Scott, I borrowed the dvd today and watched it. Obviously, it was not very well produced, with all the wind noise and music that I didn't think added anything at all to the dvd. It was not very strong in continuity, as some of the included segments didn't seem to me they had anything to do with what was just shown. Also, I don't see where having 4 or 5 dogs attacking a snared coyote have anything to do with training a decoy dog. On the other hand, some of the basic stuff Duane talked about could be useful to a beginner. I especially liked his explanation of how he uses the training collar.
I doubt that the dvd being poorly produced has very much to do with Duane's ability as a breeder or trainer, or the quality of the pups and dogs he sells. He says several times in the narrative sections that his way is not the only way, but it has worked well for him. As I said before, he has been very helpful to a buddy of mine who trained two nice decoy dogs. I surely didn't mean anything I posted to put down anybody. Just trying to help the guy who started the thread. He would be well served in contacting Scott or any of the guys who have had experience with decoy dogs.
