Fun and Games with Your Dog

Likely there are some other books that give more extensive activities for our dogs and us, but this little one is worth its suggestions for the small price.


I was very disappointed in this book.   October 20, 1999

I bought this book hoping to find imaginative games my puppy class students could use in addition to everyday games. Instead I was met by a book that talks about the three most common things everyone plays with their dogs--fetch, tug of war and ball games. The rest of the book deals mostly with variations of these three games along with a small section on agility. I did however like some of the ideas for builting simple obstacles out of everyday items. This is not a book I will recommend to my puppy class.


What a Great Little Book!   August 23, 1998

This book may only have about 65 pages, but it's full of color photographs and lots of suggestions for activities for your dog. There are activities for dogs to do by themselves (some of which would be excellent for averting problem behavior) and ways to spend "quality time" with your dog. Both indoor and outdoor activities are covered, as well as safety tips. This book even gives a good foundation about Agility activities! I was totally delighted. It motivates you to get up and start enjoying your dog. Aside from being a "doggie mom", I've also raised and bred Golden Retrievers for several years as well as being a dog obedience class instructor and I give this book two paws up!
