Train Your Dog Before Your Dog Trains You!

Larry Berg, a professional dog trainer with 20 years experience, is the host and instructor for this outstanding and comprehensive dog training video. Excellent pacing and organization and a good sense of humor will make this program a boon for dog owners who need to train their dogs. Berg teaches 5 basic commands (sit, stay, down, come, and heel), using step-by-step instruction. Rather than present all five commands back-to-back, however, the heavy-duty instructional segments are broken up by discussions of common problems with dogs: housebreaking, destructiveness, stubbornness, food guarding, dogs and kids, grooming, health care, etc. In short, virtually everything a dog owner needs to build a happy and healthy relationship between owner and pet is included here. Informative, fun and inspirational, Train Your Dog Before Your Dog Trains You is the best dog training video I've seen, and it is highly recommended. Editor's Choice. [Note: the tape comes with a leash in an oversized box. A one-hour version without the leash is currently being prepared by American Pet Industries which will retail for $19.95. If you can, though, we recommend you purchase the full two-hour version.] (Available from: American Pet Industries, 126 Lincoln Rd. E., Plainview, NY 11803; 1-800-526-9969.)
