Uncle Matty's Guide to Doggy Problems
Matthew Margolis; 1998; VHS; $16.99
Uncle Matty is back taming the most common canine behavior problems. In this new sixty minute special, Uncle Matty's Guide to Doggy Problems, "dog trainer to the stars" Matthew Margolis swings into action with "puppy basics", tackling everything from mouthing to those nasty housebreaking mistakes. Next, Matty takes a bite out of aggression. We'll meet a Spaniel who's territorial and a Poodle whose biology dealt him a bad hand. Actor Roger Clinton is paid a visit as Matty shows him how to tame his protection dog, Bear, who's taking his job "a bit too seriously." Finally, Uncle Matty takes on some of our "best friends" most annoying problems, including digging, barking, pulling on the leash, and not coming when called (with ER's own frustrated owners, Ellen Crawford and Michael Genovese). Viewers will also meet a Basset Hound whose howling is driving his human parents crazy, and an "escape artist" named Emma, a sprightly Beagle, who has dug her way out of the $4000 fence her family erected as a way of keeping her in the yard. Also includes bonus footage, a special class for "young and old alike" on how NOT to get bitten! |

Woof! Woof!
Matthew Margolis; VHS; 1996; $16.99
Woof Woof: Uncle Matty's Guide to Dog Training offers a friendly and funny approach to raising a dog. Host Matthew Margolies speaks with humor, warmth, and authority when talking both to his pupil dogs and to his audience. He does scold some of his example pet owners, mostly for not being diligent enough about enforcing doggie boundaries and rules. Woof Woof presents several scenarios familiar to a dog owner, including selecting a dog at a breeder or the pet shelter, teaching sit-stay-heel, and generally having more control over Fido when out walking him. He stresses the aphorism that it is not the breed that is vicious or willful, but the treatment of the dog that determines behavior. Margolies's philosophy is that "love, praise, and affection" and a good leash will get one far in gently enforcing an owner's control. |
