Recommended Answer:
Watch the "Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Milan,so you can find out how to act with and around your dog. After your dog respects you, then try "It's me or the Dog" with Victoria Stillwell for training advice. Those are the only two dog shows that I can say seem worth paying attention to. You have to figure out what works for you and your dog.

How to Incorporate Dog Training Into Dog Play and Exercise!

• Yes, I actually would recommend it because when I first got my dog I got a lot of little tips that worked really well from the shows. Especially "It's Me or the Dog." And instead of getting a trainer or going to obedience classes, it's free!!!!


• Hell no. Said shows are far to heavily edited to be of help and give people the false impression that they can train their dogs WITHOUT help when in many cases they should be working a a real trainer.
  
  Watch it for entertainment sure, but certainly not to learn anything.


• No, they are all actors, and the shows are edited. Call your dogs breeder and have them refer you to the local kennel club. Kennel clubs hold classes on a regular basis.


• I don't believe anything I watch on TV, training shows included. TV shows are edited and their primary goal is ratings, not informing.

• No, I'd recommend classes with a trainer.
