"I use this video frequently to introduce individuals and families with children to the fun of using a clicker to train a puppy. Children enjoy watching the cute puppies and parents can see how easy and safe the methods are. Viewers can see the communication that quickly develops between the puppies and the child trainers. The footage clearly shows how successful the children can be in a very short amount of time. The DVD comes with a printed supplement that gives important instructions on proper use of the clicker to train a pup. The bonus clips on the DVD include among others, more training tips and a useful segment on the basics of dog body language called "Speak Dog". I show this segment when doing dog bite prevention education sessions with children and their parents. I am a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant and I find this DVD to be top notch."
Just the thing for kids--and their parents--to get started t

"This engaging DVD shows children clicker training puppies and makes the method accessible and appealing. People of any age will learn the basics quickly and be able to get started training their pets. As with everything produced by Doggone Safe, safety is stressed. This is a wonderful resource for families with young children!"

"I recently viewed this video with my daughter who got her first Aussie a couple of weeks ago. It was perfect for a beginner. I appreciated the demonstrations and am excited to see her get started with it.
Thanks"
Excellent Introductory DVD!

"I *LOVE* this DVD! Both as a professional trainer, and as a breeder (Australian Shepherds, 15+ years) I think this is a fantastic DVD for introducing the concept of clicker training. It isn't an actual 'training' DVD (as in, this is how you teach 'heel', this is how you teach 'drop on recall'), but does teach a few behaviors while introducing the concept of clicker training & reinforcement. The emotional appeal of young children and adorable puppies are sure to hold people's interest. Plus, it shows that clicker training is so easy, even kids can do it! I like this DVD so much that I give it to each of my puppy families in their 'puppy pack'.

"Clicking is such a simple concept that it was actually difficult for me to grasp at first. Children are much more receptive; so the beauty in this is it's simplicity. Because most of my golden puppies go to homes with children, early foundation is essential. Getting and keeping the attention of both the child and/or the puppy can be difficult. This is fun and instructional and has huge rewards going forward. I recommend it to all my puppy buyers."
