Product Description

Review

"An excellent book which covers many aspects of interacting with your pet, having fun, and learning to play." "--Your Dog"

Product Description

Part of the pleasure of owning a dog is the mutual fun that results from the playing of games. However these games also have a role in the development and well-being of our four-legged friends, not least of which is building up our dogs' self confidence and boosting our relationships. With very little financial outlay and no previous experience, any dog owner whether the dog be a puppy or an older animal can invent games using household objects. The purpose of this book is to help you discover and employ games and activities on an everyday basis that both you and your dog will enjoy and that will contribute towards his fitness and training: Marvel at the super-abilities of your dog's sense of smell. Make his daily walks an exciting adventure. Find enough inspiration in your living room to exercise his basic play instincts. Take the opportunity when appropriate to turn your garden into a dog's adventure playground. TV shows have shown how dogs can become bored and unmanageable through lack of stimulation. The occupational therapies introduced in this book are easy to do and can be integrated into your normal daily routine without much time needed or complex training. Everybody, two-or-four legged, that enjoys joint activities can participate - independant of age, height, fitness or knowledge.

This book is one of the best books i've bought. It has numerous ideas of ways to not only entertain your dog, but games to also help young dogs increase in their confidence and use their brian more. Unlike other books this book doesn't entail needing to purchase lots of expensive equipment, it encourages you to be inventive and use items you would find in the home, or out on a walk. An excellent book for a new dog owner, or an owner who has a dog that, like mine needs mentally challenging regularly to keep him calm and happy. Definately worth its money.

Excellent 21 Jan 2011
By Lindsay
Format:Hardcover
This is a really great book. You don't need to buy any special toys, there are loads of ideas using things in your home like creating an agility course out of chairs. There are lots of pictures and all the activities are clearly described. You can pick up at any point through out the book and skip past any ideas you don't fancy. I'd highly recommend it.

a wonderful resource 27 April 2011
By Dogs and Books - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a creative, fun resource with lots of unusual, adaptable ideas for playing with your dog. It's completely clicker-based and the training steps are clear and detailed, with good photos to illustrate. I recommend this book routinely to my behavior modification clients and to people who need to occupy a convalescent dog or who are trying to keep a young, energetic dog from going batty in bad weather. But anybody who wants to add more fun to their relationship with their dog, or who has the Deeply Serious aim of increasing their dog's focus on them, will love "Playtime for Your Dog."

The translation from the German is a little wonky at times, which for my money only adds to the book's charm. I'm amazed that the English-language edition has been out for over a year and yet I'm the first reviewer here. Dog people! Get this book!
