 Excellent Positive Training TipsMar 21, 2003
By Ginger
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.

Train with Your Brain, Not Your Brawn!Oct 20, 2005
By Christine Lee
"CPDT, Canine Behavior Enthusiast"
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 commands is excellent. I would have preferred less camera movement during the 'sit' segment, but the actual training techniques are great. Also, the 'sit' and 'down' segments are done with different doggie challenges- such as how to 'down' a short dog, or how to work with getting a puppy to sit.
Every dog owner should see this DVD, if only to teach your dog more than just how to 'sit', 'down', 'come', and 'stay'. I was plesantly surprised to find so many 'bonus' commands that you don't normally find in training DVD's, like ringing the bell to go outside, how to take treats gently, among others. 'Go to Bed!' is one of my favorites.
And if you have a "Home Alone" dog, Nicole and Laura even go over how to keep them happy and safe while you're away. :)
Highly recommended for all levels of dog owner!

The best training DVD I've seen thus farMar 04, 2007
By Marcus Peacock
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.

The Training Never EndsApr 14, 2003
By Bob Fisher
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.

Absolutely Positively WORKS - and it's soooooooo easy!!!Apr 03, 2004
WOW! HAS THIS TRAINING WORKED!!!!!!!!Our Border Collie pup is now 15 weeks. I've been using the techniques from this DVD for 2 weeks now, and had IMMEDIATE results. I'm using a clicker in conjunction with training treats, which has been an unbelievable success. We've even SURPASSED the skills on the video, and have come up with new ones of our own, using the same techniques, with no difficulty. One tip: because you use SO many treats for "payment/reward", I decided to go to a well stocked pet store and look for a soft, small size kibble food to use for treats. I found one that is low cal/light - as I don't want to get off on the wrong foot and accidentally pile the pounds on a growing puppy (very hard on joints/growth plates to have an overfed pup). There is no time wasted in this training dvd with small talk or lectures... they get right to the point in a clear, precise, no non-sense manner. These gals have a very gentle technique: soft voices, smiling faces, all of which they present in a calm/peaceful atmosphere. Clearly, they have a genuine affection and respect for dogs - and that translates into training US to be the same (more compassionate and patient dog owners). This program is extremely suitable for young children to use as well. I highly recommend it.
