What reviewers are saying...

APDT CHRONICLE OF THE DOG
“Acclaimed Canadian dog trainer and accomplished agility competitor Susan Garrett has given us the best thing since the creation of crates and Kongs. Crate Games proves that crates need not be limited to their historical roles in housetraining and management. Rather, crates can fulfill their real potential as opportunities for reinforcement. Very affordably priced, this 85-minute DVD should be a stocking stuffer for every new puppy owner.

The “self control and motivation” part of the DVD’s title captures the essence of Garrett’s message. By shaping a dog’s desire to go into the crate and not come out until verbally released, owners hone their training skills in applying clear criterion to a training exercise while the dog practices self control. Practiced according to the rules of Crate Games, owners produce a dog who is also quite motivated to get back into the crate. From an agility trainer’s perspective it is the combination of self control and motivation that makes this DVD a winner. Garrett believes that a team’s ability to master the various elements outlined in Crate Games is a strong predictor of that team’s ability to adhere to criterion for two-on-two-off contact obstacle performance. If that’s not motivation enough for an agility trainer, I don’t know what is! Garrett starts by listing 20 benefits to training Crate Games. About half apply to pet owners and the other half focus on performance dogs.

The DVD is broken into four main stages of training: Stage 1, I Love My Crate: Covers the basics of reinforcing the dog for being in the crate Stage 2, Are You a Gambler?: Presents the dog with choices in order to reinforce correct choices and give feedback about incorrect ones. Stage 3, Yer Out – Yer In: Tests the dog’s love of the crate by releasing him from the crate and waiting to see if he will go back in. Stage 4, Scholarly Elements: Covers adding a cue, adding distance, how to use the crate to do motivational recalls, adding distractions, and how to apply the lessons learned to other situations (e.g., agility start lines). My only criticism with Crate Games was that the only footage dedicated to shaping a dog to go into the crate initially was buried way back in the Troubleshooting section under the chapter about overcoming fear. The only reference to it didn’t come until the very end of the DVD. Demonstrating the shaping process in an earlier section would avoid people pushing and prodding their dogs, and would help them learn about the art of shaping, the core training technique used in the DVD.

The theme of Crate Games is training should create “value” for what you are teaching and good training provides the dog choices. The tone is upbeat throughout and it’s clear from the great variety and number of dogs used to demonstrate the concepts that the dogs are having a great time. Whether someone is an agility trainer looking for fun ways to create self control as well as build drive (yes, it can be done!) or a pet owner looking to train a dog to willingly go into their crate at bedtime, Crate Games delivers.” Terry Long

Winner of the 2009 Maxwell Award from the Dog Writers Association of America for Best CD/DVD

Coming when called is probably the most important behavior you can teach your dog. It's about security, freedom, and can even be life-saving! (Recall your dog from deer, or the infamous "wild goose chase".) This DVD is outlined for a 5 week program of training your dog to come to a whistle. Nominated for the prestigious 2009 Dog Writer's Association of America Writing Contest.

Pam includes a Whistle with a lanyard. "Whistle can be heard for at least a half mile."

Not surprising that Pam has developed an innovative way to help us keep our dogs safe! This invaluable DVD will lead us all to improve our handling skills, communication and relationship with our dogs. Too many times we see the unfortunate fate of a dog being chased while the owner is frantically running and screaming at their dog to come to them. Pam's "positive motivation" mindset, skills and practices on this DVD could, very well, save your dog's life! I loved the part where Shadow, Beau and Emma were swimming in the lake, Pam whistled for them and all three flew right to her - amazing! Thank you, Pam, for sharing this with all of us and caring about what we share with our beloved pets! —Ann Ford, Hagerstown, MD

The DVD is terrific and the whistles are really pretty. I am so impressed. You even covered the topic of multiple dogs, which I find some trainers seem to leave out. Excellent step-by-step information. Great job and thank you so much! —Lola C.

"THE WHISTLE RECALL is a treasure and a bargain - complete with a whistle! It's a very accessible and straightforward DVD that breaks down the steps to achieving a successful recall, valuable for those with multiple dog households, for those who hike with dogs as well as those who walk off leash in larger suburban and city parks. In between actual training sessions, Pam offers clear written instructions recapping each step, demonstrating how anyone can have success with this method. With a running time of under 30 minutes long, anyone who trains dogs can utilize this method and learn it very quickly." --Peg Munves, CPDT

From Pam Dennison - "Although I do practice the whistle recall all of the time, *I* am still surprised sometimes at how well my own dogs listen and respond to it. A few weeks ago, Emma had a baby groundhog in her mouth and was shaking it!!! Scared me horribly! I whistled and she SPIT IT OUT and came flying to me. The second best part is that I had a witness :o)" - Pam Dennison

Anyone dealing with aggressive dogs, shelter dogs, or investigating dog bites will find this DVD invaluable. It explains the dog-human and dog-dog bite hierarchies with thorough descriptions of the bites, mitigating and aggravating factors (and other factors) using photographs, charts, case studies and analysis notes.

Understanding the potential damage a dog is likely to do in future aggressive incidents is one of the most important skills you can have when working with behavior problems. Building on the work begun by Dr. Ian Dunbar in categorizing dog bites through the use of a linear hierarchy and consulting with a veterinary behaviorist, emergency room veterinarian, emergency room physician, general practice physician, and many experts in the field of canine behavior, Cara Shannon presents comprehensive bite hierarchies for analyzing bites to humans and bites to other dogs. She then uses photos and case studies to help consultants gain fluency in applying the hierarchy to actual cases and bites.

ALSO INCLUDED ON THE SUPPLEMENTAL CD:
* Hierarchy Charts and Note Cards
* Case Studies and Analysis Notes
* Sample Veterinary Release Forms
* Sample History Forms

“Wow! Cara’s credentials give this DVD credibility and she really did her homework. Good stuff for every instructor’s breadth and depth of knowledge.” - Terry Ryan, author "Coaching People to Train Their Dogs"

“From an eight-level bite hierarchy to factors affecting intensity of bruising, Cara Shannon has created a useful structure for canine professionals who seek an in-depth assessment tool for dog bites.” - Nicole Wilde, CPDT-KA, author “Getting a Grip on Aggression Cases”

"Cara Shannon’s DVD “Bad to the Bone” represents a major step forward in the analysis and treatment of dog bite behavior. Clear and easy to understand, the video presentation and accompanying resource material will be invaluable to consultants in their work with families and their dogs." - Jim Barry, CDBC, CPDT-KA, author "The Ethical Dog Trainer"; Co-author, "Positive Gun Dogs"

What can be better for the world of animal behavior! This is the true story of the evolution of the science of operant conditioning and contains rarely seen footage of pioneers in this field at work. Patient Like The Chipmunks (PLTC) is a documentary combined with the personal details that only the people who were "there" can bring you. Here is the story of Animal Behavior Enterprises (ABE) and its founders Keller and Marian Breland (and later Bob Bailey) and how their work revolutionized animal training through the first commercial application of the then-new operant conditioning science and technology invented by the Harvard Professor of Psychology B. F. Skinner's.

PLTC tells how operant conditioning and applied animal behavior became a powerful, practical and useful behavioral technology in our understanding of animal behavior. PLTC chronicles this history, through incredible photographs and film footage, showing the Brelands' first lessons training pigeons to guide bombs during World War II, and the Baileys' pioneering work with free-flying birds and free-swimming dolphins more than three decades ago. Together, the Brelands and the Baileys trained thousands of individual animals and over 140 different species including humans. PTLC is for animal trainers, including dog trainers, psychologists, students, historians, and anyone interested in the early development of modern day animal training methods.
