Expanded Description:
(Publisher sticker sometimes comes loose but DVD has not been opened.)
The original puppy training video and still "the leader of the pack." Voted BEST VIDEO (2000, 2001 & 2002) by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Learn the gentle and enjoyable methods of off-leash training and socialization that made the SIRIUS philosophy the international standard in companion dog training. Dr. Dunbar developed SIRIUS classes in 1981, so his Malamute puppy could go to school. At that time, of the 50 dog training schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, NONE would allow puppies until they were six months to a year old. SIRIUS Puppy Training redefined and revolutionized dog training. Before SIRIUS there were no puppy classes, and virtually no food lures and rewards in training. The SIRIUS methods have been adopted and adapted by most caring dog trainers worldwide. |

| Excellent Training Tool, September 16, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Taylor |
| The BEST tool for the family with a new puppy! We have used this for our Second Dobbie as a pup 10 years ago. His recent passing has left us with a sadness that is now filled with joy by Max, a Dobbie pup. This vidio will get a work out along with the puppy training classes in our area. The 1st time around we as a family watched and learned the best correction methods, becoming a team to help train Bo. This time around, our family is using the video in conjuction with the Kennelwood's puppy training class. I would recommend this video, it taught our children the importance of treating the dog with love and the bEST responses to consistantly use in Pups training. Great even for young children to follow. |

| Terrific start for a new puppy!, January 7, 2004 |
| Reviewer: rosana@training-dogs.com |
I got this video some 7 years ago to train our Basenji pup, and it was a great help. At the time, I had no idea that Dr. Ian Dunbar was one of greatest dog trainers around. Turns out the video has won numerous awards and is quite a best-seller.
I watched it again recently, and was struck again by how useful it is.
Many of the people taking the puppy training class are children themselves -- some look as young as four or five years old. This would be an excellent video for children to watch. Both kids and adults can benefit from watching Sirius Puppy Training several times.
I think that even people with a fair amount of dog experience would benefit from Sirius Puppy Training -- unless they have already watched other videos of Ian Dunbar's. I'm a great book lover, but the video gives you a lot that you couldn't get from his (or anyone's) books.
This video does not use clicker training, but it is based on the same principles as clicker training, so it is very compatible with that approach. Also note that it is designed for puppies under the age of 18 weeks without major behavior problems. |

| surprising harshness, September 28, 2009 |
| Reviewer: c. sobol |
I recently acquired this DVD to have on hand for neighbours and friends who might otherwise be led astray by public-sphere dog training of the flavour of what is found on TV shows these days and felt confident that Ian Dunbar would be a good solid choice.
I was surprised and dismayed when I watched this and saw Ian shouting loudly at pups, encouraging small children to do so, and teaching owners to aggressively 'hit' the noses of pups to teach them 'off'. I also noted that the video did a poorer job than I had hoped at explaining what to do at home, and taught more by showing than explaining or laying out stepwise the how-to of training.
Granted, this DVD would certainly be better than nothing, and Dunbar was way ahead of his time at the time of production. Certainly, many of the techniques he uses in 1981 have not changed and are still in use now, but I am sure Dunbar himself has mellowed his training style over time. I will not be recommending this DVD to first-time dog owners struggling to find a way to communicate with their dogs: it is my feeling that there are much better gentler DVDs on the market these days. |
