Dog Tricks: Step by Step

by Mary Ann Rombold Zeigenfuse, Jan Walker

Written by the Trainer of President and Barbara Bush's dog (and author in her own right), Millie! All owners will find fun things to do with the family pet in this all-new book based on the sound training philosophy of Mary Ann Rombold Zeigenfuse, Millie's trainer. Without rules and regimentation, the book's format gives a built-in success formula by allowing owners to teach those tricks best suited to their pet. Owners can devise an individual Personality Profile for each dog, which allows everyone to have a choice of tricks. There are practical tricks to make the dog useful at home; simple tricks, to build a rapport between dog and owner; and cute tricks, great just for showing off. Full color and extraordinary original artwork throughout complement the easy-to-follow, step-by-step instruction, whether you want to prepare your dog for show biz or simply want to have some fun.

I've taught my dog a few tricks using only this book, and most people think he's had tons of training. They're really impressed with the results. I had a lot of fun using this book to teach my dog tricks, and my dog had fun too. The instructions are easy to follow and results come quickly.

This had good step-by-step approaches to teaching your dog tricks and some good ideas for tricks you might like to teach your dog. It was decent, but not amazing, but if you're interested, you might want to buy this one, so you don't get another one that's worse.

I really liked this book and, it is a good step by step guide to teach any dog "young or old" new tricks.

This book is full of tricks my dog comes from a base of circus dogs from Cuba so when we got him he was such a good dog and already almost trained and also i taught him one trick he didn't know and he learned it in a day and knows like 15 tricks and is trained to let us know when he needs something.
