Close to 100 dog tricks are described in this extremely easy to read book. Tricks that take no longer than a day or two for your dog to master to some really difficult tasks. The authors write with a lot of humour and wit as they explain how tricks should be taught to your dog to make it fun and exciting. Tricks range from the fun and silly "play dead" or "blowing out a match" to the more energetic like "jumping rope" or "climbing a ladder". My dog Daisy and I highly recommend it.
a fun AND educational book!

Many books exist about understanding and training dogs. But THIS one is something else! The whole slant of Dog Tricks involves how to teach you and your dog how to have fun with each other in clever and amusing ways. Everything from training your dog how to give you a kiss (begin with a smear of butter on your cheek!) to snatching (and running away with) your chess opponent's rook is covered with a wonderful mix of elegant simplicity and silly shared amusement. Dog Tricks is really the one book to get if you want to learn the potential of "a really good time with a dog!"
