Looking for something new to do with your pup? This is really the first book I have found that had anything new or worthwhile in it. Some of the training is not very insightful, and some of the tricks are of course the ones we all should teach our dog in the first few months, but the more advanced ones actually were a challenge. A good read and nice reference to have around.

The book is okay. The guides to teach the tricks are not very in depth, but some of the tricks themselves are neat ideas.

I was looking for more detailed descriptions to teach some more complicated tricks, so this book did not fit my need.

This can either be a fun book or a practical book: whichever you like. The information is sound, relevant and lighthearted.
