Train Your Dog - The Positive Gentle Method



Train with Your Brain, Not Your Brawn!
I have a 5 year old Shetland Sheepdog who is already trained, but I still learned things to teach him in this great DVD.

Very professionally put together, this DVD is one of the best out there to show you how to train your dog with your brains, not brawn. The DVD menus are very cute, and the music that accompanies them makes you feel like you're about to embark on an exciting adventure.

Nicole and Laura make the learning and teaching process fun for even the most inexperienced dog owner. Their laid back speaking style and easy-going manner makes listening to their instruction enjoyable.

I really like how they explain how the treats should and shouldn't be used- so you don't end up with a dog who will only work when treats are around! They stress that using positive reinforcement does not mean being permissive; your dog most certainly won't walk all over you if you train using their methods.

Nicole and Laura's instruction of all the basic...

The best training DVD I've seen thus far
With a new puppy on the way to our home, my family rented five different dog training videos (including "The Dog Whisperer" and "Dog Training the John Fisher Way") and this was the best of the lot. It has good pacing, the hosts are pleasant and it has enough depth and breadth that it is worth purchasing -- which we did. We have gone back to it as we have progressed and for refreshers on certain commands. Just a good solid DVD.

Excellent Positive Training Tips
This organized and well produced DVD made it very easy to get the tips necessary to train my dog. Each command is on a separate chapter which makes it wonderfully easy to review the training tip that I was interested in.
I enjoyed the wide varitey of dogs used in this DVD. Interesting tips were used for both large and small dogs. (I don't have a short legged dog, but was fascinated that this was covered in the section on "down".) My dog loved Nicole's voice, and watches the speakers intently when she praises the dogs.
This DVD is great; practical and fun to watch.
