I recently reviewed a set on online dog training videos created by a young Hollywood dog trainer named Dove Cresswell. When I watched them, it struck me again how very useful videos and DVDs are for learning dog training techniques. You can watch a segment over and over till you really get it. Much as I love books, I really see the advantages of watching a program!

Here’s the link to my review of the set of dog training videos featuring Dove Cresswell. On that page, a ways down, there are links to reviews I did of three of the short videos:

* Puppy House Training / Potty Training

* Dog Obedience Training

* Crate Training

I think these would be outstanding to use with children, but you don’t have to be a kid to appreciate clear, basic instruction. One neat feature is that once you’ve bought them you can view the videos from any computer (assuming you can remember your username and password), so you can be at a friend’s house and watch them together.
