by Neil Sattin
This two-DVD set teaches the basics of natural dog training that is an ideal way for the average dog to learn basic and advanced obedience at home, without a professional trainer, and gain the benefits of a deeper emotional connection with their human. The DVDs cover introductory techniques, as well as addressing more challenging situations like dog aggression, anxiety, fearfulness and hyperactivity.
Skills covered include: sit, down, stay; how to achieve an insta-down when the dog is energized or in danger; and a recall that works even when the dog is extremely interested in something else. Also covered are play-training such as tug-of-war and fetch-tug, and why the dog should always win; and getting the dog to relax and be attracted to their owner, even at increasing levels of energy and stimulation.
Sattin taps into the dog’s deepest instincts and lets us see the world through their eyes or, more accurately, feel the world through their hearts.
These DVDs show any dog owner how to honor the true inner workings of their dog’s nature in the process of training, which makes it easy to channel your dog’s energy into the behaviors that you want.
This step-by-step approach to obedience will give you techniques to teach your dog everything from a rock-solid recall to an attentive heel, as well as a steady, reliable down/stay.
