I love this book! Great tricks and clear direction in it. My doberman already got his Trick Dog Novice and now we are going to work towards the Intermediate Trick Dog now with the help of this new book!

Good but not the best
By LargeDogs on Jun 25, 2018
It’s very useful but there are a few training techniques I don’t agree with. Other than that there are a lot of cool trick ideas.
