Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Woof Woof: Uncle Matty's Guide to Dog Training offers a friendly and funny approach to raising a dog. Host Matthew Margolies speaks with humor, warmth, and authority when talking both to his pupil dogs and to his audience. He does scold some of his example pet owners, mostly for not being diligent enough about enforcing doggie boundaries and rules. Woof Woof presents several scenarios familiar to a dog owner, including selecting a dog at a breeder or the pet shelter, teaching sit-stay-heel, and generally having more control over Fido when out walking him. He stresses the aphorism that it is not the breed that is vicious or willful, but the treatment of the dog that determines behavior. Margolies's philosophy is that "love, praise, and affection" and a good leash will get one far in gently enforcing an owner's control. He demonstrates in some almost-too-good-to-be-true situations in which a playful and undisciplined puppy completely submits to sit-stay, even when his real owner calls to him from across the room in an attempt to distract him. Another demonstration has Margolies taming an aggressive pit bull by speaking gently to the dog while distracting him with a lesson in "heel-sit." The video includes discussion on behavior problems, not just solving them, but really getting to the root of them, and then proceeding from there. Despite the thorough puppy selection (ways to ascertain new puppy and dog personality), and basic training and leash-holding technique demonstrations, there is no "chapter" or demonstration on house-training methods when bringing that new pet home. This might have been more useful, especially considering the time the video devotes to selecting a new pet. Overall, the video presents basic training principles in a positive and "team" approach to working with a dog. Thankfully, Margolies is not above baby talk, either. It is nice to see an authority in dog training still cannot resist a cute pooch. --Gilia Angell

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncle Matty's Wolf! Wolf! Video is an excellent video, January 7, 2000
By R. J. Bockus "techie movie buff" (Lancaster County, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not only does "Uncle Matty" give a lot of great advice about dog training, it's incredible to watch him in action training dogs in minutes. Reading books are helpful, but to see the techniques,... and see them work, is invaluable. If you follow his advice and are consistent, you too can train even a difficult dog. If you have a dog and are having problems with it going to the bathroom in the house, biting, etc., THEN BUY THIS VIDEO! Please, don't get rid of the dog,... it's YOU, NOT THE DOG. UNCLE MATTY IS THE BEST!

4.0 out of 5 stars A common-sense approach to training your dog, September 17, 1999
By A Customer
I enjoy Uncle Matty's friendly approach to dog training. He really seems to speak the dog's language, and his praise - "Uncle Matty's proud!" - is so funny. My dog wiggles all over when I praise her like this. Matty has some great tips and keen insights to share. Not everyone will appreciate this approach. But if you're a sentimental dog owner like me, then this video is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dog can stay!!!, July 23, 2003
By Barbara Krieger (Meadow Vista , Ca) - See all my reviews
I took a leap of faith and boy am I glad we did. The tapes were easy and fun to watch; but more important Uncle Matty was clear as to how to handle a puppy. We were at the point where it was getting really hard to love our pup, she was nipping, barking and jumping. Just as in the video, after a few correction we gained control. Thank you Uncle Matty, your tape should be required viewing for all puppy parents. It really works...
