Who’s Dove Cresswell?

As a Hollywood North dog trainer, Dove Cresswell has trained dogs for TV, film and commercials.

At 25 years of age, she has already been training various dog breeds for over 10 years. In addition, she has trained other animals species including rodents, deer, birds, cougars, and large reptiles.

As a dog trainer for films, she is expected to deliver quick results as time is money in the movie business. Therefore, you can anticipate similar results from her dog training course.

So What Is Covered?

The online dog training course, which is audio and video format, offers the following 7 lessons:

  • Puppy Potty Training/Housetraining
  • Dog Obedience Training
  • Crate Training
  • Walking Politely on a Leash: The Informal Heel
  • The Recall
  • Good Puppy & Dog Manners
  • Special Dog Tricks

The lesson on puppy house training offers tips for both toy breeds and larger breeds.

What I Especially Liked

The enjoyable lessons quickly get to the point. Well-illustrated slides and clear narration made the dog training techniques easy to understand. The multimedia format definitely has its advantages as dog owners can see the correct positions for themselves and their dogs, plus they can hear the voice tones to be used. This part of the online dog training course is better than an ebook.

Although this course is not as detailed as some of the dog training e-books in areas such as dog behavior issues and specific dog breed information, it is crammed with informative and well-presented dog obedience and house training guidance for dog owners.

Dove presents a very interesting and common-sense perspective on paper training. She believes that this is not a good practice as it is confusing for dogs. Training puppies to always “go potty” outside is explained in a highly informrative and easy to follow way.

Free Bonuses

When you buy Dove’s course you will also receive the following bonuses and will be given the opportunity to e-mail Dove with your individual dog behavior problem:

  • Teach your dog to fetch
  • Train your dog to play soccer
  • Train your dog to play hide ‘n seek
  • Information on dog sports
  • Choosing the right toys for your dog
  • Earning your dog’s respect
  • Choosing the right dog food and treats

My Conclusions

At first, I was somewhat surprised that only 7 lessons were offered in this first-rate program; however, my opinion quickly changed once I actually listened to the course and discovered the comprehensive amount of information covered in each lesson. I enjoyed the multimedia format of this online dog training course; so much so that I would have liked it to have been longer. The lessons are very simple to follow and you can replicate the techniques to train your own dog as effectively as the professional trainer.

The only downside with this course is that it’s only available online so you need an internet connection to be able to view it.  It is for this reason that I have given it a 4 ½  star rating. If it was also available as an e-book, I would definitely give it the highest possible rating.

This course would be perfect for all dog owners wanting a first rate dog training guide, however, I feel that it is particularly appealing to people who find ebooks boring.  Viewing a sample lesson before you buy the course lets you know what you can expect.

The quality of Dove Cresswell’s course is first rate and I strongly recommend it to all dog owners: Dove Cresswell’s Puppy & Dog Training Online.
