 Great training DVD Dec 09, 2009
By M. White
This is a great DVD, it shows how to correctly use a remote collar and also shows that this type of training puts less stress on the dog than using a choke collar. I have seen people at local obedience classes dragging their dogs around with a choke collar and giving them leash corrections and they don't seem to achieve the level of traing desired after even 8 weeks. With this DVD you can see how effective and humane this type of training can be. I have always been against shock collars but I have a GSD with a high prey drive and turned to a shock collar after trying many obedience classes and other training DVDs. After watching this DVD, it has changed my opinion and would definately recommend it over dragging your dog around with a choke collar, which can cause damage to the dog over time. Also, to comment on the other review, Ed's dogs did not appear fearful of him at all.

A MUST HAVE FOR ANY DOG OWNER Mar 25, 2011
By genesrus
I was very surprised to find this listed on amazon. Amazing how much they have grown. I bought this directly from Leerburg Kennels (the author) and think that every dog owner would learn something from this video. I wrote the longest review on dog collars for amazon (and am not quite done yet) and mentioned that if someone is buying a dog collar they MUST GET THIS.
At the outset I noticed that an individual has rated this as a 1 star in these reviews. Clearly we have to agree to disagree. I volunteer at a shelter and have two rescues and cannot help but wonder if the reviewer isn't misguided in his/her opinions. Our Shepherd-mix is a rescue and we have had her for about 6 years. I had thought of an e-collar because of how aggressive our shepherd is but kept putting it off. I even went as far as getting a crappy collar (still sits in its original packaging) from Petco for some $200 and never used it because of the comments of trainers and folks like the reviewer on here who use the term shock collar in the pejorative.
About a year ago we found a dog that had been left to die in the winter. He is a small fellow (at the time about 19 lbs - all skin and bones when we found him). We knew that we had an uphill battle getting our big dog to get along with the little fellow. Luckily we were able to introduce them gradually (a long story in itself). Given the urgency of what we had on our hands I decided to research e-collars and that was when I ran across this video and the Leerburg kennels website (a great resource).
This video really explains how to go about using this tool, which can be misused through ignorance. Had I not seen this video and decided to just get the Tri-Tronics Pro200 G2 Exp collar I would have misused it. The ultimate goal is for the dog to recognize when you say `No'- you want it to stop what it is doing. I combine this with the `come' command. When the dog comes to me it gets a treat. I ALWAYS carry a pouch with treats and whenever the dogs check-in with me on a walk I give them a treat. The NO command is associated with a shock, WHEN, the Shepherd does not stop what it is doing within HALF A SECOND of me saying NO. I deeply regret not having bought an e-collar and this dvd when we first adopted our Shepherd. She has an amazingly high prey drive (SHE WOULD MAKE AN INCREDIBLE WORKING DOG) and is very very intelligent. Given her incredible focus, without the e-collar, she has hurt my wife, breaking bones, yanking her down a hill etc. At the shelter I see people abandon their dogs, especially powerful breeds, because they simply cannot handle them. E-collars are a tool to prevent things from getting to this stage and this video shows you how to use them. If you are reading this I suspect you need help with your dog. Most people don't have aggressive dogs but have opinions on how to train them! People that THINK they know how to train a dog with a high prey drive should meet a K-9 and then they might see the value of an e-collar. Most importantly, if you are thinking of getting rid of your dog, PLEASE WATCH THIS AND TRY AN E-COLLAR.

Excellent product!! Jul 06, 2011
By Franklin
I purchased this DVD yesterday through Leerburg.com and I must say that I am highly impressed by the wealth of information that Ed gives you in his video. Before watching this video I saw Robin Macfalane's Just Right DVD and I was not slightly impressed by her teachings. Ed shows much more experience, knowledge, and expertise in dog training and teaches you how to effectively train your dog step-by-step using real dogs in need of training. He explains everything very clearly so that you can take his teachings even further and teach your dog your OWN tricks and desired behavior. This is the only DVD that will fully teach you how to effectively and properly use a remote collar.
A+ product! I highly recommend that everyone watch this DVD before even introducing your dog to a remote collar.

A No Brainer Sep 30, 2011
By FlashInPan
I recently purchased a Dogtra remote training collar. A great product, but there is zero instruction included with the collar as far as how to use it for training. It basically just goes over the electronic operation of the product, how to turn it on, how to charge it, etc. The bottom line is, if you buy an e-collar and don't get this DVD, you are a fool. If you are willing to make the major investment in a collar, and don't see the value in purchasing some kind of training for it, I feel sorry for your dog.

By Monique D. Bridges
This video explains very well the use of the remote collar. I recommend watching this video before even thinking about using the collar on your dog.
