Do you want a dog that can sit, fetch and roll over on command? Yeah, I thought so. Well, can you spare the funds in enrolling him in a professional canine school? Yeah, I thought as much as well. Dog training can cost you a pretty dime and if you can spare it, go right ahead. However, if you cant, dont think you should make do with an untrained dog. It is a necessity to have your pet trained. Dog schools are an expense we could all do without, its alright. There are many dog training DVDs that can do the job instead.

A dog training DVD will most likely be promoted by a professional and recognized dog trainer. And by dog trainer, I don't mean someone who has finally mastered the command "Sit!" to his dog. The person (or persons) in the instructional video should be certified or at least has finished the necessary courses in a licensed animal training school. Search the web for well respected trainers who may have resources being sold in the market today.

If you are considering buying one of these DVDs, know what level your dog is in and what exactly you want to teach him. You would want to get a basic obedience training video for a new puppy. For behavior modification or specific dog tricks, research for reputable sites that have an extensive DVD collection. Find the most suitable title from the product offerings usually sorted by topic.

Where can you buy these dog tutorials? There are probably very few video shops who have a good compilation of animal training videos. Your best bet will be rubbing your virtual lamp, the Internet. Amazon is always a reliable source of anything educational including canine related DVDs. There are websites that specifically cater to pet owners. They have whole pages of product offerings which include instructional resources. Search for buy and sell sites for pre-owned DVDs; however, be forewarned that this is not a usually recommended source.

The average price for good dog training videos range from $20-$50; depending on the what is included in the package, if there are additional discs or related literature. Many websites will offer an attractive discount or gifts if you put in your order right away. If you know that the instructional DVD you're buying will be used often, then purchase it as soon as you can. However, if you are just enticed by the great bargain of it all, don't swipe that credit card just yet. You may need to buy something more important in the near future.

A well-trained dog is an affordable luxury any pet owner can get. With dog training DVDs, you can have professional trainers teach your dog right in your living room for a fraction of the cost. Fido may not be trotting the grounds of any prestigious dog academy anytime soon -- but thanks to the internet, the dog academy can now go to him.
