If you have tried every possible trainer out there in your area, and they all offer silly advice like "clicker train", "praise the dog when it does this or that" and other nicey-nice responses or the extreme opposite - "smack the dogs head back when he looks at you for grabbing his tail" to control an extremely aggressive dog, then this is the DVD for you! Cesar Millan was recommended by an AKC trainer who said that sometimes you need a little more than what's out there in "humane training". She was right! What a difference it made in a Labradoodle who was a seriously abused rescue dog. Trying the "nice" way didn't do anything for him. He didn't need someone who was all sweet and happy with praise. He needed someone calm and assertive. If you watch the videos and really pay attention to the way Cesar handles himself, you'll note he really reacts the same way you see Alpha dogs react. I use his techniques now with every dog/puppy I work with. I am very thrilled to say I have had nothing but positive results. I have even been able to capture strays in our neighborhood using his techniques - which makes our neighborhood a safer place for our kids.
HOWEVER, I recommend going to the National Geographic website to view small snipits of some shows, or watching the shows on the National Geographic channel to make sure you are comfortable with trying his techniques. I believe you might even find his DVDs in a local library. Otherwise, if you are familiar with his techniques, I would recommend buying from Amazon as they are definitely the cheapest that I have found.

I've been training dogs large and small as a hobby for as long as I can remember but every once in awhile there's one that is particularly difficult. Cesar gets to the heart of the problem without giving excuses for "that's just the breed" etc. We closed our restaurant and built a boarding kennel and work with dogs we don't know very well. (Much less stress with dogs then people). Cesar techniques of exercise first before handling has helped us immensley, epspecially with large more agressive dogs. Starbarks(TM)is a happier place because of Cesar. This DVD is a fun way to watch Cesar in action without having to pay $2,000 for him to come visit you.

The instructional DVD is VERY good. The instructions align with the behavioral aspects of the video. Only rated the product four stars instead of five though because some of the behavioral problems instructions are too simplistic, the success of the outcome is shown but not each detail of how to achieve success.
Overall, compared to other dog training videos, this product is much better. The video also covers multiple behavioral problems which will appeal to many people.
Would order another DVD based on this one.

I have only watched half of this DVD and have already learned important tips and methods to dealing with our aggressive, 2-year old rescued Min-Pin. However, I do believe that some of the negative reviews may have been written by persons who have had no initial/formal training on dealing with aggressive dogs. There are obviously important owner skills that are needed for dealing with aggressive dogs that are not addressed directly in this DVD. This deficit is totally understandable considering the time-frame these shows have to fit the dog "rehabiliation" into. I feel that Cesar goes over the most crucial techniques required for dealing with aggressive dogs.
My advice for those who have aggressive dogs is this: Seek the advice of a proven professional dog trainer who specializes in aggression. Look for a trainer who aligns with the theory of the owner learning how to be alpha dog. After initializing a rehabilitation program, watch this video for additional pointers as well as a source of hope that one day your dog will be rehabilitated too!
In the end I give this video 4 stars. This is because the video is not and should not be the sole source of learning how to train aggressive dogs. However, this video has some very good and useful techniques, some of which I have already implemented on my own dog with great success.
