Cute and affordable

Some tricks are a bit too weird to try, but overall it looks fun!

Great book, great price!
By Great on Aug 28, 2018 Top 100 Contributor
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 Naomi 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.
