This DVD was completely useless. Not only was the video ancient, the direction the DVD gave was basic common sense in training a dog. I learned nothing from this video. I would highly recommend people NOT buy this product and also recommend that Cabella's remove this product from their catalog. I will think twice before ording a product like this again from their catalog.
I recently purchased the Gun Dog Training Retrievers DVD, to add some audio and visual input to my gun dog training arsenal. I bought the DVD when my Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Tucker, was ten weeks old- and put its techniques to the test right away. The DVD covers everything from basic commands to advanced retrieves. One positive aspect of the DVD is that the instructor notes some differences in training techniques between upland and waterfowl hunting. I have used the techniques from the DVD in conjunction with gun dog training books and various other snippets of literature. In my opinion the DVD is extremely helpful, but must be used in conjunction with other mediums for effective training- especially for the novice or first time trainer.
This DVD proved to be wothless when it comes to training dogs. The cover states that it will help you pick a puppy and start with the basics and work your way up. This does not happen. This is more of a showcase of the trainers dogs, he does not show training of any basic commands and his dogs cower every time he raises his voice. Do not buy this product.
