One of the best thing about David's method is you get instant gratification. No kidding. First lesson, using a 20 foot leash, and you will have your dog at a heal after about 10 minutes. Jumping up on you or family? Cure that in about :30 seconds. All done humanely, so you don't feel like you're 'hurting him.'
I trained my lab using these tapes, and it was amazing. Both you and Fido will be so much happier. Don't hesitate, buy this.

I believe the more than average person considers their dogs to be an essential part of the family. So don't give up on their training!! David Dikeman's Program comes with more than just two videos, however, I am just reviewing the two videos. This is great training, but folks...you have to commit, and that means at least opening video Vol. 2. As a seller, I have seen many of these TWO volume sets, and people don't even get two Volume 2.

Dikeman works with a variety of dogs, the settings are outdoor, and he gives examples, explains and demonstrates the "dos and don'ts" of training. Good training techniques are taught in a park to the city streets.

Volume 1 goes into the sit commands, down commands, off-leash training and includes hand signals.

Volume 2 is great for training your dog to avoid distractions, attentivness and how to behave in various situations. Dikeman demonstrates how to control leaping and jumping, resistance, praising, etc.

This is broken down into lessons which he clearly advises the time period for practicing with your pets.

As I mentioned, this is a great training tape, but I believe too many people give up! Training a dog well takes time and it is work. ....Rizzo

I have three dogs 2 males 3,4 yrs old and a new puppy that have now gone through part of this trainning/ retraining and what a difference. I have the special three Vol. set and the cards and this whole system works great as long as you stick to the routine.

Bottom Line :
If you have a dog and want to train the dogs well use it PERIOD !
Be a good companion teach...

In his Command Performance series, Dikeman demonstrates both positive reinforcement and mild corrections in dog training techniques. His presentation is pleasant and easy to understand, and his directions are easy to follow.

I used this system with my Rottweiler when she was a puppy back in '97. This system was easy simple and very effective. She is the best trained dog I've ever had. No leash required...ever! I have been looking for this tape again, so I can use it to train my next puppy. I highly recommend this product to anyone who does not have experience with training. I can not say any more than I am going to buy this product again.

You won't find a better dog training VHS tape.
David is very personable and sure knows how to work with dogs.
A very intertaining and informative tape for anyone who has a dog and wants to learn how to train it.

We bought these videos back in 1996 when we had a Lab and a new Beagle. We trained the Lab, who was 6 at the time, in a matter of minutes to pay attention to where we were. The Beagle was just a puppy, but he learned rather quickly too. Literally, within a month, the dogs were both well trained enough to be able to make them mind. We have since trained another Beagle as well. We never made it all the way through the training to be able to walk the dogs in public down a busy street, but just in video one you'll be able to get the dogs to walk with you and pay attention, come when you call them, and stay when they are told. You will not be disappointed.

We LOVE this video! The format and information is simple to follow, well explained AND demonstrated with just the right amount of detail. David Dikeman is also funny and clearly respects animals, which makes this a very enjoyable video to watch. Can't wait to try this program!

Trained several dogs with this system over the years. Had to replace lost videos so I could train the 3 puppies we got recently. I didn't think of buying any other training program.

Hey, I think this is the best program on the market in the last 20 years!

Also on Amazon is the DVD Version of this training system -just enter command performance dog training DVD in your search.

Does anyone still have a VHS???? LOL!
