The 30-minute dog training DVD is a perfect complement to this new edition. The DVD is made precisely for owners of medium sized dog breeds; it covers the training approach, practical commands like heeling and staying, correcting inappropriate behaviors like jumping up and chewing, fun tricks like shaking and rolling over, and a bonus chapter. This bonus chapter is unique because it is breed-specific-- a Cocker Spaniel owner will learn specifically about the personality traits and habits that are characteristic of Cocker Spaniels. This kind of breed-specific coverage enables owners to cater their training, care, and attention to their Cocker Spaniel.
