Developing a Problem Solving Puppy

I watched this video for the first time years ago. As a professional dog trainer who owns my own business, I still utilize many of the concepts I learned here regularly in my puppy classes. However, I never left a review until now. Here's why I'm leaving one now:

We recently got my 7 year old son an English springer spaniel puppy. He has grown up around dogs and dog training and knows a bit about how to handle and train already. We have been working with him and the puppy since day one. For the most part, they do really well, however, he is still only 7 and sometimes doesn't quite "get it." I turned this video on for him the other day while I was working on school homework with his younger brother, and it held his full attention for almost 1.5 hours when I finally turned it off! What's more, he came away excited to work with his puppy and I was able to see him implement what he learned immediately as I saw a huge immediate improvement in his communication and handling. (most notably, entering and exiting the crate have improved dramatically!!) I am so shocked and pleased. Hopefully, this video has helped jumpstart the beginning of a lifetime of the love of training!

Very useful information for me and my 11-month-old retriever mix because we will be starting basic agility next month, and I didn't realize the important of crate games or body awareness challenges. It gave me a lot more options for fun training games to play. My puppy gets bored doing the same basic obedience drills and likes problem solving games way more. 5 stars for Ann and team! Thanks Ann!

nice but , could be better thanks.

This video is excellent, instructions and demonstrations were very detailed and made it easy to understand the underlining reason for the method of training.

I was a bit disappointed with this video. Lots and lots of talking before demonstrating behaviors being taught. I also felt it was more beginning agility skills as opposed to problem solving.

I attended Ann's seminar last fall with my puppy. This DVD was just like I was at the seminar again.
I picked up on more information by watching it (this time I wasn't distracted by my puppy). Over the last year, I have used many of the tips that Ann has taught me with my multi sport dog.
