- great value
Great video for the price. It's true, this is basic information, but if you're looking for advanced training seems like you should be looking somewhere else besides a video? After purchasing a more expensive training video and renting this one from the library, I can't say the other one gave me much more info to warrant the much steeper price. I have to say, the "touch" command reviewed in this video was PRICELESS to us! I had never seen it before this video but it has proved very useful with our fear-aggressive dog. (Instead of "rewarding" her fear-aggressive behavior when we distract her from other dogs with treats, we can reward her for responding to the "touch" command. Brilliant!) Would definitely reccomend over the more expensive training video unless you can find that one on another site for way less $ as we did! Oh and about the comments on clicker training - there is actually an "extra" section on the video ... Read More

- Good training approaches, difficult for user to select lessons
I purchased this video for my mother who was having some behaviour issues with her poodle.

We found the lessons to be presented in an easy to follow manner.

The problem she had was with how the lessons were presented for selection on the video.

A menu of lessons is presented on the screen; as you move the cursor, a dogs paw print highlights the specific lessons. You then hit play or enter to select that lesson.

The problem is that it is difficult for her to pick out which lesson is highlighted; particularly if your vision is not quite good, and hers is not.

A different method should be used to highlight the lessons. Highlighting the entire lesson frame would have been much better. She eventually gave up trying to use the lessons because she could not navigate to the lesson of interest.

- Not recommended...
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.

Rating:

- Too simplistic
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.
