 Great photos and Instructions, but not for clickers November 14, 2007
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a book I've been looking at purchasing for awhile, and finally made the plunge last month.
The book is exceptionally produced. The photos are excellent and the write ups are excellent too.
The book has also give me a few ideas also of tricks I can train my dog with also. SO that's been a plus.
I'm not sure I like how the book is organized though. It's organized by trick category and then within each category it goes from Easy to Hard trick listing. I guess this is something more of a personal preference.
I also would have liked to see a DVD accompany this book. If anything to at least cover the basic training approaches for the beginner tricks to get you started, since trick training is a very visual thing.
Lastly, I've been doing clicker training with my dog, and I was hoping that some of the book would address this new method of training too. It gives you about 1 paragraph at the beginning of the book but that's all.
I'd give the book 4.5 stars if I could but I can't so I'm marking it down to 4 out of 5 instead. Recommended.
 Question for other readers November 8, 2007
12 out of 38 found this review helpful
I was considering buying this book...the list of tricks is wonderful and it appears to be well done. I read through the sample pages and, as a long time professional trainer, was disappointed to see SIT being taught with the old 'push on the hips, pull up on the collar' technique. For those of us trying to stay current in newer teaching techniques that is a bit of "the world is flat". Lest I throw out the whole book because of one outdated technique, can anyone give me a bit more info.
Thanks.
Sally
 little too much hype November 5, 2007

While this book may be a lot of fun, it is certainly not the only book to use step-by-step instructions and full-color photos. In fact, it's layout seems to have been designed on The Trick Is in the Training, long available from Barrons.
This book is longer, but it is NOT the first to use photos to illustrate the training, be full-color, and offer tips on solving problems and other ways to use behaviors.
 just plain fun October 21, 2007
The illustrations and step-by-step instructions are fabulous; and teaching is a great way to reinforce your leadership in a fun, playful way!

This is a really well organized book. I find it very helpful. The author has conveyed all of her methodology clearly yet leaves room for the reader to improvise, build and create new tricks. We have and continue to enjoy the book.
