I thought the video was more about showing how well Matty can train a dog versus actually showing me how to train my dog. It had a couple of useful tips but alot of issues are dealt with very quickly without any real depth. good video to start with.

From his initial bonding with each dog to covering each training command, Matthew Margolis takes a no-nonsense approach to training the people as well as the dogs. His methods emphasize praise and affection, rather than harshness. He demonstrates effectively that most training problems are generated by the owner, rather than the dog, and shows how to communicate effectively to establish a good working relationship with each type of dog. If you have a dog, or if you want a dog, this is a must-see video.

Whereas Mr. Margolis has an abundance of video charisma WITH PEOPLE, his dog 'training methods' are VERY unfriendly. Why do dogs let him do this stuff? It's cruel.

This video gives a wonderful foundation for how your dog should be trained. It's amazing how he was able to break some bad habits in such a short amount of time. The only negative with this video is that doesn't cover everything. He covers the following commands and or issues: heel w/automatic sit, mouthing, sit, leash breaking, overy submissive dogs and overly aggressive dogs. I would have liked it if he demonstrated all of his commands, i.e. sit, stay, come, lay down etc. That being said, I certainly can figure it out based on Uncle Matties approach so it's definitely worth getting. Excellent video!!!

this was the most useful video thati have every watched, watched
over 6 times, it not only shows you where you go wrong with your
pet but how to correct the problem's before they start.
i have watched this video and would highly recommend it to any one who own;s a dog.
i took this video out from our local library and nowi am going to
own it.
