 gentle ways to train your dog November 12, 2006

I was pleased at the methods used to train your dogs from puppy to mature dogs. IT covers several different styles of training, clicker and others. I would highly recommend it as a excellent resource in your inventory of training methods. I am using it on my 9 week old rat terrier and he will fetch, come sit and down with a little help and yes even shake hands.
Good information, but not enough November 10, 2006

The training methods taught on this dvd are easy to use and work well. I just don't feel it is complete enough as far as whole training. It is basically just a dvd about training animals tricks. It doesn't train you how to house train a puppy. It also doesn't give you any ideas about training dogs on something other than what is on the dvd. The dvd also gets kind of annoying with the dogs point of view clips. Luckily you can skip these. I personally would not recommend this, but if you have an adult dog that you just want to get it to heal or sit or lay down this dvd will teach you a real quick learning technique.Something else I did like is the fact that they teach using very kind procedures toward the animals. I was able to teach my blue healer pup (Abby) to sit, lay down, come and heel in about 3 tries each. I liked the techniques, but it just seems its more of a trick dvd than a full training dvd.

I thought this video was a Cesar Milan Dog Whisperer video. I was linked to it by the Amazon suggestions on the Cesar Milan book page. Very disappointing.

For those or you who are griping that this DVD is not Cesar Millan, you should learn something. Paul Owens is the ORIGINAL dog whisperer. He wrote the book, The Dog Whisperer, long before Cesar was in business! Paul Owens is a highly-educated animal behaviorist who knows how to correctly communicate with a dog - without techniques like hanging, rolling, choking, e-collars, leash pops, choke chains, hand bites or foot corrections. If you purchased this DVD thinking it was Cesar, you should have looked at the name of the author! Someone should explain copyright infringement to Cesar and National Geographic for using the name The Dog Whisperer when it properly belonged to Paul Owens.
This is an EXCELLENT DVD and shows you how to work with your dog with respectful techniques - no need for force, fear or intimidation techniques. These techniques work - I use them with my own dogs as well as the dogs I instruct. Paul Owens' techniques work as fast as people think that Cesar's techniques work ... they last longer ... they work with the dog's natural state ... and they are pleasant for the owners to use.
Incredible results! September 12, 2006

I rescued a 6 week old puppy about 5 weeks ago and this is the first training I've gotten my hands on that works! I have read Ceasar's book (and like it a lot). And I've also ready Shelby Marlo's book (another great find). But none of their tips helped me with the "nipping" problems I've been having with Sierra. Now, after only 2 days of working with her using Paul's methods Sierra's behaviors have drastically changed and we're able to have fun with behavior modification rather than it feeling like punishment.
