Finishing Work: Reducing the Frequency of Rewards and the Use of Punishment with Michael Ellis DVD This DVD will cover how to prepare your dog for a competition. People have asked, "What kind of competition?" The answer is every type of dog sport competition. This new DVD will teach people who train with markers (conditioned reinforcement) how to wean their dog off food rewards and/or toy rewards in preparation for taking their dog into any dog sport competition. This is an extremely importan

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 web site and listen to Michael's 7 part lecture on his method of dog training. The foundation for the work in this focused heeling DVD is covered in the 9 1/2 hours of instruction fea

I have been around higher levels of dog training for a long long time and thought I knew a thing or two about how to play tug with your dog. When I started to go to Michael Ellis' seminars I found out there was an entirely different side to this work - a better side. Since 1982 I have produced a lot of training DVDs, but hands down the ones I have done (and am doing) with Michael are the ones I am most proud of. These DVDs are going to make a dramatic difference on how people live with and tr

The majority of dog owners only use their leash when taking their dog for a walk. A large number of those people are being pulled down the street each and every time they attempt to walk their dog. No one enjoys this experience, which is why we have produced this DVD on how to use your leash as a tool to communicate with your dog. Through a process called "leash pressure," we can teach the dog how to politely walk on the leash by implementing the skill we call "Loose Leash Walking." Three of

Our new DVD with Michael Ellis was finished on June 18th of 2010. It is at our DVD duplicator and expected to ship in the middle of July. We had hoped to ship it sooner but our June seminar and Mondio Trail at leerburg took more of our time than expected. The DVD is 3 hours long and It is by far the most comprehensive step-by-step training DVD on teaching a dog to retrieve that we have ever seen. It will replace both of our previous retrieval training DVDs. If you are a student of marker t

The production of this DVD was finished in December of 2010. It's by far the best step-by-step training video on how to teach your dog to jump that we have ever seen. Michael Ellis' system of dog training has its foundation in marker training (operant conditioning). When Michael teaches the jumps, it is all done through motivational methods, there are no corrections. The foundation for all of Michael's training is covered in The Power of Training Dogs with Food and The Power of Playing Tug wi

The editing on this DVD was finished by Ed Frawley on January 14th, 2011. It is 2 hours and 50 minutes long. The DVD opens with an excellent lecture on the concept and training steps for the send away by Michael Ellis. This lecture was filmed at Michael's school on advanced obedience in California. There is a chapter on working with puppies and a chapter on when to use touch pads vs a toy. There will also be a chapter on training the whistle back (for the ring sports). There is an excellent s

This per view video is being offered for its' historical significance. The methods shown work for a very specific type of dog. This video deals with Schutzhund and AKC jump training. We have combined the best training techniques from Schutzhund in Germany, Agility in England and AKC obedience here in America.

This DVD covers a foundation for nosework with your dog taught by trainer Andrew Ramsey. Nosework is a new dog sport where individuals can train their household pet to detect legal odors. It is 100% motivational training and has absolutely no corrections at any level of work. Training segments for this DVD: -What's Needed to Get Started -Training Lab -Three Nosework Terms -Handler/Trainer Relationship -First Steps of Training -Toy Reward vs. Food Reward -De-sensitizing Your Dog to Tr

Training the motivational retrieve has evolved over the past 20 years. This video was produced in the late 1990's with Bernhard Flinks from Germany. Back then the methods shown in this video were new to most dog trainers. The kind of dogs suited to the motivational retrieve are those dogs that do well on Bernhard's drive building work. These are dogs that have good prey drive. A dog must have prey drive if it is to MAKE THE DEAL with the handler. I have to say that not all dogs can be trai

This will be the second training DVD that Leerburg has done on nosework with Andrew Ramsey. Our first DVD covered the foundation of Nosework training. If you don't have that DVD, you can go to our web page for The Foundation of Nosework and see a very detailed outline of what the training video covered. The goal of this training video is to cover Andrew Ramsey's methods for teaching obedience to odor and a focused response. Both of these are very important skills that every detector dog s

This DVD was produced back in 1999 with Bernhard Flinks. Bernhard is a German Police K9 handler. In the past 10 years training concepts and methods have changed. In my opinion marker training (read my free ebook on markers) has taken over the world of dog training and this video does not involve markers. I continue to offer the DVD because it does have merit as a different form of dog training. The majority of the work in this DVD uses a ball-on-string as a reward. Ten years after produ
