   Great Book For Everyone
   I bought this book along with the AKC junior tire jump (strongly recommend against the tire jump), and I am so glad I did. My boyfriend and I love training my 1 year old terrier mix new tricks! Before getting this book he already knew sit, stay, come, roll over, down, crawl, paw with both hands, sit pretty (we use “pose” as the command), walk on his hind legs, spin around and jump over our extended legs.The pictures in this book that go along with the instructions are very helpful and completely relevant to the steps. Each page has a different trick, all with a name, step by step instructions, the command word you should use, step by step pictures and the part that I was most excited to see was the troubleshooting section! Clearly you are going to run into some problems when teaching some tricks and this book covers the main issues. EX: tidy up the toys: what to do if your dog plays with them instead and what to do if your dog gets confused and starts taking them out of the box. Each trick also has prerequisites listed, which help makes training much easier! At the end of the book all the tricks are labeled by skill level.I got this book about a week ago and my dog is already almost a master at play dead!I originally bought this book in the hopes of getting the rest of my family to train our dog. Now I’d rather just do it all myself. The book is so easy to follow and even the most difficult tricks don’t seem like they’ll be too much trouble with this very helpful guide!I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to build a good bond with their dog and teach them a lot of amazing and interesting tricks! It really is the perfect dog training book! Any one can train their dog with this book! As long as you practice each trick over and over again, your dog can learn anything with the right attitude! My goal is to some day train my dog to do all the tricks in this book!

   Attractive layout and many good ideas
   Our family is probably in the high end of intermediate when it comes to training. We train the basics daily, participate in agility, and have done some scent work and carting. We’re comfortable with targeting and shaping and like to do trick training for fun.From our perspective, this book is useful because it illustrates so many trick ideas. I agree with another reviewer who mentioned that the instructions are not detailed. Some tricks include lots of instruction and others have very little. If you need guidance in training, that’s a problem. If you’re looking for a few new trick ideas, however, this book still works.There are a few things about the layout I really like. One is the box that includes the hand/foot and verbal cues for the trick. Brilliant. It’s a lot easier to understand a what a hand signal looks like when you have a picture rather than a paragraph of description. The classification by difficulty is also I nice touch. It won’t hold true for every dog, but it’s a good starting point.I find Kyra to be incredibly annoying, even in still pictures. I cannot say why, but something about her gets to me. Even so, I was able to make it through this book and get a few things out of it.

   Buy three copies… I’ll tell you why…
   I suggest buying 3 copies of this book… not 1…First, because its a great coffee table book… hey, Chelcy (the author’s dog) is a Weimeraner – – and both are very photogenic – – on top of it, the graphic design and lay-out of the book are not only sensitive and informative, but very visually appealing… You can feel the excitement and enthuisiasmSecond – – its a fantastic reference book… and the idea of thinking “tricks” instead of cut and dry obedience I think is great for both the trainer and the dog. Though most of the tricks do have elements of obedience to them, they are presented in a way that makes training your dog more fun and lightharded and you’re not thinking, “good dog”/”bad dog”/”leash correction” – – In fact, I like the way the author not only has troubleshooting tips for each tricks, but will even give some ideas how difficult the trick is, what tricks need to be learned first, and how long it takes some dogs to learn. – – Also, all descriptions use simple, practical and effective language… The descriptions match up with the photos and the points are gotten across in a way that communicates the ideas to you and teaches you to teach them to your dog.Finally… buy a third copy because… some dogs *cough* have tendencies to nibble on certain people’s reading material, especially when allowed in the bed. (o.k. that’s an obedience issue.)As for the tricks, they range from basic sit/stay/rollover agility type tricks – – to classics like “bring me a beer”/”bring the newspaper” as well as a few parlor tricks/routines. The book also explains standard hand signals as well as commands.Incidentally – – there I would like a refund for 2 of the tricks. One involves the human doing a handstand, the other a cartwheel… Trust me, if you’re the “bring me my beer” trick type, you won’t be doing those two…All in all, this is one book that lives up to its own hype! Highly recommended!
