Training a dog to point or retreive does not take money or a fancy brand name video. It takes a TIME and dedication to learn how to create a desire in a dog to love to do what you want it to do. It is a fairly simple process but there are proven tricks of the trade that work better than others and shorten the learning curve. Some work well with one dog while other methods work better with the next dog. Training a dog is not hard to do if you put time and common sense into training it. Money and videos are not required.
