First, you should know that this book IS actually about teaching your dog to talk. Not in the foofy-bonding-spiritual way, but in the "this is how you encourage them to make this particular vowel sound" way. I was a little shocked -- but amused -- by this. I'm not really interested in teaching my dog to speak, but thankfully there are lot of other fun tricks in this book. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a decent (but sometimes rambling) read in addition to their list of tricks. I honestly like it much more than 101 Dog Tricks for the stories and humor.

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 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

All the gushing reviews about this writer being the "father of dog training", or whatever, fail to mention that dog training has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past 40 or 50 years. So when a writer is using fairly cruel methods to train a dog ( and causing the dog needless pain and suffering ) most dog trainers that a) aren't 80 years old, or b) actually kept up with the changes in dog training, are going to rightly dicount using stone age training methods.
Welcome to the 1980's, readers - much better training methods ( and books ) exist now. Pass up this useless historic tome and spend your money on a book that works!
