I like very much those principles of trainig those make for good learning.

Sadly burnt out, over tired dogs that one sees on the show are not relaxed. We have said this repeatedly read the body language. Look at Brendas work, look at turids work, look at Linda tellingtons stuff too. Relaxed does not look like what is seen on that show.
