Learning tricks already. November 21, 2008
S. messer (MI)
i've started teaching my dog the touch trick in hopes to get him to ring a doorbell to go outside. i know there's a ring a bell trick in this book and i'm sure that will work well if the doorbell doesn't. there's a few tricks in here i'd be surprised if someone taught their dog. like "get me a cookie" or "get me a water'.
101 dog tricks November 16, 2008
Derek Bowyer (ireland)
An American publication, but as a dog trainer, canine psychologist and someone who practices and loves heelwork to music, this really has to be the best and realistically priced book on the subject I have seen. Also amazingly quick delivery, faster than books from the UK to Ireland...Well done, Christine

Lives up to its title October 27, 2008

Great little book crammed with content. I was worried it would be "thin" after Look Inside, but find that it not only provides good methods with details for "tricks", but also soundly covers core methods for training, including important concepts like "proofing" a behavior in various situations and back chaining for complex behaviors.
The tricks range from learning good basic skills (sit/down/come) through some very complex sequences like pushing a baby carriage and retrieval of a drink from the fridge. There are even tricks to do with family members, human or canine.
A solid appendix rounds out the book, with other books, websites, and organizations.
Hard to beat at any price!

It is definitely for beginners. The authors explains every detail about everything so you will be succesful in teaching which tricks you want and doing it correctly and efficiently. It displays a few pictures of dogs performing the tricks but its not a visual book, but more of a guide book that you have to read most of to understand who to do things properly. All in all its an amazing book if you want to teach your dog great, fun things.
