This review is from: How To Teach Your Dog To Talk: 125 Easy-To-Learn Tricks Guaranteed To Entertain Both You And Your Pet (Paperback)
This is the only book I've found that tells you step by step how to do the many tricks listed, but also how to use the steps to get your dog to perform anything you want. My dog rolled over after 5 minutes on his 2nd try. And his methods are not cruel, by "correction" he means saying the word "no" or tugging on the leash a bit. No where in there does he mention slapping or beating the dog. Very useful book

This review is from: How To Teach Your Dog To Talk: 125 Easy-To-Learn Tricks Guaranteed To Entertain Both You And Your Pet (Paperback)
I thought this was a useful tool in teaching my new puppy some very fun and impressive tricks. Although she is not actually speaking English, I believe the book has improved our communication, and I'm speaking better Dog.

This review is from: How To Teach Your Dog To Talk: 125 Easy-To-Learn Tricks Guaranteed To Entertain Both You And Your Pet (Paperback)
This is a book that contains a wonderful variety of tricks for every type of dog. I espcially liked the appendix at the end that shows the tricks that are suitable for specific breeds. There are more tricks than you'll ever need for your dogs, and they work!!!
