Certainly beats paying $160/month cable bill or whatever insane amount they want to charge for your 250 stations of paid infomercials and the fishing with golfing cooks reality channel or whatever other crap they seem willing to put on TV these days....

Yup, it is - my dogs know they can fiddle-putz around doing some things I've told them, but the phrases "Park it" and "Crate" (or "Do I need to say the 'C' word") gets instant results.
