Videos are fantastic. Easy to understand. The videos show how easy it can be to get a pointing dog steady to wind and shot. All training is positive reinforcement with very little pressure. Fast shipping.

I am 77 years old. Since young age I have hunting dogs which either tried to train by myself or send them out for professional training. I have watch a lot of trainers training my dogs and I also have watch a lot of dog training videos done by some very well known dog trainers. In my opinion Jon Hann's videos "The perfect Start and The perfect finished" are one of the best in the market. Jon approaches the dogs with calm and patience. His deep knowledge and style makes the dog owner to feel secure that his dog will be treated with kindness, understanding and that his dog will receive the training that needs to become a great dog. Presently I own six pointing dogs. It is unfortunate that I live 800 miles away from his training facility and my dogs cannot receive Jon's training wisdom.

You want a linear progression to train your pup, this is as good of a series as you will find. Production quality...is low, but information, techniques, scenarios, and examples (on real dogs learning) is as good as you can find anywhere. If you are handling, training, hunting or even thinking about handling, training or hunting behind your dog, this is a must have in your training gear.

I received these in good condition. The information in these videos was very informative. I appreciate how Jon Hann handles the dogs. He knows how they learn and Taylor’s the training session to each dog. I also appreciate that he takes an untrained dog and you follow them through the steps in training. He does this with multiple dogs giving you a real life look at different temperament dogs. The only complaint I have is the quality of the video but it is nothing really to complain about. It is shot some time ago with less superior equipment. It doesn’t take away from the information content at all. My dogs enjoyed watching it. Lol

This set included multiple CDs all have a lot of really good information on them video and editing quality is a little low but keeping in mind that most of the filming is done out in the field and not in a studio completely understandable. Would recommend to anyone interested in training their dog

This training film it’s so different and so far ahead of anything else I have seen it is very easy to understand. Showing you how a dog reacts to the training and then following that dog through its training and seeing two or three other dogs and their reactions and their progress , Of all the money that I’ve spent on dog training this is the best value for the money I highly recommend it.

Easy to follow, knowledgeable content. Easy to relate to, great range of dog personalities, bought these videos for new pup, but can use on our older dog as well.

As others have commented, the production quality was somewhat dated. The audio has a bit of wind interferance, and the video is grainy. Also, one of the disks came loose in delivery, and there was some scratching on it. I noticed other reviewers encountered the scratching too. That said, the actual training material has been good so far. Yes, the DVDs are "expensive," but not if you are able to apply the material to your pup's education. It's a bargain considering the alternative of paying someone else to do it for you. I've found there is no "one" way of educating yourself on dog training: you have to keep studying the subject using as many reliable sources as you can find.

Excellent information and proven results trainer

I was fairly excited about this purchase. I was really disappointed in the video quality of the dvd's which made them difficult for me to watch. For $150.00 I think that the quality should have been much better. It felt like I was watching an old VHS tape. I'm new to the gun dog world and seeing other videos I thought I would be getting something more up to date for the price. I cannot give the content any ratings as I don't have the expertise of a pro trainer. I gave it a 3 star rating because at the very least I picked up a couple of pointers.

I purchased three sets of DVDs, The Perfect Start, The Perfect Finish and The Perfect Retrieve. All three of the sets had damaged cases on the DVDs. All three sets had DVDs loose in the cases. The case of the perfect start had come open in the shipping box and one of the disks was severely scratched. I would give Gundog Supply 5 stars for the way they handled the problem. The damaged set was replaced the same day I contacted them.

We are working on the perfect start. Things are going well. Looking forward to the perfect finish.

It has good information but it's all recorded as a home video. Bad picture quality and looks like it was made back in the 80s. Wasn't impressed for how expensive it is, really needs to be updated.

Excellent information. Older footage but the content is still relevant. Not a series where you bring a puppy home for immediate training. Easy to follow and easy to use directions.

Simplest videos with the greatest results. I recommend these DVDs to beginner trainers and even trainers that have been doing it for years. Best out there by far.

So far the content of the DVD's has been good. I was introduced to bird dog training via the George Hickox method and still prefer some of his puppy introduction to birds and guns methods. However; the Hann's do a much better job at filling in a lot of the blanks and questions a new trainer will have. They seem to do a good job at giving a lot of information. My biggest issue with these DVD's, and the reason I gave them a good rating, is the overall video quality. These are fairly recently made videos within the last decade as they reference valid websites in them, but the video quality of these seems to be recorded on a 1980's circa VHS home camcorder. For the money I spent on these I really was hoping for some better video quality. Is that a deal breaker for me, and would I discourage someone from buying these because of that? NO - the info is good and useful. I am just a very visual learner as much as I am a listener and the video quality of these is very sub-par for the price I paid. Thankfully they are using external body attached microphones, the saving grace of these films, so you can clearly hear them explain what is going on and what you should be doing. Overall I am pleased with my purchase and that people have taken the time to put so much time and attention into a training DVD so that those of us who don't have the time, or can't afford the training boot camps, or professional trainers can still produce and have good hunting dogs.

Very informative.

Very easy to follow training method. Remi is just 8 weeks old, but have already watched 1st 1/2 of the Perfect Start. Will keep ya'll posted.

I thought it was a very good dvd set. The quality was outdated, but the lessons and techniques were clear and straight forward. A good set for the DIY trainer.

These dvds are great for training a bird dog. They start with teaching commands and continue with how to introduce birds and keep it fun. I can't wait till my pup is a little older to get started.

Very good information. Going to his Clinic is even better. The technical quality of the video could be better, but the information is excellent.

Pricey - but worth it! I've trained two GSPs prior to my current pup, but I'm still learning. Improved my pup's fetch a lot. That's worth the price in itself. Very good step by step instructions. Highly recommended!

While I had some reservations about these videos, I took Steve's recommendation and purchased them. After the first 30 mins I can say my doubts were gone. This is a terrific series of DVD's. The methods used are straightforward and demonstrated in real time with dogs of many ages, temperaments and breeds. You get see how to respond to dogs in a calm and even manner when things don't go as you planned, which is lacking in other videos and hard to envision in many books. These DVD's, while 6 hrs in duration, are easy to watch and are somewhat addictive because they address almost all questions you may have while working with your dogs. Very informative! Thank you for the great recommendation.

Very helpful. I have always bought a dog that has been fully trained. I am enjoying using the DVD as we learn together.

It is good and to the point. Could stand to be updated.

Excellent videos. Great for helping to train your hunting companion, straight forward and very informative.

Low production (old recording) but great content. Snapped around training with live pigeons only.

For us, this video series is the best that we have run across. The temperament displayed and the terminology used is excellent. By temperament, I mean that they enjoy working with the dogs and it truly comes off that way. They are relaxed, show patience, and yet display a loving firmness. My son is undertaking his first puppy. I wanted this to be the model for all of this dogs work. I have worked with GSPs, Brittanys, Lab, Vizslas, and now a Small Munsterlander. This series is by far the best approach for dogs who are to be companions and not hunt club kennel dogs. I feel that this approach insures within the dog a level of willingness to hunt for the hunter and enhances their desire to associate hunting with fun rather than a job. I have had dogs they were trained to be methodical robots who followed every command as trained. Very good dogs, but all personality was wiped away. In our circumstance we wanted a dog that trusted and loved us obediently while hunting efficiently. This series enhances all of this better than any other training program I have ever used. I am very grateful for it.

Easy to understand. Teaches how to work with and make it fun.

Excellent start to building the chain one link at a time!

Great product. Slow shipping

Great disks. Very informative.

Image quality is not good. Circa early 90's like.

Very helpful videos. I recommend them for anyone looking for a positive reinforcement method of training their pointing dogs.

I have not finished viewing the materials. So far I am pleased.

I have only viewed the perfect start since my pup is only 14 weeks old. However, I really like the tips and the fact that they work dogs that are not trained dogs yet. Some of the dogs in the video are very shy and they show you how to work them through their shyness. One training book I own says that some dogs are not trainable and these videos show that with patience and hard work all dogs are trainable.

The video content is 100%. I have done a lot of reading, and watching the video shows that keeping things simple and using the dog's natural ability and instincts is the way to go. It gives a clearer picture than just books alone can do. As far as the video goes, an overdub on the sound to remove the wind noise would make it better. I'm not sure if the numbers showing the run time are from my DVD player, but I didn't seem to get rid of them. They sometimes interfered with some of the written pop up comments.

I'm so glad I got this set. So far I have learned a ton of things just from the first disc that will help me. When I ordered the set it came quickly :)

Great DVD set, easy to understand for a beginner like myself. They teach you what to do from having your puppy in the beginning all the way to the end.
