Micheal Ellis
Hi Guys,
Have any of you purchased Michael Ellis's training DVD's thru Leerburg? His DVD's are 65 dollars, I do not mind paying 65 but want to know if they are worth it. Thanks Schering |

I have a couple of his DVDs, including the one on Focused Heeling and Playing Tug with your Dog. I think they're definitely worth the money. Each of them is several hours long and essentially a filmed version of a Michael Ellis seminar - so you get to see him explain the techniques, answer questions, and watch people who have never done it try it with his dogs, with Michael correcting what they are doing wrong. I found the latter very helpful as it keeps me from making the same mistakes.
The DVDs are definitely much less expensive than a Michael Ellis seminar, too.

I have several of the Leerburg newsletters that include Michael Ellis training videos - his methods are very similar to ours - I like him.

I also highly recommend them. As far as training programs that can be obtained in any sort of media format (as opposed to hands on) I think they are absolutely amongst the best out there.

Ellis is a great trainer. If you are new to his system, be sure to start with his first DVD: "Power of training your dog with food" because that's where you will get a good understanding of how he uses "markers" in training.

I have to agree with everyone else. I have all his DVDs, and I used them for foundation work with Cues. I couldn't be happier with the results.
