It's PAWSible! DVD

Why the It's PAWSible! DVD can help you and your dog

You will enjoy five lessons to learn how to train your dog. You can go at your own pace, but our DVD is set up to be a 5-week dog training class - Running time of the It's PAWSible! DVD is almost 3 hours.
Each week you will see topics of interest like “your relationship with your dog” and “being proactive rather than reactive in your training”. You can access these topics at any time during your program.
Our DVD was professionally filmed in our training center—you’ll see excellent picture quality, hear great sound.
You will also enjoy the professional editing that was done on our DVD.
Our DVD has very simple navigation that keeps the information organized and easy to follow so you can get anywhere on the DVD—fast.
We featured 20 different dogs in the DVD - everything from a Yorkshire Terrier to a Great Dane! Because we feature so many different dogs, you will see lots of dogs in the learning process. Keep in mind, the dogs won’t always do the exercises perfectly. We wanted you to have a product that was realistic so you could see what to expect with your new dog in training.
Some of the dogs featured are shelter dogs, so you will be able to see beginner dogs learning.
We borrowed shelter dogs from two local shelters to help us with this project.
The methods you will learn are gentle and positive. You won’t have to worry about using leash corrections or harsh handling.
For each behavior taught, you will see the “finished product” demonstrated by one of my own dogs.
This will give you a clear picture of what the exercise will look like once you have taught it to your dog.

Our goal is to help you have a great relationship with your dog.

You will achieve this using a fun and functional dog training program
that is based on mutual respect and trust!

We show you how to start teaching your dog not to pull on leash and how to keep him from jumping on people.

Being Pro-active in your dog training

Teaching the Stay and the Leave-it are only effective if you keep proofing the skill.

We also put some of the exercises together to further proof their reliability with your dog.

Week # 5

Introduction to Week #5

Instant down
Go to your bed
Final Discussion

In this last week of dog training, you and your dog have gotten a lot of training practice together. We then teach you how to advance those attention exercises with your dog, how to teach your dog to “go to his bed” when told, and we also teach you how get your dog to lie down using a verbal command only. By this time your dog will have had a lot of training and so you are just raising the criteria on some of the commands he has learned in previous weeks.
