Editorial Reviews

From the Actor
After training hundreds of dogs, I realized that it was far more important to train the owner, than to train the dog. Thus, my goal: teaching people how to train their dogs. Dogs are far easier, anyone can train your dog, but not anyone can train you!

Product Description
This video is designed for people who want a no nonsense approach to dog training. We focus on changing the existing relationship with your dog or starting a new dog on the right paw. The dog is an opportunist who will turn your good intentions into him/her controlling your life. We will help you turn the tables by understanding pack behavior and showing you how to be the leader without using treats or clickers. Training tools include appropriate collars, (buckle, slip chain or pinch) and leather leashes. Training methods include positive reinforcement thru praise and success, while teaching you appropriate leash corrections for undesirable behavior. Through informational lectures and obedience exercises, we provide answers and solutions to why your dog doesn’t listen to you. After using Charlotte’s methods your dog should be listening, loving and respecting you more than before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Training You to Train Your Dog, December 10, 2001
By Julia K. (Kansas City, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
Because of the benefit of location, I have been able to attend Charlotte's training classes with three of our family dogs. We have had wonderful results and two of these pets have gone on to be used as therapy dogs. Now, thanks to the video, I am able to either review what it is that we have learned in class, or to start a dog myself, using the video as a guide. My husband is a local veterinarian and has referred many clients to Ms. Foster, as have I. She loves her canine clients and is an excellent teacher with a strong background in education. She helps both human and canine to understand boundaries, to build self esteem, to live together in harmony, and to maximize the human-animal bond. The video is professional, easy to follow, and done in segments that make for pleasant viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, the help I needed!!! THANK YOU CHARLOTTE!, May 1, 2003
By jennifer gruba (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
In an age where everything is taken to its most complicated level it was incredibly refreshing to view this video. It not only pointed out the problems with my own inconsistencies when attempting to work with my puppy, but it explained them in a very down to earth and easy to understand format. When most people think of dogs they feel as though they have been domesticated for so long that there isnt much instinct left in your basic pet- even though their instinct is to try to establish that they are the ALPHA! Charlotte talks about how important it is that the owner be the ALPHA not the dog. So many bad behaviors can be stopped just by establishing this! A little practical application has allowed me the oppotunity to accomplish what I set out to do. I am pleased with this video because it teaches the owner to train their dog by being fair and consistent, loving , without yelling or hitting their dog. You won't regret purchasing this training video!

5.0 out of 5 stars BE READY TO HAVE FUN WHILE LEARNING, January 19, 2003
This was given to me as a gift. The first thing I did was look at the running time...104 minutes. I thought to myself "that seems long, don't know if I'll be able to watch the whole tape".
Put it in my recorder and 104 minutes later found myself not wanting it to be over with yet!
Charlotte has the type of personality that you can relate to. Her personality on the tape grabs you and her learning techniques keep you. I love the way she incorporates praise while she puts emphasis on sterness. And the humor that occurs naturally made me laugh at loud more than once! She starts with week one of an actual class and you stay with it all the way through. That appealed to me...you see an actual class from start to finish...with actual everyday people just like me! I am recommending this to EVERYONE I know who loves their dog and wants a great relationship with them. I loved it as gift and will be doing that also!
I have to end this review with one question...CHARLOTTE, WHEN IS THE NEXT TAPE COMING OUT???!!!
