SIRIUS PUPPY TRAINING by Ian Dunbar 2007 James & Kenneth Publishers DVD The original puppy training video and still. . . “the leader of the pack.” Voted BEST VIDEO (2000, 2001 & 2002) by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Learn the gentle and enjoyable methods of off-leash training and socialization that made the SIRIUS philosophy the international standard in companion dog training. Dr. Dunbar developed SIRIUS classes in 1981, so his Malamute puppy could go to school.

At that time, of the 50 dog training schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. . . NONE would allow puppies until they were six months to a year old. SIRIUS Puppy Training redefined and revolutionized dog training. Before SIRIUS there were no puppy classes, and virtually no food lures and rewards in training. The SIRIUS methods have been adopted and adapted by most caring dog trainers worldwide.

This DVD is written and hosted by veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and author Dr. Ian Dunbar – the creator of off-leash puppy classes, which sparked the revolution for positive, reward-based dog-friendly dog training. Dr. Dunbar is the founder of several dog training organizations, including th Center for Applied Animal Behavior; the Association of Pet Dog Trainers – the largest and most influential worldwide association of professional pet dog trainers; and SIRIUS Puppy Training – the Original Puppy Training School.

“SIRIUS Puppy Training is the video which changed dog training. It remains the best video on positive methods and early socialization available today.” Jean Donaldson, author of The Culture Clash –Jean Donaldson, author of The Culture Clash
