This is a very good, inexpensive training tool and essential for every home dog trainer. I have used many Dog Trainers' methods and programs; for the money, this one is the best. Some trainers charge up to $1200 for the same (or less quality) training. For a mere $65, this video series will help you with everything you need for producing a wonderfully trained and obedient dog - even if it is an older dog. Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
