 Complete and well put together DVD! I'm very impressed! Dec 31, 2007
By D.T.
This DVD is excellent and shows well put together footage on topics such as house training, getting your dog to enjoy and use a crate both for short term house breaking assistance and/or long term use to create an optional "den-like" atmosphere in the home. General house breaking tips, chewing, jumping, mouthing, manners, obediance and various other topics are included as well. The narration and information here is fabulous. There is a mild advertising lean to this DVD in that it offers products like the kong toy and others and offers the viewer to choose buttons giving product information but hoenstly- the products offered are truly ideal and just what a new dog owner might benefit from seeing. I have trained and housebroken dogs in the past but found some truly great new ideas I'd not heard of before. And all the methods are sensible, gentle and respect the animal. Nothing is harsh or a turn off. This DVD might be especially useful if you don't have time to read a book on and/or you specifically want advice on crate training visuals or housbreaking tips because the footage shows you what the entire introductory process looks like. The video is created by trainers in conjunction with Animal Planet and Petfinder.com. The videography portion is of high quality, clear and offers suggestions on what to do if you animal behaves in a way not shown on screen. The company also puts out a DVD called, "Your Adopted Cat" that I will be purchasing next here on amazon and if it proves to be as wonderful as this dog video, I will be doubly impressed!

Great for new or seasoned pet owner Nov 24, 2009
By Phare Camp
this is a great video for new pet owners. Its also great for adopting pet owners as it show adopters re-training older dogs that may have developed bad habits. One thing, there should be ability to select subtopics in the menu. Under the topic "manners" there are many dog training basics the viewer would not know are in the video if they were simply scanning the menu. Often an adopted dog has had some training so being able to select lessons in subtitles so we could skip those the pet already knows would be great. I love the tip about reinforcing training during tv commercial breaks!
 Good lessons, but........ Dec 02, 2011
By Beverly Waleur
"bev6368"
This DVD contains good, concise information. However, there is nothing on this DVD about walking your dog. They talk about using a walk as a reward, but don't actually tell you the proper way to teach your dog to walk on leash. Had I known that this essential lesson was missing on the DVD, I probably would not have purchased it.
