1.0 out of 5 stars look elsewhere for better training methods, November 10, 2008

By	Crazy Glue (USA) - See all my reviews

The trainer in this training video uses negative-reinforcement techniques and physical manipulation consisting of aggressive alpha-rolling via limb twisting (to teach not to jump), digging your finger into a puppy's tongue (to teach it not to bite), forcing the puppy's hips down with hand (to teach it to sit), pulling front paws forward (to teach down), along with leash jerks (to teach come).

There are much better and more effective ways to communicate with and train a puppy compassionately by using positive-reinforcement techniques. Please be kind, gentle, and positive with your puppy and avoid using this video to train your puppy.

5.0 out of 5 stars very informative!, July 2, 2004

By	Teri (Mississippi) - See all my reviews

This video was very informative and shows how easy it is to train a dog. However the food and water schedule was not included and I really need it to complete my training
