 Excellent Dog Training From Beginner to Intermediate June 13, 2007

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I found this DVD to be excellent in presenting the kind of material that I needed to communicate effectively with my dogs. I applied the techniques and they worked almost immediately. In addition, it is a methodology that I and my dogs feel comfortable with and it seems to increase our bond together. I would recommend Laura Bourhenne's and Nicole Wilde's DVD to anyone who needs a simple, effective and enjoyable method of shaping their pet's behavior. In my opinion anyone who rates this DVD lower than at least a 4 is either a competitor or has absolutely no clue about dog training methodologies.

Best source of training I have used. June 8, 2007

I hired a trainor (very expensive) for my newly adopted dog and didn't like his methods. He used a choke collar which clearly hurt my dog so needless to say I couldn't follow his method.
I watched this video and loved the methods that Nicole and Laura used. They are very gentle (and I stress that). Each segment is short and easy to follow and remember.
I would highly recommend this video to those that want a gentle method and something that is easy to follow. Best thing is that if I forget something I can go back to it without having to pay an additional charge
I give this training video a thumbs up!
 Unprofessional, sometimes confusing, often silly! June 3, 2007

"Honey, I just got Pinnacle Studio software. Let me grab the camera and we can make a dog training video. Why don't you call Marge next door if she wants to be famous, she can be in it too. You guys are a hoot together!"
That is how it came off- unprofessional and silly. They would have benefited from having a script to follow rather than adlibbing it.
The actual training information was really confusing. I got the sense that the dogs were doing what they were doing for the treats and not really learning anything. They say not to bribe but there is no section on how to wean them from doing for treats and doing as they are told.
Education theory includes positive and negative reinforcement (included here) as well as positive and negative punishment (excluded from this book). Effective training integrates all four approaches.
 Not what I was expecting May 25, 2007

I wanted a video on positive dog training using a clicker, so members of our dog rescue could learn about it and see it done. We are all experienced dog owners and handlers. First I purchased Karen Pryor's clicker training video. While Pryor's video presented the material well, the video's production quality left much to be desired. Wilde's video seemed more up to date and the write ups promoted it as a great teaching tool. Wilde's video presents very basic lessons using a clicker. This video is suitable for the novice dog owner, and the short lessons are an especially good way to show children how to interact with their new dog. However, the video is designed for the novice owner. This is not a video for the experienced handler interested in learning about positive dog training and use of a clicker on a deeper level.
Annoying May 7, 2007

Even if it works...these people are annoying. I am all about positive training but I'm surprised I made it throught the whole video.
BUT...it was informative and useful.
