Train Your Dog - The Positive Gentle Method

Summary: Love it - its nearly on repeat
Review: Get this! I have watched it on repeat over and over and its useful as soon as you get the puppy (crate training, toys) to later on for basic training such as sit, heel. Don't get the Puppy Smarts video - its so simple and costly in comparison. Doggy Cuts was fun too, but its not easy to use in DVD format. But it really beats reading a book when you are staring at your pup to see another pup getting trained.

Summary: The BEST dog training DVD I have seen yet!
Review: I am an aspiring dog trainer, so I have seen MANY videos and DVDs. I have read many books on the subject of dog training as well. I have read many of Nicole Wilde's books in particular(which, by the way,I really benefitted from) and that is what prompted me to purchase this DVD (because she is one of the trainers featured in it). Nicole is a well known Certified Pet Dog Trainer and Author (well known amongst many professional dog trainers all over the USA)and she has become a favorite of mine! This DVD is great! It is so well organized and it makes training so EASY. You don't have to watch a whole DVD in one sitting. Instead, browse the menu for the behavior you want to train your dog... then select it with your remote control. Watch it with your dog and then practice it (Viewing and practicing one command might take you 20 minutes or so). It is broken up into many sections to make training EASY, EFFECTIVE (as far as results AND time)...more so than ANY training video I've ever seen! Using the techniques that Laura and Nicole demonstrate for you will build a loving bond with your dog AND your dog will think learning is fun... which, I believe, is the very BEST part of this type of training! You won't regret purchasing this DVD! I think your dog will thank you too!

Summary: The Best Training Guide!
Review: I have searched for months for the right training guide to train my 2 yellow labs. Books were very helpful but I couldn't always get the correct idea by looking at the pictures, this DVD actually showed me the true hand signals along with the verbal cues I needed to train them the way I wished. Additionally, this DVD is broken down in the various steps needed for a well trained dog. After viewing the DVD in it's entirety, I could go back and review the "next" training phase, and/or add different combinations. The training tips are short, clear and easily accomplished. I loved the variety of dogs and their different ages making this a training tool for any dog owner.

Summary: Great for new dog owners!
Review: I just bought my yellow labrador, Amber two months ago when she was two 1/2 months old. I didn't have a clue how to teach her to obey me. She was so hyperactive and rowdy, that I almost gave her up to my sister for adoption.

I ordered this DVD, and it really helped me a lot! Now my dog knows the following: come, sit, down, stay, wait, and even name recall. The clicker training and tips on behavioural problems helped me a lot too! I was planning to enroll my puppy in obedience school soon, but now I don't have to! I can train her myself and save a lot of money!

Summary: The Training Never Ends
Review: I naively thought the training of my 2 very large dogs would end after a couple of years or so. Sure, they've got the basics down but I'm learning that the training never ends. This DVD answers some of my questions about their continuing education, particularly about not "jumping up", and "leave it". Laura and Nicole are quite clear in their instruction; how to AND how not to. This is a great addition to my ever growing book and tape colletion in trying to understand two of my favorite creatures on the planet.

Summary: Prevent nutty dogs!
Review: I've been through two different "obedience training" classes in the past. My dog flunked. Which was sad, because I brought my cap and gown for him to wear at graduation (sigh).
I wish this video was available then! I am amazed at how enjoyable training your dog can be, for both the pet as well as the owner!
Now, years later, I am getting a new dog. I want to start out right, so I watched this DVD. All I can say is WOW! I love the way the trainers, Laura and Nicole work with the dogs. I found myself smiling throughout. They took many different aged dogs and literally trained them in front of my very eyes. It was that quick! Not only did it look fun for the owner, but also for the dog. The dogs couldn't wait to perform the desired trick.
The owner directions were clear and concise. I know now when I should reward and why. It just makes sense.
I can't wait for my new puppy! This is a video I will watch again and again, so my new dog and I create a lasting, loving bond together.

Summary: BEST TRAINING AID OUT THERE!
Review: I've had this DVD now for just a few days and my dogs can already sit, stay, go potty, down etc. Best training aid I've tried yet. Only problem is getting a lowfat treat, I don't want my dogs getting fat. I also suggest you train your dogs seperated from each other, and use a variety of treats. I use everything from cat food pieces to hot dog chunks. My dogs love me! They can hardly contain themselves, They are so happy! I even trained my cat to come and sit using the same methods. Get this DVD you won't regret it.

Summary: Try this before spending a lot of money with a trainer
Review: Read the other reviews and decided to get this DVD, and were very pleased with it. In fact, it was better than we had thought an instructional DVD could be on this subject. It is professionally done, and easy to navigate. Really appreciated that they used a wide range of dog breeds, as well as different ages and temperments. Saw immediate, positive results. Plus it was fun to watch casually, and then apply their advice as the circumstances permitted. Our young daughter would get so enthused from the video, that she would immediately want to try out tips right away. Yes, there are certainly times when a trainer/behaviourist is valuable, but why spend good money on one of them for many basic and mid-level training methods that you can get from this video? Then, if a trainer does work with you and your dog, you are not wasting time and money on simple training tasks. Also, it may help you assess what sort of trainer might be best for your dog, if you subsequently decide you need some extra help from one.
