appropriate items e.g. chewing and interactive toys. Items that aren’t allowed to be chewed must be kept out of this area!
This sort of area is vital especially when you’re not around to supervise him. And another important thing is to ensure that you leave at least 3 to 5 of his favorite toys in this area.
Now, whenever your dog chews inappropriately, you must promptly stop him and then redirect his attention to his favorite chewing toy. I used a clicker to full reinforce this action. As soon as I redirect his attention, I immediately click the clicker.
Dog training chewing can easily be done using a $2 clicker which you can purchase from your local pet store. No negative tools required!
And if you need a clicker manual with clearly explained instructions, follow the download details link below.
You may be surprised to know that there are many uncommon clicker training methods for shaping desirable behaviors in your dog. Clicker training is not only for teaching dogs cheesy circus tricks like most people think ya know?
There are advanced methods like backchaining and stimulus control for positive behavior development.

Dog Training | Home Dog Training Vs. Dog Obedience Class

Should you utilize home dog training or attend a dog obedience class? That is a very good question. Well they both have their pros and cons. Let’s first talk about training at home.
Advantage of Training at Home
The advantages of home dog training includes the following:
Typically cheaper
More convenient
Home, relaxed environment
Training your dog at home is not nearly as expensive as attending dog obedience class. You can buy a book or a puppy training course for less than $50. In contrast a training class could cost you hundreds of dollars.
Training a dog at home also gives you the convenience of training on your own time. Attending a class, however, will require you to be at a certain place at a particular time. If you have a busy schedule this could prove difficult, especially if there are many classes to attend.
Also training a dog at home allows your dog to be in the natural setting where all of his activity will take place. This could make it easier for him to adjust to training. It will allow him to train in a realistic environment with all the distractions that are going to be around on a daily basis.
Advantages of Obedience Class
While home dog training has many advantages there are also advantages of attending a dog obedience class.
The advantages of attending a puppy training course are:
Able to instantly have questions answered
Trainer can let you know if you are doing anything wrong
Can see and hear how the instructor handles the dogs
All of these could help to train your puppy more quickly and help you to avoid mistakes in the training process. Obtaining instant feedback from the instructor will allow you to quickly correct mistakes that you may make during the training process.
So whether you decide on home dog training or attending a dog obedience class you should be able to get your dog trained. Attending a dog obedience class is the more expensive option. It could prove to help you train your dog more quickly.
If you are short on money then it may be more beneficial training a dog at home. Selecting the proper home dog training course will help you to avoid costly mistakes in the process.
