Clicker Puppy-dvd, Kids and puppies learning together

I am a 4-H leader for our dog project and I watched this with my own kids. My two youngest loved it and have already started using the ideas in here on their dogs. We did the clicker game with the group at our meeting this week. I only recommended this for trainers working with kids or parents with kids who are very interested in training their dogs.

The idea of this DVD is great. Showing how you can clicker train a puppy, and that it is so easy, even a kid can do it. For the most part, the DVD achieves that goal, but some poorly chosen footage, and kids who need to be clicker trained ruin the disc. This looks like something that I could have produced with a DV video camera, and DVD authoring software. It shows some good tips, but overall misses the mark.

short, but it's amazing what very young children are able to accomplish in a very short period of time. I really enjoyed watching this and will buy copies as gifts for new dog owners - especially ones with children - who have no experience with clicker training.

I did not learn much I did not already know. If you have read even a very short book on the subject you will have covered all of the information in this DVD.

My friend has purchased a male Bloodhound puppy that is a little head-strong and is resisting learning obedience and crate training.I have 4 dogs and have trained them using this clicker-training book/DVD successfully. With a little patience, a clicker and this book/DVD will produce good results with a puppy.

This DVD is a complete waste of money--unless you want to know that you can use a clicker to train a puppy--but I just told you that so you don't need to waste your money. This DVD doesn't teach you how you go about using commands (hand then verbal) or when to click for a behavior! It just keeps telling you that it's possible. I learned more from youtube videos than this DVD. I don't think I've ever written a negative review before but this warrants a giant "No!" My friends have used clicker training and it works, but not from watching this DVD.

Helped remind me .

entirely too expensive for what u get $22.00 for a $2.00 dvd don't waste yer money. not long enough blah blah blah blah

Clicker training is just so wonderful; this DVD gives you so much encouragement, so much hope, shows so clearly how, even with the tiniest puppy and with the clicker in the hands of an almost as tiny child, you can train your dog not just to do the things you want, but to THINK. That's the power. Go there. Do it. Don't miss out on discovering how to teach your puppy how to discover things for him/herself. There are lots of good books out there, and a few really wonderful trainers. Look at this DVD and you'll want to find a clicker trainer to help you, but you'll already have found yourself and your puppy a head start.
