I have a 7 month old male. He is very submissive and is doing very well overall. Do you think for someone like me your basic DVD would be recommended?

Ed,

Very informative web site (A level). Although I did catch a typo which you may want to address.

I have a 7 month old mini long hair male doxie. He is very submissive and is doing very well overall. I been using TRAIN YOUR DOG THE POSITIVE WAY DVD and wanted to go a little further. My main concern is off leash fun. I do take him off leash (in parks and such) and he pretty much follows me everywhere but sometimes he is slow to come to me when called or just stops and looks at me when I ask him to come. He is also average on the leash however is making strides as he would not even walk on the leash a month ago. Not a puller. He just stops walking sometimes. I have to lure him with a treat and lots of encouragement and that usually gets the ball rolling and once the ball is rolling he is very good with loose leash walking until the cycle repeats itself. Ok, that is my background aside from the fact that I am a first time dog owner.

Do you think for someone like me your basic DVD would be recommended or do you have another suggestion?

What are your thoughts.

Thank You.
