From the DVD description:

Some people talk about how much drive their dogs have, but when we look closer many of these dogs have wild hectic drive. These are not easy dogs to train or live with. This video teaches you how to train a dog to control his drive. We teach dogs that if they display self control while in drive they will be rewarded for the proper behavior.

"Wild & hectic" perfectly describes my 19months old JRT. He'll frantically run after toys I toss for him. On the other hand, he'll chase cars too, and to a much bigger extent, other animals. If he sees a moving target, he wants to chase it. If he's leashed. He'll drag/pull, and sometimes bark his frustration.

I know some of the above problems can be corrected with "manner teaching". While correcting him with a prong when he tries to drag me to grab a cat will stop him from doing it, you can tell he remains very frustrated that I'm not letting him go. He'll actually sit, and stares at his "target" and whine/give high pitched barks until I move him out of its sight and give him a couple minutes to settle down.

I'd like him to care less about other critters and more about me. But being a JRT, it's me vs his genetics... This DVD seems to be a good start on getting the necessary information for building up a better bond with my dog, as well as controling his obsessive prey drive.

I've read other posts of people here saying that working their dog's drive actually caused it to chase even more things. Someone said his dog killed a squirrel, and another one's tried to take child toy out of his hand. I'm concerned I might create a monster if I make any mistake.

My dog is a family pet, and I have a 4months old baby. I don't want him to chase her around when she begins to walk, much less try to grab her... I'd like to know if doing the exercises of this DVD will help my dog vent his frustration/energy or, on the contrary, if it can potentially boost his prey drive even more and give me even more trouble.

Ideally(in an really utopic world), I want him to understand that chasing stuff happens when I toss something, and raising hell to ask me to let him run at that cat won't get him anywhere.

Can someone who got the video tell me if its content will help me achieve this ?

Thanks!
