The Best Dog Tricks on the Planet: 106 Amazing Things Your Dog Can Do on Command - Softcover

Babette Haggerty has trained Jack Nicklaus' Golden Retriever to bark the number of his major tournament wins on command, and Jimmy Buffett's Maltese to dance on cue to "Margaritaville". She offers up more than 100 of her best dog tricks, many of them featured by her famous father, Captain Haggerty, on David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks. Step-by-step photos pack the pages showing readers the tricks to the tricks. In no time your dog will not only bring in the paper, play dead and roll over but also count objects, jump into your arms, crawl like a soldier, balance funny things on his or her head and then take a bow.

Babette is at home in a dog kennel, literally. She was raised in one by her mom, Betty-Ann, and father, the dog-training pioneer, Captain Haggerty, whom the New York Times credited with "establishing dog training as a respectable profession in this country." She runs the Haggerty School for Dogs, splitting her time between Palm Beach and New York City.
