Summary: Full of good advice and step-by-step directions
Review: (Disclaimer: I volunteer at Canine University, the author's dog-training school.)This is a fabulous book! This book brought home to me why it is important to teach dogs tricks in addition to "basic training." It makes training more fun for both the owner and the dog, and gives the dog something to do other than just behave :). I am a complete convert to clicker training. I had used positive reinforcement to do basic training with my dog, but after taking classes at Canine U and introducing my dog to a clicker, she became a "thinking dog" who is so much easier and fun to train.

Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: I bought this book to train my Mini Schnauzer and I have found it very helpful! The tricks are fun, showy, and easy for your dog to learn. After each trick instruction, there is a tip that tells you what to do when the trick isn't working- I really like that part! I can't say my dog can do tons of tricks- I haven't had the book or my dog long enough, but she's already learned a handful of cute tricks and obedience. I do recommend this book for anyone who wants to teach tricks to their dog.

Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: I got this book for my new dog and it is wonderful. I have never heard of clicker training before and this book explained it wonderfully. I got a clicker and my dog is loving the training(so am I) (we are doing kindergarten tricks)and she has learned a lot. I have already looked at the advanced tricks and can't wait to get there. The author puts everything in an easy format so it is easy to learn and fun for all ages with their dogs. The tricks are workable(at least they are for me and my dog)with the methods explained and of course fun is stressed throughout the book and it is fun.

Summary: Very useful for both tricks and behavioral problems
Review: I initially bought this book for teaching my dog tricks, but then I discovered that almost half of the book is devoted to how to turn your rambunctious puppy into a well-behaved dog. Gerilyn's methods are all positive reinforcement and she promotes clicker training, which I think is great. Anyways this book has become my bible, both for teaching my dog new tricks and to solve any behavioral problems that crop up now and then.

Summary: Pure GENIOUS!
Review: This book has EVERYTHING (really)! I have a crazy out-of-control brittany spaniel who has given me no peace and quiet since the day he stepped in my door, but I bought this book yesterday and I was just amazed at how much detail it goes into with solutions for different naughty behaviors and training tips. I tried a few techniques already on my dog and he is definately responding. Thanks so much! This is exactly what I've been looking all over for. This book is SO GOOD. I highly recommend it!
