5.0 out of 5 stars This video works great for people in wheelchairs!, September 20, 2000
By Jennifer Nelson (Sterling, Ill.) - See all my reviews
My father has been in a wheelchair for over twelve years. After seeing a film on T.V. about goldens being great wheelchair companions, I decided to give my father a golden retreiver puppy for his 62nd birthday. My father named her puppy Mary. When I brought Mary home, my father and I quickly realized this puppy needed training. After purchasing several videos off of the internet, we realized that none of the videos had any information on wheelchair training. Finally I found a video called The Armchair Trainer on Amazon.com. To our surprise, The Armchair Trainer was the only video that offered wheelchair training. After purchasing the video, my father and I started Mary's training. We have been working with Mary for over four months and can see a great improvement in my father's ability to control Mary. My family and I highly recommend this training video regardless of whether there is a need for a wheelchair or not. It was definitly the most informative and helpful video that we bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very informative and helpful video!, March 13, 2000
By Tim Paulaskas (Daton,Ohio) - See all my reviews
The Armchair Trainer video has helped me solve many of the problems I was having with my 80 pd. golden retreiver "Rowdy". I found this video to be not only helpful but unique in the fact that most of the basic commands can be taught while sitting in a chair. Thanks to The Armchair Trainer video, Rowdy now sits and lies down nicely at my side while I work at the computer instead of jumping and grabbing at my hands all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Training the CORRECT way, March 27, 2000
By Doug Harper (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews
I thought my dog was perfect since I have trained it to sit, lay-down and come. However, since I trained my dog with food it only obeys me when I have food. After using this video, and training my dog the correct way, my dog obeys my commands in any situation. Thanks U-Train!
