We have reviewed many dog and pet training courses over the years here on this site and have seen many come and go. Since we’ve been running this site so long we’ve seen the whole trend from regular ebooks to audio CD’s to downloadable audio files… and now FINALLY someone is doing a really nice series of audio visual training demonstrations that you can watch on your computer over and over.
While the downloadable text documents were ok, this product by Dove Cresswell makes you feel like you have the trainer right in your very own home. Sometimes when I’m reading about how to have my Lab learn a new trick it can get confusing but Dove Cresswell’s combination of audio and video makes it very clear and concise.

So who is Dove Creswell? I had the same question so I did a little research. If you go over to the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB) and search for her you’ll find that she was the animal trainer on the following:
- Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2009) (post-production) (animal trainer: dogs)
- Space Buddies (2009) (V) (additional trainer)
- The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008) (animal trainer: dog)
- Air Buddies (2006) (V) (additional trainer) (as Dove C. Cresswell)
- Sam’s Lake (2005) (lead animal trainer)
- Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ (2004) (TV) (animal trainer: dog)
- Saved! (2004) (animal wrangler) (uncredited) (production assistant) (uncredited)
- “Romeo!” (animal trainer) (2 episodes, 2003)
- Slam Dunk (2003) TV episode (animal trainer)
- Let’s Make a Deal (????) TV episode (animal trainer) - The Core (2003) (animal trainer: dog)
- A Guy Thing (2003) (animal trainer)
- “Dark Angel” (production assistant) (5 episodes, 2001) (animal trainer: dog)
- The Magician’s House II (2000) (TV) (animal trainer: owl)
Not too shabby!!
So what does the Dove Cresswell Dog Training Course Teach?
The course contains 7 very complete lessons. I was pretty happy that she didn’t waste any time going into the history of dog training or some of the filler material I’ve seen in other courses. The lessons went right into:
In minutes you can get started and quickly master:
- Puppy House Training / Potty Training
- Dog Obedience Training
- Crate Training
- Walking Politely on a Leash: The Informal Heel
- The Recall
- Good Puppy & Dog Manners
- Special Dog Tricks

PS – I just checked the site. When I reviewed the product I paid the original price of $79.97 and I thought that was a pretty good deal. Now I see she’s dropped the price down to under $40 bucks which is a great deal. Highly recommended!



Greetings,
When it comes to dog training programs, I am for the type which gives you continued audio visual guidance.
It is ok to download a pdf manual then print it out and read through chapter and verse, but I enjoy having my laptop out in the backyard on a tree stump, and going through a lesson or two with my little puppy just following Dove Creswell’s clear and concise verbal instructions and actions..

I have a Yorkie puppy that I just can’t seem to potty train. I take her out and then 10 minutes later she will go in the house.
I am trying treats right now but is not really working. I think I need to go ahead and buy some sort of book, so thanks for reviewing this one.

Great advice. Our dog definitively needs some training. Maybe I’ll try a audio & visual program like this.

I think when you are looking for a dog training course, you need to find one that will help you with all stages of your dogs development. You also need a dog training course that will address all of the possible issues that your dog may face while training.

Our dogs need more training courses. I love my dogs and I will give him the best things .
All the things that you have listed are very practical. If they are followed, then a new puppy will turn out to be a great addition to any family.

Video training is more helpful than ebooks and book training often, because it lets you see exactly how the trainers do it for yourself.
