Editorial Reviews

Christina Sondermann has devised a plethora of quick and easy games for your pooch to enjoy. The best bit is you don't need any expensive toys or devices, as you're likely to have everything needed just lying around the house...She's even given us a recipe for some dog treats that I, or at least my dog, will definitely be trying! The only question is, am I slowly turning my dog into a jail breaking, sneak thief with a taste for baked treats...? Only time will tell.
