I have just been shopping and wanted to share my reviews. I allready have 101 dog tricks by Kyra Sundance which I call my bible and includes tricks from a novise to advanced level. The photos are very clear to follow. I want to do the trick dog performance titles on
www.domorewithyourdog.com and decided to buy 10 minute dog training games as some of the listed tricks are in there. It is a very good book and explains the elephant trick and blowing bubbles that are needed for chalenges on this site. It also covers games that teach the basic skills to dogs. My favourite is tying a rope onto a treat and hiding it under the sofa so the dog has to learn how to pull it out. I also bought 101 ways to do more with your dog, by the same author. This is more about the different sports you can do with your dogs and the tricks listed are the same as in the above books. Lots on teaching huskies to pull thing and it also lists the highest and longest jump a dog has made.
My favourite purchase was a DVd. Teach your dog new tricks by Tina and Chandi. They were finalists on Britains got talent and won the free style and heel work to music at crufts in the same year. The dvd has the full video of their routine, You could find it on you tube if you want an idea of how brilliant they are. There is a bit of talking of their history and then a section on teaching their tricks and training tecniques. They are listed seperatley on the menu so you can repeat each one without having to watch the dvd from the start. Now for the important bit - the list of tricks!
Marching on the spot.
Spanish walk
Flying changes that look like skipping
Back turn and reverse through your legs

backwards crawl (moon walk)
Get your dog to walk in front of you
Funny walk- Back leg lifts
Wrap a paw round an umbrella
Hug an umbrella with both paws
Ballet -Front feet on a chair and lift each back leg in turn.
