Teaching a dog to perform tricks is a fine way of bonding between owner and pet, and a subtle method of obedience training. This manual guides owners through methods of teaching dogs to perform them.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
There is likely much in this book that most pet owners already know. However, there are two great sections on games indoors and some outdoor stuff on agility equipment and training that are excellent. For these alone the price is worth it.Likely there are some other books that give more extensive activities for our dogs and us, but this little one is worth its suggestions for the small price.
What a Great Little Book!

This book may only have about 65 pages, but it's full of color photographs and lots of suggestions for activities for your dog. There are activities for dogs to do by themselves (some of which would be excellent for averting problem behavior) and ways to spend "quality time" with your dog. Both indoor and outdoor activities are covered, as well as safety tips. This book even gives a good foundation about Agility activities! I was totally delighted. It motivates you to get up and start enjoying your dog. Aside from being a "doggie mom", I've also raised and bred Golden Retrievers for several years as well as being a dog obedience class instructor and I give this book two paws up!
