Who is Chimney? He is a family cat and he is telling his story in poetic form in the book “Chimney & Co.” Chimney starts the poems at a time when he was very young and they continue up through his mature years.

The titles of some of my favorites are:

My Arrival – Chimney tells how some people came to the kennel to choose a dog for their pet and the little girl picked “Susie” an Irish Setter. The litter of kittens was spotted under a chair and Chimney was the one chosen to go along with Susie.

The Naming of Me – Chimney tells how he got his name.

Time Wasting – Chimney tells why he hates to see people working.

Susie – Mother – When Susie had eleven puppies in all and how proud she was at that time.

My Favourite Person – Chimney explains what a joy it is for families to have a Granddad.

My First Christmas – This one is my very favorite of all. Chimney tells about his first time seeing a Christmas tree. If anyone has a cat, this poem will mean so much to you and I’m sure it will give you many laughs. I could go on and on because I own a cat and many of these poems bring back some fond memories.

Pamela Douglas has done an excellent job with these poems. Any reader, young or old, will come away with the feeling that the cat is “really” the one telling the story in these poems. The author uses her writing skills and creative imagination to make the reader feel this way.

If you are a cat lover, this is a must read book of poems. If you don’t own a cat, you might want to get one after reading this book. Parents will enjoy reading these poems to their younger children. What a combination – cat adventures made into poetic stories!

What I really liked about the author’s writing style is that she makes the reader aware that cats are keenly aware of everything going on around them. If you have ever had a cat, you are well aware of this trait.

There are also several poems that teach lessons with messages such as Sadie’s Sore Paw. Sadie stepped on a piece of glass due to someone “littering” the countryside. Another example of a message is All Pals Together where we learn it is important to “share and appreciate friends.”

Be sure to pick up a copy of Chimney & Co. You will find the poems funny, a learning experience and very entertaining.

Do a search on Google for Sit Stay Fetch and you will find pages after pages of information about this training program. In fact, search SitStayFetch, Sit Stay and any other combination of these three magical words and the guide by Daniel Stevens will show in the top search results.

But what makes this book so great? Is it really worth $275? Why does it stand out amongst other online dog training guides? The answer may not be so clear until you actually download the guide and read it.

The first thing that I noticed about Sit Stay Fetch is that it’s over 150 pages of information that will help you with all your dog’s behavior problems. Daniel Stevens, the author of this guide takes you through a dog’s life. You will learn about bringing your puppy dog home and work your way to advanced obedience training.

So if you’re looking for a great guide that can help you train your dog, I strongly suggest Sit Stay Fetch by Daniel Stevens. I’ve liked this guide so much, and this is why I decided to write a review about it.

Are you are a dog owner that has a new puppy that you would like to train, or do you simply own a dog that has some behavior problems? If you answered yes, you might want to consider taking sometime to read the book SitStayFetch. When I purchased SitStayFetch I noticed that it contained a wealth of information that was simple to understand, and easy to apply.

This book has over 150 pages of dog training techniques and methods that are being used by professional dog trainers. SitStayFetch is one of the most comprehensive and complete dog training tools that I have found. The training secrets that are reviled in SitStayFetch have been proven time, and time again to work if they are followed.

When I discovered this book, I was the proud new owner of a four month old chiwawa that I had no idea how to train. I had tried some different house breaking techniques that my friends and family members recommended, but none of the advice they gave me seemed to work. I had just about given up on the idea of housebreaking Alfalfa when my veterinarian recommended this dog training package. After reading the book I applied the house training techniques that were given, and within a month my puppy completely housebroken. Since then I have used this book to deal with separation anxiety, excessive barking, jealousy, and I have taught him a number of basic commands.

This book covers everything that dog owners needs to know, it seem like nothing has been left out of this book. If you have a specific question or problem that isn’t addressed in book you can email the author Daniel Stevens for the answer! Daniel Stevens, is a professional dog trainer that obviously knows his stuff, he understands how dogs think, and what makes them tick. If you are struggling to correct a behavioral problem, or you would simply like to teach your dog a new trick, you will find the answers to all of your dog training questions in this book.

Dog Training getting you down? Well for me it definitely was. It seemed that no matter what I did the outcome was the same. Sometimes I wondered what was harder- raising my son or raising my dog

I have a 2 year old Cocker Spaniel named Rocky which I have had since he was a puppy. It was the classic case of love at first sight (along with my son saying “can we keep him, mom, plleeaassee…I PROMISE to help walk him and feed him…..”). Of course, if you have children then I’m sure you will agree that as cute as they are, and as much as you love them, they lie like rugs!! Although, that is another article in itself. 

When it came to dog training I had always done what I thought was right despite the overload of opinions and advice that was given to me. Not to say that I didn’t try different things. In the end the results were always the same. You see, my dear Rocky had a major problem with barking, chewing, snapping….amongst other common dog behavior problems. His barking was the worst of them all. He would bark at anything that went by my window…people, other dogs, cats, squirrels, birds…you name it! It also didn’t help matters that my windows were all so close to the ground (something I didn’t think about when I bought the place!). It was getting so bad that my friends and family wouldn’t even visit anymore. Needless to say I was at my ropes end and desperately needed to find something that actually worked.

I couldn’t afford professional dog training, and had tried all different books and techniques; non which actually worked. Every time I did any searches on my computer for dog training I would always see tons of ads for ‘Sit Stay Fetch’. I was reluctant to try it, but after spending countless hours reading every free resource available and not getting any further ahead I decided to buy it. Plus, it came with a full money back guarantee which helped.

The only thing that I can say is this…If you have any behavioral issues with your dog, or even if you are just looking to train your puppy….get it!! Not only did it work for me, it showed me some of the classic mistakes people make while training their dog; including myself. This guide is extremely thorough and even has step by step video tutorials so that you can actually see the techniques in action. It covers every topic you could imagine from barking to biting…even problems that I never even heard of! Also, if you have any questions, you get a free e-mail consultation with a professional dog trainer.

I highly recommend ‘Sit Stay Fetch’ for anyone who is a dog owner. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed!!

“Clicking with Your Dog” is one of those books I wish was around when I had my dog. The training concept here is simple, easy, and scientific. It is easy because of the use of a small clicker that makes a unique sound when pressed. It is scientific, because this type of training is based on “operant conditioning,” a term coined by B.F. Skinner who was an experimental psychologist and a behaviorist.

Clicking is based on the reward system and the owner’s friendly and positive relationship with his dog. The book can be used as a manual and a trainer can pick up from anywhere in the book to teach any one trick, after getting the dog used to receiving a reward with each click.
Unlike the traditional correction-based training, the clicker training is based on common sense and respecting the dog’s needs and character. Step-by-step illustrations explain the clicking process very clearly, and people who can’t wait to start can begin immediately.

Whether you start with a dog that is still a puppy or a dog with already established behavior problems, the clicker training program gives fool-proof results, because the dogs become motivated and eager to learn. Through the use of the clicker, both the trainer and the dog have fun and they learn to bond with one another.

“Clicking with Your Dog” has ten chapters. The first chapter introduces the reader to clicking. Second chapter is the fast start chapter for the tools and the skills you and the dog will need. Third and fourth chapters are for teaching the dog good behavior and practical skills. Fifth chapter shows games and tricks for your dog to be useful. Sixth chapter is a review of the clicking process plus some extra tips and advice.

Seventh chapter is for teaching the dog to avoid disturbing or hurting people. Eighth chapter addresses the dog’s needs and his bill of rights.

Ninth chapter is the glossary for the tips and terms of clicking. Tenth chapter directs the reader to other training resources, such as websites, books, videos, clicker training supplies and dog-related sites and associations.

Whether the author talks about understanding the dog food labels or helping the dog curb his unnecessary barking, her expression is direct, pleasant, and very understandable. It doesn’t matter if the book is read from start to finish or by skipping around; the reader’s comprehension will remain intact either way.

“Clicking With Your Dog: Step-By-Step in Pictures” is in paperback with an ISBN of 189094808X. The book is 209 pages with excellent, uncluttered drawings and an easy-to-read text.

The author, Peggy Larson Tillman, worked many years as an elementary school teacher. She discovered clicker training when she got her dog Charles. Then, she went on to teach classes to pet owners, developing her visual instructional material in the process. Peggy L. Tillman and her husband Barry Tillman are also pioneers in the science of ergonomics.

This very effective book with precise instructions and illustrations deserves a place at the top of most other dog training publications.

I had my first pet back in 1985 – a puppy. It was actually not intentional as my parents were against the idea of keeping a puppy because there was just too much responsibility involved. However, it was a case of bullying that got me my first puppy. Yes, somehow my brother’s dog did not like his son and insisted on biting him and the little puppy was only 3 weeks old. Not wanting the poor puppy to grow up into a depressed and unhappy dog, he came under my care and that was how I had to start my search for puppies training tips as I did not want my parents to throw the puppy out for messing up our house!

Back then internet was still not popular so my knowledge had to come from books and books on puppies training were rather expensive. If the internet had been as easily accessible at that time, I would not have to burn a hole in my pockets! Recently, I had to help a friend to look for a good puppies training manual which is both informative and inexpensive and I happened to chance upon an online book – “Secrets To Dog Training”.

What is “Secrets To Dog Training” all about?
If you have just bought or adopted a puppy or a dog, you will need to train it so that it will listen to your instructions and not mess up your house. You will need a training manual that provides reliable content and workable methods for training your new pet. Upon comparison with the numerous puppies training books that I’ve read, I must say that the content covered in this book is very useful and easy to comprehend. The important point to note is that it is written by seasoned professional dog trainer who has many years of experience in dog training so his advice and tips are not based on theories only but have been tried and proven to be effective.

“Secrets to dog training” is an ebook that you can easily download from the internet immediately after you’ve made payment. What makes this manual effective and simple to use is that you will also get a 30 minutes video recording which helps you to easily learn the remedies to the common doggy misbehaviour that you would want to correct in your own puppy or older dog. In fact, the video recordings give such clear demonstrations that you can be off to try them out on your own puppies right away!

I was expecting this ebook to only talk about puppies training but how wrong I was. A lot of information is given in this ebook such as:
• How to select a suitable puppy?
• Where is the best place to get your new puppy?
• What important information you need to know about the breed of your puppy?
• How do you ensure that your home is safe for your new puppy/dog?
• How often should you bring your puppy to the vet?
• How do you correct the behavioral problems in your puppy?
• How can you prevent separation anxiety?
• How do you know if your puppy is sick?

Would I recommend this product?
The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!” because it is definitely a worthwhile investment. I thought I know everything about puppies training since I’ve started keeping dogs since I was a teenager but this book puts me to shame! I have read a lot of books on puppies training but nothing comes close to “Secrets to dog training”. I was most impressed by the section on dog whispering which teaches you how to train your puppies or dogs through communication and mutual respect instead of punishments. There are even step-by-step instructions for you to easily follow and apply immediately.

At such a low and affordable price, you not only get tons of puppies training tips and information, a step-by-step dog training manual, a video clip of practical solutions and even 4 bonus informative ebooks! Wow! A lot of times you get free bonuses that are basically useless but with this purchase, you get bonuses that you can use on your puppy such as how to groom your dog, how to resolve canine aggression problems, how to train your dog to keep your house safe, etc.

You can really solve a lot of your doggy problems when you purchase “Secrets to dog training” because you are even receive free consultations from a member of the Kingdom of Pets team by simply sending them an email with your queries! It is the first time I come across a company that caters to its customers needs even after the purchase has been made.

The only problem I get from buying this product is that I have a lot of reading and watching to do! I learnt a lot of puppies training tips from the ebooks and I had so much fun training my puppy after that. If only this product had been around in the past, I would not have made so many mistakes when I was training my earlier puppies!

To be effective , Weimaraner puppy training needs to acknowledge the breed’s naturally strong and powerful personality with a definite stubborn streak. You will want to work with your puppy in achieving training goals. If you upset or frighten your puppy he will set his heels against you and training will become a nightmare. Training your puppy should be a cooperative exercise and for that to be effective you need to understand how your puppy thinks and processes commands. Consistency, specific, simple word commands and positive reinforcement are the tools you will use for training.

Your new Weimaraner puppy will be wondering who is new alpha is. In his life to this point he will have had litter mates and a mother to interact with and all of his behaviors will have been tailored to these family members. Your puppy will have no idea of what ‘human rules’ are and no concept of right and wrong as we view them. Consistency is your biggest ally in Weimaraner puppy training. If you do not want your puppy to jump up on strangers then you cannot allow him to jump up on yourself or any member of your family. If the couch is ever going to be off-limits, it must always be off limits. This type of consistency will help your puppy quickly understand the new hierarchy and acceptable behaviors.

You also need to use basic command words in a consistent manner. Say each command once and immediately award the proper response with kisses, petting or a treat. Your Weimaraner puppy will be anxious to please you and this type of positive reinforcement immediately tells him he has succeeded. Be sure to use the exact same word for each command every time. A big part of Weimaraner puppy training is word association and getting your puppy to understand that a given command is for an exact behavior.

If you work carefully and consistently from the moment you get your new puppy, Weimaraner puppy training will help you create a dog that is happy, well adjusted and well behaved. The same stubborn streak that can make untrained Weimaraner puppies so troublesome can also make them respond well to training and become the most attentive and responsive adult dogs. Remember that for dogs, learning human behaviors and manners is learning a new culture and language – patience, consistency and positive reinforcement are the keys.

Secrets Of A Professional Dog Trainer was put together by leading professional dog trainer Adam Katz. He states that this book is his attempt to bring together all of the latest tricks, tips and crafts of the dog training profession, and make them accessible to the ordinary dog owner. In doing this I believe he has created the best do-it-yourself dog training system available today.

Secrets Of A Professional Dog Trainer is the most complete dog ownership and obedience training resource I have come across. This book and the bonuses that come with it have changed the way I think about dog training – and no doubt for the better. If you follow Adam’s cutting edge techniques, like I have, you’ll come away with so much more than just a “well trained dog”.

What You Get In The Package

Secrets Of A Professional Dog Trainer Book

This is the main book in the package, when downloaded it’s 151 pages chock full of the
best dog ownership and obedience training information I have seen in any one book. The
book isn’t slick or glossy with lots of pretty pictures, it’s just a great resource of
the latest cutting edge and useable dog training techniques. There is so much to take in and
understand that you will probably need to read through the book at least a couple of times (I still find new things each time I flick through my copy).

The book covers in precise detail every imaginable aspect of dog ownership and is presented
in a no-nonsense, take it or leave it style. Adam gets away with writing in this syle because he has an absolute confidence in his training methods which is based on years of experience and proven real-world results.

I can’t go into too much detail and give away Adam’s secrets, but I’ll just highlight some of
the many topics which are covered. These are just some of the principles I found to be crucial when working with my dogs:

• How to achieve a proper relationship with your puppy or older dog, based on trust and
  respect.
• The overriding principle of this package it to praise or reward your dog when he does something you like, and correct his behavior when he does something you don’t like (sounds simple but you need to know the right way to do this).
• Shows you how to work with the natural drives and instincts of your dog (this is crucial to understand and follow).
• Explains the 3 keys to successful dog training and behavior modification – the first key is “timing”.
• Details the three phases of dog training or the dog learning process.
• Shows you how to communicate with your dog so that your dog understands your commands and those same commands have meaning.
• Explains the top four way to effectively communicate with your dogs. You achieve this
  through replicating how dogs communicate with each other.
• Explains why you the dogs owner are the best person in the world to train your dog.

Dog problems are universal – the good news is so are the answers to these problems.

If you read, understand and then apply the above principles you are pretty much set. All of
your dog training needs can be addressed by adapting these methods to any situation, whether
you are trying to correct a behavioral problem or teach a new trick.

Some of the specific Lessons and Topics discussed within the book – again I can’t go into too much detail here but let me assure you Adam leaves his readers in no doubt about what to do and what not to do in all of these scenarios:

• How to choose the right puppy or older dog for you and your family.
• What your puppy needs at each crucial stage while growing up.
• Tells you how professional trainers raise their own pups.
• How to take any dog for a walk on a loose leash.
• How to perform and hold a perfect down-stay.
• How to prevent or fix canine aggression.
• Stop your dogs excessive barking.
• Five secrets to quickly housebreak (potty train) your puppy.
• The truth about crate training.
• Stop your dog jumping forever.
• The problem with clicker training.
• Which collar is right for your dog.
• Stop your dog digging.
• Stop your puppy biting now.
• How to stop your dog running away from you.
• How to fix separation anxiety.
• How to teach your dog hand signals.
• Socializing your dogs.
• Training with and electronic collar.
• How to give a motivational correction.

The above list of common dog problems barely scratches the surface of what’s included in this book. You’ll find the book addresses all area’s of dog ownership including building a strong relationship with your dog, obedience training and correcting any behavioral problems.

What Adam is really doing in this book is training us the reader, so we can then go and bond with and train our dogs – the right way.

Bonus 1 – Eight Secrets To Becoming The “Alpha Dog”

This proved to be the most beneficial part of the package for me and my dogs. Once I learned and applied the techniques covered in this bonus book everything else I did with my dogs seemed to become easier. Whether I was teaching them a new trick or correcting a behavioral problem, the process seemed to be easier and quicker after we established that I was the Alpha Dog. As Adam outlines in the book (you can also listen to it as an audio file) when you become the Alpha Dog your dogs do these four things:

• Quickly respond to you.
• Respect you in any situation.
• Bond with you in the proper way.
• Really want to please you.

This occurs because dogs naturally love to have a leader (you the Alpha Dog). They are
happiest when they’ve got a good strong leader, who they know will take care of them and that
they trust.

Bonus 2 – How To Fix Aggression Problems In Dogs

Again this section is available to learn in printed form or as an audio file (I actually
learned these lessons on the train, on my way to work listening to my ipod). This section of
Secrets Of A Professional Dog Trainer clearly defines the four main causes or types of dog
aggression. Adam really digs deep into how to correctly diagnose and fix these aggression
problems. He reveals one simple technique that he has used to fix 90% of the aggression
problems he encountered at his dog training school. What I learnt in this section is that it is the way we communicate with our dogs that is essential to correcting this problem – we
must be on the same page as our dogs.

Bonus 3 – How To Teach Any Dog To Walk On A Loose Leash In Less Than 10 Minutes!

The title says it all really. Adam spells out exactly what to do to stop your dog pulling
on the leash. These techniques work a treat. I’ve got to say it did take me and Pocky (my
whippet) a little longer than 10 minutes to master this skill, but we got there before long.

Bonus 4 – Free $25 E-mail Consultation With Adam

This is a great bonus. if you do decide to go ahead and purchase this package be sure to use
this service. Any specific problems you come across when training your dogs you can get the
answer to here. Also be aware that you will receive free access to heaps of training tips and
advice on Adam’s website. This includes an active forum you can read and participate in (there’s some brilliant tips to be found on this site).

Bonus 5 – How To Choose A Veterinarian

Unfortunately, as dog owners there will be times we need to call on the services of a good Vet. This book outlines some important factors to consider when making this decision. These points are general and apply to all dog owners, regardless of what part of the world you are in.

Bonus 6 – Where To Buy Dog Products At Wholesale Prices

Lists some very cheap suppliers of dog care and training products. This part of the package is most useful to residents of the U.S.A.

Bonus 7 – Dog Training Internet Resource File

This is another good little bonus. It’s an exhaustive list of dog training related web sites,
registries, mailing lists, breeders, kennels, products, articles and information. You’ll find
some real gems amongst this lot.

My Experience Using Secrets Of A Professional Dog Trainer

When I first set out to find a suitable do-it-yourself dog training system, this system is really what I hoped to find. It took me a while to wade through lots of the junk products out there, but it was worth it.

Of all the products I have tested, this one is clearly my personal favorite. It is by far
the most comprehensive and insightful product of its kind. Every stage and thinkable
situation of a dogs life is expertly addressed by Adam.

What Type Of Dog Owner Would Benefit Most From Secrets Of A Professional Dog Trainer?

I’ve recommended this package to many friends who are first time dog owners, I’d be just as
comfortable recommending it to Professional Dog Trainers. All dog owners (and their dogs)
would benefit from learning and applying Adam’s cutting edge training methods. He is the
leading authority on how to properly bond with and obedience train any puppy or dog.

Owning a dog or puppy gives pleasure to millions of people, however the choice of which breed of dog to purchase deserves more thought that it typically receives.

Owning a dog or puppy is a big responsibility, yet someone who has little time to exercise their pet or is away from home for long periods of time often buys a breed which is very demanding, leading to a poor relationship between them and their dog.

There are numerous breeds of dog in the world so the choice of which breed to purchase can be extremely daunting. One of the best methods of seeing which breeds of dog are available is to visit a large dog show, where you can see the dogs up close and ask questions to existing owners.

Find out as much as you can about the breed of dog you are interested in; Can you afford to feed the dog or puppy? Can you provide the right type of housing or living environment? Will you be able to provide the correct level of exercise for the dog and at the right times?

Remember a puppy may well grow into a much larger dog and therefore need more food, larger living space and a great deal more exercise. It is a sad fact but many dogs are abandoned because they have grown too large for their owners to cope with their demands.

Think about the practical aspects of owning a particular breed of dog. If it is a long haired breed then you’ll need more time to groom its coat. If you buy a female dog then they will come into season twice a year and have to be kept away from male dogs to avoid mating.

Many people start by buying a puppy but there are lots of adult dogs available who are looking for a good home and are often well trained and ready to fit into a loving family or home environment.

Think about the financial aspect of owning a dog or puppy; Can you afford veterinary bills and certificates? Will you need health and insurance cover? Does the dog have specific nutritional requirements or food costs?

Taking the time to think about these important questions *before* buying a dog or puppy will make sure you get the animal that is right for you and more importantly make sure you are right for your dog or puppy!
