In the past, nearly every dog owner relied on home dog training to get their dog to obey and perform tricks. This was in the days before obedience classes were popular, or even available.

Various methods are available to train your dog. You can bring your dog to obedience classes, conduct leash training or collar training, or just simple home training techniques. You have many options and there are lots of books and DVDs available to help you in selecting the best method to train your dog.
