Great Start to Clicker Training December 19, 2006 K. Ringo (Tampa, FLorida) 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I got this for my puppy, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The video clearly explains the steps and is a good start for basic obedience. My puppy caught on very quickly using the clicker method and has learned sit, down, touch and her name. I like that they focus on different sizes of dogs in the video. Both instructors explain clearly the steps needed to train a command and why to do it that way. It has very useful information as well on common puppy issues like crating, housebreaking, keeping a latchkey dog busy and ringing a bell to go outside for the bathroom. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good training DVD that gives practical advice using positive training methods.
ok, but pretty basic. November 10, 2006 Julie M. Pardue 2 out of 7 found this review helpful
this dvd was ok, but i didn't really show too much of anything. each part for training a specific command was pretty short and basic, and didn't give too many pointers, etc.
Excellent start to understanding your dog November 5, 2006 C. Copp (Exeter, Devonshire, UK) 9 out of 11 found this review helpful
After watching quite a few of these DVds, Cesar Milan etc.., I can see that this is not 'rocket science'...the techniques, once you see them demonstrated, are easy to follow and results are speedily forthcoming...as long as the DVD is hosted by a good communicator..this one is! The secret is repitition of the techniques, dog's are very smart, as you all know, and they soon latch on to the reward system, good = tasty treat, bad = bupkiss, once they are 'grounded'; 'balanced', they assume the role intended for them, obeying ushumans! It is not cruel to 'gently discipline' your dog when he steps out of line, they appreciate and understand it. This DVD is a very good place to start getting your dog back to being a dog, and not the bonkers...lead pullling...disobedient bundle of teeth and fur he might be right now. Be strong...use the DVD to strengthen your resolve when you make your pampered pooch sleep downstairs, and above all....repeat....repeat...repeat the techniques you are shown and Numero Uno rule is not treats for pooches that are just sitting there looking at you with big eyes....they have to earn it!!
New found confidence for both my dog and myself July 26, 2006 dmz (San Jose,CA) 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
As a first time dog owner I wanted a well behaved, socialized dog. This DVD helped me obtain that. Its organized and clearly explained instructions had me teaching my dog to sit, lay down, and stay in no time at all. Because of the many behaviors we learned on this DVD when we went to obedience classes she was ahead of the pack and moved quickly through the first level. As she learned her new behaviors she became more confident and calm here at home, and I have become more confident knowing I can learn to train my dog successfully, and be a good doggie parent.
