This is our third in the Michael Ellis series of training DVDs. We feel it's the best one yet. The training information in this video is revolutionary in the world of dog training. Michael's motivational system of training dogs is based in marker training. You can visit the FREE streaming video section of our website and listen to Michael's philosophy of dog training. The foundation for the work in this focused heeling DVD is covered in the 9 1/2 hours of instruction featured in our two earlier DVDs that were done with Michael. The Power of Training Dogs with Food The Power of Playing Tug with Your Dog. The old "yank and crank" methods of training heeling have gone by the wayside. The fact is a good portion of the training in this DVD can be done without a leash and without corrections. In fact introducing corrections are the very last step in focused heeling.

Love It!
Great video on how to get a professional heel. Minimal props needed - a wall, treats, and a target to stand on. Discusses motivation and how to get your dog to want to work - and when/why to stop them if they're done for that training session.Nicely done, and I most especially love that they included footage of non-trainers in there making mistakes! (Or perhaps they were dog trainers learning a new method of teaching the heel.) Very helpful to anyone not a dog trainer by trade, and a nice alternative way to teach the heel.While anyone could probably learn from this video, it is probably geared towards people that have some experience training with their dogs already, or at least read up a bit first. I wouldn't hand this to a complete novice, but it is not a hard method to grasp, either.Mr. Ellis can move closer to me anytime...would love to attend his school for dog trainers! LOL!

Poor job on filming
Camera man needs to learn how to work the camera if Leerberg expects to charge $65 for their videos. Bad angles where you can't see what is actually being shown. Looks like the camera man is sitting on the floor while Ellis is talking & the huge lights on the ceiling are right next to his head causing a blur & it's annoying to watch. Other shots the camera is all over the place or the subjects backs are to the camera making it difficult to see what's going on. I've purchased 3 videos from Leerberg so far & most likely will look for them used as I think $65 is to high for the quality being offered.

Good dvd but has issues
I bought this directly from leerburg and for the most part thought it was a very good tool for teaching heeling. My disappointment is not with the info presented but the quality of the DVD. Some segments were shown twice but in different chapters and the audio in segments was very poor. Overall still worth watching.

Best training DVD out there!
The info and approach delivered on this dvd is by far the best info available. Outside of hiring an actual professional trainer this is the best info! It works plain and simple.
