Training Your Adopted Dog

This DVD is excellent and shows well put together footage on topics such as house training, getting your dog to enjoy and use a crate both for short term house breaking assistance and/or long term use to create an optional "den-like" atmosphere in the home. General house breaking tips, chewing, jumping, mouthing, manners, obedience and various other topics are included as well. The narration and information here is fabulous. There is a mild advertising lean to this DVD in that it offers products like the kong toy and others and offers the viewer to choose buttons giving product information but honestly- the products offered are truly ideal and just what a new dog owner might benefit from seeing. I have trained and housebroken dogs in the past but found some truly great new ideas I'd not heard of before. And all the methods are sensible, gentle and respect the animal. Nothing is harsh or a turn off. This DVD might be especially useful if you don't have time to read a book on and/or you specifically want advice on crate training visuals or housebreaking tips because the footage shows you what the entire introductory process looks like. The video is created by trainers in conjunction with Animal Planet and Petfinder.com. The videography portion is of high quality, clear and offers suggestions on what to do if you animal behaves in a way not shown on screen. The company also puts out a DVD called, "Your Adopted Cat" that I will be purchasing next here on amazon and if it proves to be as wonderful as this dog video, I will be doubly impressed!
