Karen Pryor, Getting Started: Clicker Training Kit for Puppys

Before we got our puppy Olive I think I read every puppy / dog training book on the market. The Clicker Puppy DVD is a little amateurish, but despite that, it was probably one of the best things I purchased before we got our puppy. A few five-minute training sessions a day and I had Olive performing sit, down, etc on command days after bringing her home. Also, the DVD shows how to help you teach basic manners easily. Using the clicker is weird at first, but once Olive got it she would quickly start trying things to get the click and the reward. I used pieces of her kibble as a reward when she was a puppy. Using what was shown in the DVD I was able to use the clicker to train all sorts of things based on the confidence of how well the techniques worked. The DVD is the star of this kit, but the rest is good enough. I bought this for myself and later when I found out my Dad was getting a puppy I still ordered the kit instead of just the DVD. I plan on buying this kit for anyone I know who is getting a puppy.

DVD is very basic and not very polished but does provide good starter info. Book a bit higher level. Clicker was defective so e-mailed mfg. and they responded next day back and mailed a new one right out (two in fact great customer service). Amazon's price was best of any seller including mfg.

I liked that this came as a "kit" but in the end you really don't need it all. I liked the DVD the best, it showed you how easy it is for anyone, even a 5-year-old to train a dog. The flash cards are cute but they end up getting stuffed in a drawer. If it is possible just buy the DVD and the clicker (if there is any price difference that is).

Being a complete novice at dog training I was skeptical but with two new Australian Shepherd puppies and unable to afford training classes I was willing to try anything. As advertised the puppies responded within minutes of the first session. Thought I would put it to the real test and try it on my four year old mini daschund. She was a bit more stubborn but still responded in the first session. I liked how the training shown on the DVD was done with completely untrained dogs/puppies and used children as the trainers to show how easy it can be. The product description didn't clearly explain that some of the techniques are much easier with more than one person but so far I'm pleasantly surprised. In one week the puppies have quit jumping on people when they come in, sit on command and are starting to come when called. Hopefully the results in the next few weeks will be equally impressive.
