A good book with plenty of tricks for your dog.April 21, 2005 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is full of tricks and exercises to install good manners in your dog. It is very easy to read and clearly set out. However, it does use quite a bit of physical manipulation to try and get the dog to do some tricks, so I personally recommend and prefer 'Dog Tricks for Dummies', which uses a much more hands-off positive aaproach.
Brilliant would recommend it to any dog owner.November 2, 2004 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
A very good book, it starts with a personality test for your dog so that you can work out its major drives pack/prey/fight/flight.
For each trick it tells you which drives are used so that you can work out the easiest tricks for your dog to learn and which will be harder to teach it. Each trick is broken down into different parts, then it puts them together in different steps (each step getting more advanced) until your dog will be able to do the trick.
It is a book that is really easy to understand (probably easier than my trying to explain it!) with nice pictures and drawings plus little recap boxes for each trick.
I loved the book and my dog thinks it's a useful book for me as she now gets a lot of stuff that she had trouble with before.
we like it so muchApril 13, 1999 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We just started to get through this book and we already like it! It gives us so much fun and helps make better relationship between me and dogs. Completely new approach to the dog training, with a lot of humour! I'll send my comments again, when we'll finish this book.
Broken down into very easy to understand (& remember) stepsJuly 14, 1998 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I first read "Dog Tricks: New Tricks for Old Dogs, Old Tricks for New Dogs, and Ageless Tricks...", and though I found it amusing and a little helpful, I ran into problems if my dog did not immediately pick up on the trick. That's why I purchased "Step by Step." It's broken down extremely well, helps you understand your dog and his learning ability, and therefore helps you teach your dog the tricks. At first I thought it a little repetitive, but found that the synopsis after the longer explanation makes it easy to go back later to double check what you're doing.
A fun book, easy to follow.December 5, 1997 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let your imagination be your guide! This book gives alot of ideas about training your dog to do tricks. It gives ideas about understanding your dog so that you can train the dog more easily. It's very easy to follow and complete with a wonderful glossary in the back.
