This DVD is 4 hours long. The purpose of this Leerburg training DVD is teach you the art of dog training.
It’s our goal to show you that dog training is not rocket science it’s 100% common sense. There are no Tricks or Secrets of the Trade. Dog training is is an art that you can learn if your willing to put your mind to it.
The best dog trainers know how to build a bond based on two way respect between the dog and the handler. These trainers know how to motivate a dog to want to learn. They understand how and when to apply distractions during training so they can show the dog that it must mind under all circumstances.
Our DVD will show you how to approach dog training. It will teach you how to break a task into small incremental training steps (or building blocks). Once the dogs has learned each of these small blocks we show how to put them back together again so the dog can easily perform the exercises.
If I were you and I were considering spending many hours of time following the training recommendations of someone like myself I would want to fully understand that persons philosophy of dog training. I suggest that you take a minute right now and read the article I wrote on my philosophy on dog training.
There is an old saying, Dogs know what you know and they know what you don’t know. My dog training program and this web site can be your first step in the journey of showing your dog what you know.
This DVD is organized into chapters, just like a book. The menu for our DVD allows you to watch the chapter you want when you want. This makes for a very simple review
The information in this video is designed to be watched again and again and again. There is more information here than you would get in any local 10 week obedience class. more info

We’ve enjoyed putting into practice some of the things in this training DVD with our dog. It’s too bad that most of us will never purchase a product like this until we run into difficulties. I’ve had dogs all my life and never knew half of the stuff Frawley is teaching. I realize now that though we’ve had good experiences with our dogs, our experiences could have been much better if we had understood more in the way of what makes a dog “tick.” The dog we have now (the reason for buying this and a number of other Leerburg DVDs) has become much more respectful toward our teenage daughter since she’s been changing the way she treats the dog.
We also purchased the one about pack structure for the family dog, and that’s a must as well. We’ve learned that our daughter’s deferential treatment of this dog, whom she loves, was causing the dog to see her as an inferior pack member and causing the aggression problem which was our reason for the purchase. If you’re only going to get one of these rather expensive videos, get the pack structure one. The alternative for us was having the dog put down, and that would have really hurt.
Oh yes . . . I should mention that Frawley has decades of experience in the real world and is not an actor playing a dog trainer or a celebrity dog psychologist. Some of the things (like “alpha rolling”) advocated by these better-known trainers may be okay with a gentle (and small) dog, but with a harder dog could lose you your face. So be warned. I was advised to have our daughter “alpha roll” our dog, but had the sense to stop her when I sensed the dog’s impending reaction. After having watched some of the Leerburg DVDs and heard some of his stories about this practice, I’m very, very glad we didn’t push that one.
