Boring! All this time is spent during the DVD talking about the John Fisher technique, but not really showing you anything specific. Lots of great video shots of dogs romping about with their owners and shots of classes being conducted, all being voiced over about the 'great john fisher technique'. Who cares! I didn't order the video so that I could go look for a trainer who trains with this technique, I ordered it so that I could train my own dog. So little instructional information was given and the video was so boring, me and my dogs fell asleep watching it. What a waste!

I have watched several dog training DVDs and this clearly falls dead last. The video bears little connection to the narrative so you might as well consider it a book on tape. Even then, it will not provide you much practical information on how to train your dog. With the plethora of other options out there, even if they are a bit more expensive, it is worth spending a little more to get something useful.

Wow; I sure was expecting better than this! I mean no disrespect to the late Mr Fisher; actually, that is not a put down to him since HE did not produce this tape. It was made after his death, and one would think that someone who he'd mentored could have actually SHOWED the "John Fisher Method" so often referred to. But, alas, no one does. There is some good information on general dog behavior, choosing a breed, etc. So if you're just getting into dogs or considering getting a dog, it is definitely worthwhile. But if you are looking for a practical Dog Training video, one to show you how to teach your dog, this is not it.

It provides an informative overview about dogs and their training but could've dedicated a higher percentage of time to the actual practice of training. The narrator ends well in the final chapter, chapter 8, providing an interesting recital of a personal experience that John Fisher had with a challenging dog and how he handled it, and fine music arrives toward the end. Overall, I give it credit for the info and intriguing end chapter.

I was disappointed with this DVD. I didn't like it at all, poor methods of dog training, nothing I didn't already know.
