Customer Reviews

Training for puppy
I was disappointed with the content of this book. I expected a step by step how to book based on the title. I subsequently ordered a book by Cesar Milan - dog whisperer, but still no how to tips.

Dog Training
This book was just ok. very boring. Uses clicker training throughout the entire book. Does not give any alternative methods. Not the best book.

Fun Book for Me and My Dogs
What a fun book! It is what it says "the everything dog training and tricks book"--I wish they'd make a DVD showing how to do it also.

Although, the way the tricks are broken down into steps make them very easy to do, so good book--doggies, it's play time!
