If I could have given zero stars I would have!
This book is horrible. The book itself is hard to read and it offers no visuals to see if you are doing the tricks correctly.
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
This is a book that contains a wonderful variety of tricks for every type of dog. I espcially liked the appendix at the end that shows the tricks that are suitable for specific breeds. There are more tricks than you’ll ever need for your dogs, and they work!!!

Not recommended!!!
There aren’t many trick books out there, but I still wouldn’t recommend this one. I didn’t like the way he suggested getting the dogs to do stuff. Try Take a Bow Wow.
