Be happy with your canine pals without dumbing them down
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
What a neat book! The authors give a brief "intelligence test" for your dog and then tell how to make use of whatever intelligence your dog has (including emotional intelligence) to reward the lives of you and your dog(s). The authors seem to feel that you have to be realistic about the intelligence level of your animals -- you can't assume they have too much, but you shouldn't assume they don't need mental stimulation, either. Their tips don't take a great deal of your time and the authors provide suggestions for making the best use of the time you do have together. We tried their tips and were amazed at how much our animals seemed to enjoy them, and the dogs seemed to sense we were giving them time, stimulation, and credit. One caveat -- if you teach them how to do tricks, make sure they "only use their knowledge for good and never for evil" (i.e. if you teach them how to climb things, don't forget to use additional safeguards for your things!).

Those who love canines will enjoy this book. It aids one to measure and stimulate the learning abilities of dogs.Through a series of tests, the owner is brought to an understanding of the dog's relative learning abilities. This is supplemented by activities to develop and enhance the dog's gifts and intellect.Dogs are smart, they just see and learn things in different ways than humans. That's at the beginning for all dog owners to tune into. The games and activities provided help this process in providing fun stuff to do as we hang out with our canine pals.My two just love these things, as they do most anything we do with them, short of toenail trims, etc.A valuable little book for the canine world.

Fisher and Delzio's book is very encouraging and helpful to those of us who wish to add more creativity and interest to our dogs' lives. The book is full of stimulating and fun activities for your canine and you or just your dog alone while you are away. Most dogs enjoy creative stimuli and this is just the book on how to train the owner. I found it most encouraging and resourceful as a loving and concerned owner of an energetic border collie.
This book is good for all dog-lovers.

An excellent book. Certainly superior from other dog training books in the market. It porvides detailed techniques and alternatives to training your dog. Also included are nutritional facts. However, I, as the owner of a dog myself, find that some of it's techniques are unsuitable for certain dogs. This book is good for certain types of dogs, ie Labrador, Alsation, Bull Mastiff. However for Poodles, Great Danes, I find this book un effective.
