Dog Training: The John Fisher Way
When it comes to dog training, recent developments have improved the lot of our canine companions dramatically. Since the 1990’s a kinder, more reward-based approach has replaced the more severe training methods, such as the choke chain, that were once acceptable punishments for doggy misdemeanors.

One of the greatest exponents of this new approach to dog training was John Fisher, a pet behavior counselor, who really understood what made even the most uncontrollable dog tick. With such books as Why Does My Dog? and Think Dog! he encouraged owners to see their training techniques from the dog’s point of view, and the results were phenomenally successful.

This program has been designed to bring you the very best of John Fisher’s dog training methods, to help you establish a good relationship with your dog from day one. Beginning with puppies, selecting the right breed for your lifestyle and early socialization. The program will then take you through every aspect of pet dog care, helping you to avoid the most common problems that arise. Prevention truly is better than cure, and Dog Training The John Fisher Way provides everything that you need to know to enjoy life with your dog to the fullest.

-What Makes Your Dog Tick?
-How To View Training From Your Dog’s Point Of View
-How To Establish A Great Relationship With Your Pooch, from Day One

Customer Review: A Dog of a DVD
I have watched several dog training DVDs and this clearly falls dead last. The video bears little connection to the narrative so you might as well consider it a book on tape. Even then, it will not provide you much practical information on how to train your dog. With the plethora of other options out there, even if they are a bit more expensive, it is worth spending a little more to get something useful.

Customer Review: Not worth it
Boring! All this time is spent during the DVD talking about the John Fisher technique, but not really showing you anything specific. Lots of great video shots of dogs romping about with their owners and shots of classes being conducted, all being voiced over about the ‘great john fisher technique’. Who cares! I didn’t order the video so that I could go look for a trainer who trains with this technique, I ordered it so that I could train my own dog. So little instructional information was given and the video was so boring, me and my dogs fell asleep watching it. What a waste!

The Art of Nature: Jellies (Jellyfish Aquarium DVD)
Delicate tendrils of color sway and pulse with the rhythms of the sea in this spectacular collection of captivating jellyfish. Filmed in stunning High Definition at the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, home to a remarkable array of ocean exhibits, The Art of Nature: Jellies is a vibrant exploration of the beauty of life and the sea.
Customer Review: SPECTACULAR
I purchased this DVD at the Monterey Bay Aquarium after seeing their jellyfish exhibits and can tell you the dvd on a large screen TV looks better than the real exhibit at the aquarium. Simply awesome. Beautiful photography and great music. I soon purchased four more of these DVDs as gifts and in the ultimate act of lunancy seriously considered trading up my 42-inch plasma for a 50-inch one to better see JUST this DVD. My friends whom I have given a copy of the DVD love it also, although I must admit seeing it on the 25-inch regular TV of one of these friends doesn’t really do the jellyfish justice. I work from home and keep this DVD going a good part of the day - from time to time I take a few minutes to stare at the screen and take in the music — pure therapy. I cannot recommend this DVD highly enough.
Customer Review: Gorgeous! Looks amazing on my flat-screen.
Beautiful images that never fail to stun. I throw it on whenever I have company over on my 50″ plasma. People love it! Pour some wine, set out some cheese, we’re good for the night. The DVD loops repeatedly, so I never have to check on it. The HD images really show off the quality of my television. Just like it says on the cover, “Turns my television into living artwork.” Just gave out a bunch for Christmas presents. All my friends are stoked.
