 Not recommended... June 1, 2008
While this DVD might be good for young children or adults with absolutely no understanding of basic obedience training, I think that most customers will be disappointed. The material presented is VERY basic.
 Too simplistic May 28, 2008
I agree with the reviewer who asked why all of the dogs in this DVD were so well behaved. I found the DVD much too simplistic. Even the DVD from PetSmart was more helpful to us with our new adopted shelter dog. She is a great dog but very willful. This DVD didn't help at all. Plus, even though I know a lot of trainers use food, I think it creates it's own set of problems. I use food, but this DVD, especially in the leash section, completely focuses on food. I have found other methods more successful and beneficial in my relationship with my new dog.

This was easy to use and well laid out. The best message was "Set your dog up to succeed." There are no dominance techniques used. The methods worked well with my toy breed except the leash training. I would have to be 3 ft tall to constantly feed treats as I walked. I also wish they had covered some fun commands like fetch.

What a waste of $20. There is about a 3 minute explanation of difficult commands such as heel. And why is it that all the dogs in the video are so much more well behaved than most dogs?? And "the gentle method" really just means treat after treat. I want a trained dog not an obese dog.

Amazing, my ten year old dog (who's just started with dog obedience training a couple of weeks ago learned the 'down' command in minutes!
Like in the video, my dogs are learning the basic commands immediately--what a life saver. Now, hopefully the instructors at the school would realize no dog's too old to learn new tricks while my family and I are realizing, having dogs is so much more fun and rewarding!
Our big thanks to Nicole and Laura and everyone who helped create this oh-so-helpful DVD.
And I'm starting to read Cat Training in 10 Minutes and it looks like I can use almost the same methods to train my cats!(we'll see :)
