One Hundred Ways for a Dog to Train Its Human

by Simon Whaley, Simon Whaley

On days out to the beach, always be the first in the family to get out of the car, onto the beach and into the sea. Always be the last in the family to get out of the sea, onto the beach and into the car. Remember to shake excess sea water from your fur once you are inside the car. Humans may refrain from passing you food to test. To them, a piece of salmon, followed by Liquorice Allsorts, a chocolate cake, and a selection of vegetables is a foul combination. Humans believe meals should be categorised into three sections. A starter, a main course and a sweet. Disavow them of this. Food is food. Always make sure you have more energy at the end of a walk, than you did at the beginning. Believe me, humans love the futility of taking you for a walk to tire you out.

Hmm, I think I will keep this book away from my dogs. It might give them ideas how to behave.

It is funny little book, full of jokes that dog owners will understand. I like it, it made me laugh out loud a few times, and I'll probably re-read it again someday.

Quite a nice little book of dog anacdotes given to me for Christmas. If you have a pet who is very good at getting their way, it's a nice read. Has all made me feel like I'm not the only one having the wool pulled over my eyes by my pouch!

Entertaining read for dog owners, I got this as a birthday present and it was well suited. Humorous and light-hearted.

[D'Arcy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hilarious and very accurate. The only thing I thought was a bit weird were the multiple references to giving chocolate as a treat to a dog, which can be fatal for them. Otherwise, this is great for picking up and reading a few pages here and there when you want a chuckle. Would make a great gift for any dog owner.

Given the books that I write, I find it interesting about the connection. Very amusing and enjoyable read 📚

Un piccolo e simpatico manuale che non può mancare a chi ama il migliore amico dell'uomo.
Contiene un centinaio di consigli, da cane a cane, su cosa fare per fare capire all'umano di casa chi è che comanda in realtà: molti sottili suggerimenti che riguardano i dolci, i bambini, la poltrona di casa...

Ovviamente il consiglio, da umano a umano, che il libro fa intendere è: non leggetelo al vostro cane!

This is one of those little books that you can't help but like - yes, never going to hit the dizzy heights of literature, but this makes you smile and that's worth more. This is written as a guide for DOGS, discussing the best ways to make their humans do as they are told. To be honest, it isn't the best version of this sort of thing - I have a couple of horsey ones that are funnier - but it is still worth flicking through when you need a few seconds of entertainment.

This is a small book with little writing in it however it is extremely funny and easy for any dog owner to relate to.
