Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've read through this book and found it a decent book for ideas about various tricks to teach your dog. However, it gives you very little info about how to train your dog! Nor does it prepare the unitiated with the typical responses that you might expect from your dog during the initial training phases, or how to react to various situations.
Finally, the book is dated. Written in the late 70s it doesn't cover newer trainer methods. Some of there methods could really use updating (i.e. there is very little in the way of motivational training, mostly corrective training is used. If you and your dog want to have fun shouldn't it be a little less work for them?).
I highly suggest skipping over this book, unless you need help in new trick ideas and are confident that you and your pooch can work well together.
There are a few other books out there that are newer and stress the fun aspect of dog tricks much better than this one did.
