Isn't it amazing what you can do with a camera and computer nowadays? You can shoot a video, post it in the World Wide Web, and have a few hundred thousand people access it within the end of the day. Many people seem to share this sentiment and have taken it upon themselves to shoot and star with their pet in one of those dog training videos. One asks oneself, with all these wannabe producers, how do you weed out the average from the best?

Among the things you look for, the very basic is for the video to be watchable. You cannot discount the sound and visual qualities that make up the video. Other than that, it must possess focus and organization. This will give the video the all important point of view that must be successfully communicated to the viewers. Topics that do not tie in to the title presented should be avoided at all costs.

Who is the spokesperson on the tape? Many times producers use well known celebrities to lend brand recall to their products. However, with services that require special expertise like dog training videos, licensed trainers are usually used. The public want to get information from the best source possible. Besides that this is their actual profession, these people are credible and in possession of valuable inside information and tips people can use. It may not be worth your dollars to see a Regular Joe teach on something that might be interesting but untested.

A successful dog training DVD being sold in the market usually have a good deal attached to it. A $20 instructional video will be less likely purchased than a $40 DVD, with a book (valued at $xx) and a starter kit (valued at $xx) thrown in for 'free' during a certain period of time. Of course, this will not guarantee the quality of the core product itself. However, the more value given to customers, the better the calculable appreciation the sellers are probably going to get.

Good products are marketed well. Sure there is this wonderful canine instructional video out, but if nobody knows about it who will buy it? Endorsements and recommendations from industry experts like vets, national animal organizations and certified colleagues will create a huge buzz within certain circles that will ripple out into public consciousness. Besides that, co-branding and tie-ups with strategic companies are great corporate strategies that get some awareness on a really good product.

In relation to the previous paragraph, strategic distribution channels come at the heels of right marketing. Reliable and popular canine websites that are supplied with the products imply confidence in the quality of the video.

And of course, the most faithful index of a great dog training video is the overwhelming response it gets from dog owners. People love a good deal and will tell their friends all about it. Anyone can take a video; but it takes special care and sincere efforts in creating one made for other owners' needs in mind. If you ever come across one that is often sold out and talked about a lot, buy it now- it is money well spent.
