This video works great for people in wheelchairs!, September 20, 2000
This review is from: The Armchair Trainer(TM) (Dog training video) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
My father has been in a wheelchair for over twelve years. After seeing a film on T.V. about goldens being great wheelchair companions, I decided to give my father a golden retreiver puppy for his 62nd birthday. My father named her puppy Mary. When I brought Mary home, my father and I quickly realized this puppy needed training. After purchasing several videos off of the internet, we realized that none of the videos had any information on wheelchair training. Finally I found a video called The Armchair Trainer on Amazon.com. To our surprise, The Armchair Trainer was the only video that offered wheelchair training. After purchasing the video, my father and I started Mary's training. We have been working with Mary for over four months and can see a great improvement in my father's ability to control Mary. My family and I highly recommend this training video regardless of whether there is a need for a wheelchair or not. It was definitly the most informative and helpful video that we bought.

A very informative and helpful video!, March 13, 2000
This review is from: The Armchair Trainer(TM) (Dog training video) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Armchair Trainer video has helped me solve many of the problems I was having with my 80 pd. golden retreiver "Rowdy". I found this video to be not only helpful but unique in the fact that most of the basic commands can be taught while sitting in a chair. Thanks to The Armchair Trainer video, Rowdy now sits and lies down nicely at my side while I work at the computer instead of jumping and grabbing at my hands all the time.

Superb for beginner and senior, June 12, 2000
This review is from: The Armchair Trainer(TM) (Dog training video) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The author, Mrs. Joan Lask has had many years experience teaching and training people how to work with dogs of all breeds and sizes. She is very lively yet has the patience of Job. The trick to training is getting the owners actively involved. Joan shows how to become a happy dog owner in an entertaining, interesting manner. Anyone who has watched her training classes in person can appreciate this film more. I am one of those so fortunate. Joan also teaches people to become dog trainers. So, part of her thrust in the film also includes topics helpful to those who may view dog training as a vocation. The director helped Joan show various aspects of her "armchair method," in the video such as training a dog how to sit while working on the WWW. Joan does not have the name recognition of Barbara Woodhouse yet but her techniques and skills are comparable. I highly recommend this video for the potential dog owner, those who have just acquired a pet and people encountering behavioral difficulties with their beloved dogs. This is one video that will be viewed again and again as well as kept for reference. Dr. Alan Kardoff, Mgmtdr@hotmail.com
