 Excellent book November 11, 2006

This book explains very clearly the steps needed to train your dog. I have been using it since we adopted a 2-yr old stray and he is doing great. It helps you to build on different basic commands to acheive more difficult tricks. My dog enjoys the training sessions because he gets the attention a lab loves (and also treats). It allows him to think which keeps him from doing mischevious things for attention. And he is becoming a big ham. This will allow your dog to become a good citizen. It is set up so you can pick and choose the type of tricks, ex. retreiving, sitting, or multiple dogs in the various chapters. Highly recommended.
5 dog biscuits.
 Very good buy for dog owners July 10, 2006

The book was helpful in the basics of dog ownership. It was well written, my thirteen year old daughter used it to train our adult adopted dogs with in a week.
Less hokey and way more useful than other books out there! February 21, 2006

After adopting a less than perfect young-adult dog of unknown heritage and environment (so adorably scruffy with just a little bit of rottenness!) from the MSPCA a few months ago, I decided to research the latest dog training theories at the library. I LOVE Karen Pryor, Trish McConnell, and the Monks of New Skete, and just wanted to build on their theories with any other new ideas. Unfortunately, it is very easy to find books by people who call themselves authorities but who have some seriously wacky ideas. I liked this one enough to order it from Amazon! Very common sensical in nature with some fun stuff to keep any dog owner entertained. Bert is a super fast learner, which makes this book even more fun. Good luck and remember to have a good time!
Gerilyn is a genius when it comes to dog training! October 12, 2005

I got this book the other day. I have taken classes with my Pug at Canine University. Gerilyn really knows her stuff, unfortunately she can't live with my dog and I, so I got this book as a reference for when we need a little 'help' with our behavior.
Great book! Tricks are made easy! April 11, 2005

This book makes tricks easy to teach your dog, after one day the puppy can now roll on to her back when commanded! This is an awesome book! This book is useful for anyone wanting to have fun with their dog, and the dog will have fun too!
