# 1995 VHS • David Dikeman's Command Performance Volume 2 60 FPS

The second volume in the Command Performance dog training series by David Dikeman, picking up after volume one's five lessons with lessons six through ten. Dikeman works with several dogs throughout including Simba, Seltzer, Tachi, and Barney, demonstrating technique across breeds and sizes. The program is structured as a progressive five-lesson curriculum to be followed over multiple weeks, with each lesson intended to be practiced for five days before advancing. Lesson six covers the figure eight heeling pattern in detail, addressing differences in technique for small versus large dogs and footwork mechanics, and introduces the down stay command. The recall command is introduced in the same lesson, with emphasis on the requirement that the dog hold a solid sit-stay before a recall is attempted. Lesson seven at 16:50 adds distraction proofing, requiring the dog to hold commands while the handler works around obstacles and people. Lesson eight covers the finish command and advanced heeling with the long line. Lesson nine at 24:45 adds the stand-stay command. Lesson ten at 30:06 transitions from the long line to completely off-leash control. The tape closes with a humorous segment in which participants and their dogs interact informally, with Dikeman identifying one dog as Clint Eastwood.
