Good Book...I'm sure I'll learn a lot more about my dog as I continue reading...


1 out of 5 stars almost worthless dvd   February 26, 2008

I ordered this dvd with high hopes that it would show me some real, specific, detailed training I could use with my dog; there was very little of it contained in the dvd. It was very general, not detailed, not lengthy enough to show me how to train my dog. The cartoon of a cave man first discovering a dog... what was that all about ? fluff. filler. The breathing ? not for the dog but for the human trainer .... geeezzz louezeee ! This "original dog whisperer" may be a great dog trainer if you work with him one-on-one with your pet, but via a dvd.... don't waste your money or your time as I have done; invest in a dog obedience class and get hands on, in person training - it will cost you more but your money will be much better spent than to buy this sorry dvd.


5 out of 5 stars THE BEST OUT THERE!   February 26, 2008

I had the pleasure of working with Paul in person when we got our 2 rescue dogs many years ago- the man works wonders! We attended his puppy school and years later our dogs are still responsive to Paul's techniques. I've had to recently reach out to Paul for a new issue we're having with our dog (he when the baby cries) and his suggestions were spot on.

I still have and treasure this book wouldn't go to or recommend any other trainer



1 out of 5 stars How is this a 5 star book?   December 25, 2007

Really? 5 stars? I couldn't get through the first 30 pages. The overwhelming amounts of tender philosophy and outrageous views of the "life force" of a raw diet (scary, truly scary) are completely unrelated to training a dog. The book was denigrating to anyone who has ever given a leash correction, gone hunting, or looked at their dog in any way other than with pure worship. If you're looking for a touchy feely book, this might be right up your alley. If you're looking for a solid book of training techniques, there are better books out there.
