DVD Reviews of Train Your Dog - The Positive Gentle Method
DVD Review: Great ideas for obedience training at home!
Summary: 4 Stars
At first I thought the DVD was a little silly since it is filmed at someone's home. It is 100% positive training with treats and almost no corrections, completely different than any dog obedience class I've ever taken. BUT, once I got past the initial surprise, I realized how happy and excited the dogs were to work on obedience.
My biggest beef with obedience class is how utterly useless it seems to walk around in circles with your dog on a leash at home while practicing heel. My dog gets totally bored woking with discipline training, and so do I. It seems to only work when the leash is on because the dog learns that he would rather be anywhere than doing obedience with you.
This video gave me tons of ideas of ways to train my dog in a fun way using 5 minutes here and there. I had run out of ideas of things to teach my dog after sit, down, stay, and this DVD gave me more ideas like Leave it, Give, wait, and others. Yes, this is basic obedience, but useful stuff that will make your dog a wonderful part of the family, which is most people's goal. And best of all your dog will love it. He will look forward to pleasing you and getting his reward. I wish I had started this the day I got my puppy.
I was worried about using treats to train with until I read an article that said, "How would you like it if you were only told when you were doing something wrong everyday at work and never got a paycheck for it?" It really makes sense that a dog must be rewarded for good behavior and they must be engaged with something more interesting than the outside world. A dog should learn that you are the giver of all things good and being with you is better than chasing cars or barking at neighbor dogs. Discipline training just doesn't give a dog this kind of incentive, and it seems so boring for both trainer and dog.
I guess this style may not work for all dogs, but it seems to fit our dog perfectly. He is always excited to please me now by trying really hard to learn what I'm asking. That makes it rewarding for both of us. I'm having lots more fun training and getting better results than ever before. You can read all the same stuff in books, but it is nice to see it done if you are a visual learner like me.
The one positive thing I will say about dog obedience class is it is great for socialization around other dogs. Dogs really need this from a very young age. Socialization will not happen in the privacy of your own home so you will need to practice with your dog while at a dog park or around other dogs. A dog who isn't properly socialized and has anxiety while in public or around other dogs doesn't care how good your treat is. While you do obedience remember to get out and socialize too.
