My dog only has food drive, will the training in your focused heeling DVD work with him?

I'm interested in the Focused Heeling DVD, I have a few questions. My dog only has food drive, although it's a very strong food drive. Will this be a problem for that training? Will tugs be involved in the Focused Heeling training? Your site has jute tugs that can be filled with food, would that be a good thing to use to teach my terrier mix to like tugs? I'm also wondering if the DVD would be good for dog owners not engaged in any competition heeling.

This video answered directly my question; my dog has very strong food drive but easily loses tug interest. For that reason, I especially appreciated Mr. Ellis's amplification on very strong food drive dogs not having strong tug training drive (usually). Our dog likes to play, which is fun but I haven't found anything yet to use directly in training.
