 Great stuff March 15, 2008

If I had to recommend one nonfiction book for dog lovers this would be it. Not only is the cover adorable, but anyone looking to really bond (as the cover says) with their puppy and teach them to grow the way a child grows with effort and schooling, should get this book.
Highly recommended.
Fun Tricks, Great Instructions with pictures March 13, 2008

I bought this book after we got a doberman puppy. we have already taught him how to "shake". Of course now when you tell him to sit, he swats at you with his big paw trying to shake for a treat. He is very young to be taught most of these tricks, since his mind is still learning the basics. However, Chalcy and her trainer are amazing and very impressive. You will have to spend a lot of time working on these and a lot of the tricks are so hard. But some can be done. It is fun to see though, that a dog can actually be taught these crazy things. I think that the dog, a Weimeriener (forgive the spelling), I think is a very intelligent breed, as is a Doberman and a German Shepard. These type of dogs are very smart and eager to please. I reccommend the book for fun even if you can't get your dog to do the trick.

I have been training my dogs in agility for 5 years. Sometimes you get so focused on one area of training you forget the casual fun you can have with your dogs. The methods in this book are all positive motivational. There are lots of side bars that explain some of the pit falls you can run into when training. It wxplains how you can chain tricks together to create new tricks. I'm NOT planning ou teaching the dogs to fetch a soda from the fridge however. I just don't imagine my beagle passing the lunch meats. The only thing that this book doesn't provide is the time necessary to fit into my schedule.
Excellent! February 10, 2008

I've tried numerous tricks and tips offered in this book, and so far the style and pictures, as well as my dogs response has been unbeatable. No other similar book or CD has been as good or as easy to follow. It's an icon!
Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks February 3, 2008

My dog is 11 years old and I wanted to teach her tricks as a way to keep her mind alert as she ages, as well as provide an outlet for energy when there's bad weather outside.
I've been working from the book for 1 week and so far my dog (a chihuahua) has learned 2 new tricks. Author was right about using "good" treats to motivate to learn.
I chose this book in particular because the "look inside the book" feature showed a good, easy to read layout, detailed pictures that illustrates each step of the trick, and also some "troubleshooting" issues that you might encounter as you take your dog through the trick. Oh, afteryour dog masters a particular trick, the author tells you what additional tricks you can teach your dog to build upon the trick just learned....she really does a great job in this book and I would def. buy it for a gift, as well as purchase addtl training books written by her.
PS - I have no experience training dogs and have never been through obedience training; this book is more than fine for beginners. The book breaks down tricks by simple obedience tricks (sit, stay, down, etc.) as well as 3 addtl levels of tricks (intermediate, advanced, expert), so you know which tricks are at an appropriate level for your dog.
Have fun!
