 Easy dog training May 2, 2008
This video was simple to understand but really for beginning training and not intermediate. While the training worked on my puppy to obey simple commands such as sit and lay down, he is beyond that and into intermediate training such as walking and not jumping. This book did not cover that type of training, it is basic simple sit, lay, come commands.
 This DVD saved my neighbors dogs life! April 4, 2008

Three weeks after I brought my puppy home from the East Valley Animal Shelter, my neighbor decided to get a "pound puppy" as well. I saw him the following week as he was literally on his way to bringing the dog back to the Shelter "because the 'no good crazy mutt' was biting everybody". He said he wasn't as lucky as me and he got a bad dog. I let him borrow this dvd and pleaded with him to give the dog a second chance. He hesitantly agreed. A couple of days later I checked in with him and the dog was no longer biting anybody and his temperament was that of a different and more calm dog. Thank you Paul Owens for helping to save a dog that would have surely been euthanized! Since then my neighbor bought his own dvd as well as the book. Guess I need to get the book now to keep up with him. LOL!

The way this video is set up with menus upon menus makes it virtually useless. Whatever information it contains is difficult to access because of the menus. What information I watched was mediocre and elementary at best, and the frustrating menus for less than five minutes of DVD play time per selection was finally to much. It was a waste of money. I finally tossed this DVD and went out to play with my dog.
If you want a video game, get a video game.
If you want an easy to use and view dog training DVD, avoid this one.
 Don't do it. January 29, 2008
This DVD is very basic and only covers the basic commands. Could be useful if you have a puppy but a basic puppy class will teach you the same stuff. I like his style for sure, but I can't really recommend this DVD as the content is extremely limited. It's really not worth the money.
doesn't stick to the topic October 28, 2007
While the compassionate insights into dog psychology and non-violent training are useful, there's too much extra stuff in this book. I'm not going to take up yoga, do breathing exercises or cook better for my dog than for my kids. I'd love to see a more concise, focused version of this book.
