10 out of 21 found this review helpful
Every dog can have its day ... and Captain Haggerty, expert pooch trainer and the man dubbed "The King of Stupid Pet Tricks" (he's appeared with his menagerie on David Letterman's late-night talk fest more than two dozen times), has written, with oodles of tongue-in-canine-cheek humor, the book to prove it. Imagine! Teaching Doris or Alma or Fido or Rover to retrieve the TV remote, scan the Internet do the hokey-pokey or bunny hop. There are 125 easy-to-learn tricks that will have your doggie the cat's meow.

This is a book that contains a wonderful variety of tricks for every type of dog. I espcially liked the appendix at the end that shows the tricks that are suitable for specific breeds. There are more tricks than you'll ever need for your dogs, and they work!!!
 Not recommended!!! October 1, 2000

There aren't many trick books out there, but I still wouldn't recommend this one. I didn't like the way he suggested getting the dogs to do stuff. Try Take a Bow Wow. It is Great!!!
A great book for Dog pros and pet owners alike September 4, 2000

Captain Haggerty, the Sensei or Grandfather of all dog trainers has written an outstanding book. Not only is it a great trick book, but is really an overall dog training manual in disguise. Many Dog Trainers and Dog writers of today have been mentored by the good Captain. They are amongst the most successful in the country. Now you, the reader can be privy to much of this privledged information. After enjoying it,do check out his book "How to get Your Pet Into Show Business"
 There are better books out there! August 16, 2000

Though long and drawn out, this book is not the end-all of dog trick books. I have a problem with his sometimes coercive methods, and the nature of some of the 'tricks' (like teaching your dog to snarl and growl over an object). Not that you can't teach your dog to do anything you want, but he needs to be a whole lot clearer that any behavior that is rewarded will increase exponentially in frequency once it's been rewarded. Teaching your dog to object guard is not a safe thing to do in the hands of the average person. Aside from that, it seems quickly written and as if he tried to make it cover EVERYTHING. It is hard to do that well and he hasn't succeeded. His blurb on clicker training is silly, recommending (against the advice of every clicker trainer and those who invented the method) to click sometimes without treating. In short, head for a more concise, better written book if you'd like to have fun teaching your dog tricks.
