Why Buy a Dog Training DVD?
Research shows that the popular books, videos and DVDs presently available for stock dog training is breed specific (usually to Border Collies and strong-eyed working dogs), and that there is a need for more generalized information for training all breeds of stock dogs.
The Downriver dog training DVDs fulfill this need! Our DVDs present information for training All Breed Herding Dogs. They are specific to upright, loose-eyed breeds. They outline ideas on how to handle problems that are common with these breeds. Each DVD shows many different demonstrations by several different breeds.
"These videos are exactly what I wanted in a herding video; they showcase problems we all run into and ways to help our dogs. I like the format of the videos: seeing many examples of different exercises run by many different breeds." -Bonnie Young
These DVDs were designed to teach dog handlers how to utilize their dog to move or control livestock quietly without stressing the livestock. They are designed for new handlers. They teach handlers how to control livestock in different situations and how to predict these situations. The DVDs will help the viewer create a plan for training their dog.
"The videos are just like having the clinic all over again. Except you can slow them down, rewind and pause. You have too many things to remember at a clinic, this video was so nice because I can go back and review and continue to learn at home." -Barb Freer
