Secrets to Dog Training (from Kingdom of Pets) is one of the longest-running dog-training programs online, and it has endured for a simple reason: it is a thorough, plain-English manual that covers almost everything a typical owner runs into, for a single one-time price rather than a subscription.
What you get
A detailed guide covering obedience fundamentals and a wide catalog of problem behaviors — barking, digging, chewing, aggression, jumping, house-training and more — usually bundled with supporting audio and video. It reads like a complete reference you keep and search when a new issue comes up.
Who it is for
The budget-friendly entry point: ideal if you want broad coverage without committing to a membership and you do not mind a more text-heavy, reference-style format. If you specifically need to watch a technique for a tough behavior problem, a video-first program will serve you better.
Pros & cons
Pros: one-time price, no subscription; very broad behavior coverage; great reference for new owners; money-back guarantee.
Cons: dated, text-heavy presentation; breadth over depth on some topics; optional upsells at checkout.
Bottom line
As an affordable, do-it-all reference, this is a sensible first purchase. For a modern guided method see Brain Training for Dogs; for serious behavior problems see The Online Dog Trainer.
