This book teaches an owner how to teach fun tricks to the dog. It is easy to understand and easy to teach. Tricks help make better dogs.

This is an almost complete training book. It give some nice ideas to train your dog. The amount of "tricks" given is very nice. Some of them are easy to teach, some are extremely hard. The info is prersented in a humorous way making the book not only good for teaching these behaviors but also fun to read. I can not say this is a complete book because it doesn't explain ways to deal with some basics problems that all trainers, myself included, encounter. For this reason I don't recomend this book to a beginer trainer. Experienced trainers will appreciate all the ideas presented. It give some entertaining ways to spend time with your dog.

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.
