56 Videos | 2 hours on The Power of Training Dogs with Food by Michael Ellis. This material in this online course was produced in 2007. While the old course contained good information it was 17 years old and needed to be updated and expanded. The new course was done by Ed Frawley and has 120 videos and is 5 1/2 hours long. This is almost 3 times the amount of information that was in the original course.

This course has 93 videos and is over 6 hours long. The come command is not a conditional behavior. This means when the training is finished, the dog doesn't get to choose whether or not it wants to obey. It learns that it must come every time or there will be meaningful consequences. This is the only command we approach in this manner.

This course will teach students why engagement is the foundation for all dog training. Students will learn why engagement should be the foundation for every pet dog training program. Those students who want to get involved in any dog sport will learn why engagement needs to be the motor that drives their training program.

The majority of dog owners only use their leash when taking their dog for a walk. A large number of those people are being pulled down the street each and every time they attempt to walk their dog. No one enjoys this experience, which is why we have produced this course on how to use your leash as a tool to communicate with your dog. Through a process called "leash pressure," we can teach the dog how to politely walk on the leash by implementing the skill we call "Loose Leash Walking."
