5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun activities, December 10, 2003

By A Customer

This book has all sorts of fun ideas and my dogs love to try the new games in it. It also has lots of resources if you want to find out more. I have an old dog and a young dog and it has something for both of them. (The reveiwer who complained about some of the actvities for her dog must of not read the introduction where it said that not every activity was suggested for every dog...) This book has made my puppy easier to live with because he is never bored. And it helps keep my old dog entertained even though she can't do much exercise.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun??, December 9, 2003

It is hard to believe this book was written by an adult professional. Some of the activities suggested involve encouraging the dog to behave in undesirable ways, such as barking excessively, running wildly through the house, or attacking your shoes. Others, such as "walking lessons" where you grab the dog by it's legs and force him to walk, seem to border on abusive. I was looking for more activities to do with my Lab, and didn't find one.

I love this book and thought it was great. There are all sorts of things you can do with your dog. For example it gives you instructions on how to make jumps, a tunnel and other things.
