From the back cover:

“Play is fun, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just goofy or frivolous. Play is powerful stuff, and it has a profound influence on your relationship with your dog. This engagingly written booklet shows how play can enhance your relationship with your dog, improve your dog’s responsiveness, and provide your dog with the mental and physical exercise he or she needs. Inside is up-to-date research on how to tell your dog you want to play (most of us aren’t very good at it!), some charming tricks and games to wow your friends, and an important section on how not to play with your dog. If you’d like a happier, more responsive dog and a closer relationship with each other, then this booklet is for you.

‘Finally, a book devoted to play written by two top behaviourists and trainers, including up-to-date research that will help you use play to enhance your relationship, to get performance, and as a reward for good behaviour.’ ~ Pia Silvani, CPDT, Director of Training and Behaviour St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Centre, Madison, N.J.'”
