Don Sullivan

Seen this infomercial on tv about don Sullivan dog training. Has anybody watched his DVDs?

Have never heard of him,been into birddogs and the others that retrieve/flush over the course of 30 years.If it's on an infomercial I'd say do some looking and find someone who has credentials to buy a dvd from.Richard Wolters sold a ton of crappy books on the premise that he knew what he was doing.The uninformed masses wrote him a pretty good royalty paycheck.

and everyone is STILL endorsing his crappy books after all these years. they are on the shelves of just about every bookstore, but I can't for the life of me ever remember seeing a copy of "wing and shot" at a retailer in the last 20 years - IMO one of the best training books around. its all about marketing and self promotion; the really great dog trainers are too busy to write books or make DVDS, some of them don't even need to advertise much since people seek them out.

Never trained a dog to hump my neck before...

Kind of funny about Wing and Shot and marketing. Bob Wehle was great at marketing. It's ironic that his books aren't for popular, they are indeed some of the best...and his dogs still speak for themselves.

He was a marketeer but he also wasn't willing to settle for second fiddle quality either,there ain't many guys around that cull pups anymore because even the crappy ones can be sold.His buddy Earl Crangle has a dog training book too,never read it but I've been told it is a good one as well.
