Assessing Dog to Dog Interactions
This DVD is very well done and fascinating! I watched it 2 times back to back, then loaned it to my co-trainer who watched it 3 times already. The interactions are all filmed in real-time, then replayed in slow motion so that very good views of dog reactions are possible. There is no narration, the verbal part of the presentation is by easy-to-read scrolling text. The sound track is music, wonderful! Great work, Ms. Sternberg, thanks for doing this wonderful publication.
