On this family-friendly DVD, bestselling author and trainer Paul Owens teaches easy step-by-step methods to train your puppy or dog that will give you immediate results. Owens has 35 years of experience and is often referred to as the original Dog Whisperer since his book, The Dog Whisperer, was released in 1999. Owens is also the author of The Puppy Whisperer and is featured on the DVD, The Dog Whisperer Vol. 2: Solving Common Behavior Problems. Owens teaches only positive, non-force training methods and is nationally recognized as a leading proponent of nonviolent training. Coupling scientifically-proven methods with kindness, respect, and compassion, this state-of-the-art training proves that there is no need for jerking, hitting, pinning, shocking or shaking to get reliable behavior. You will learn how to teach your dog to cooperate, not submit. Dogs are given signals instead of commands and, step-by-step, they learn to happily respond even when tempted by other dogs, children on skateboards, joggers, or the aroma of a juicy steak!
