Very helpful, 2008-04-11
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.

Save Your Money, 2008-03-20
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.

Nice, Fun Way to Train Your Dog (or cat?), 2008-02-21
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 :)

Pretty basic, 2008-02-18
This is a nice entry level video for a new dog owner. I was hoping for a little more advanced training and/or tricks. All the basic obedience training is there and it is well explained and demonstrated. If you teach your dog most of these commands, you will be very happy with your pet. We had already taught our dog most of the commands on the video before we got it, but still picked up some valuable information.

nothing new , 2007-10-24
This is a good video for people who choose not to bring their dogs to a school or trainer. I was hoping it would teach more about what to do if your dog isnt perfect like the ones on the video. It teaches a lot of tricks and it gives you the dog's perspective. Overall it was a okay video just wished it would teach more about behaviors that need to be corrected such as: what to do if he barks too much, or does pee in the house, or nips or chases people.
