97 Ways to Make a Dog Smile Kindle Edition

by Jenny Langbehn (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 132 ratings
News for dogs and dog lovers to smile about: The irresistible bestseller is now even more irresistible with a 4-by-6-inch “chunky” format. As quirky, colorful, and giftable as ever, 97 Ways to Make a Dog Smile is now fresher and more appealing.

Developed by Jenny Langbehn, a veterinary nurse who has a gift for making dogs happy, here are 97 foolproof methods and tricks for putting any dog into a state of pure pleasure. Enhancing each entry is an adorable, full-color photograph of the guaranteed result—a smiling dog. Give these a try: Lower-Ear Noogies. The Thumper. Lazy Man’s Tetherball. The Hansel and Gretel—“For an afternoon of fun, scamper about the house leaving a trail of plain popped popcorn in your wake.” Or “Subliminal Game,” which works by sneaking a favorite word like “cookie” into otherwise boring jabber.*

The tricks require no fancy props or special talents—just a willingness to surrender yourself to sheer silliness. They combine the creative gift of touch— unexpected ways to rub, massage, scratch, tickle, and knead—with imaginative play scenarios that are just loopy enough to ensure your dog will be amused, whether he’s laughing with you or at you. These tricks really work.

*Don’t forget to have said cookie on hand.

    Reviewed in Japan on July 17, 2003

    昼下がりや夜の暇な時間に、何気に読んで、これまた
    何気に自分のワンちゃんに試してみると楽しい本です。
    ポケットサイズの本で、ページの半分がワンちゃんの
    笑い顔（モデルと称されてるそれぞれのワンちゃん）で、
    上半分が簡単な文章で、どんなことが犬は好きか、と
    動物病院の看護士をしている作者が、おもしろおかしく
    説明しています。
    犬ほど人間を楽しませることが好きな動物はいない、と
    前文で解説しています。　そんな犬達に、同じように
    楽しいことをお返ししたくなる、と。
    ワンちゃんとの遊びのレパートリーを増やせますし、
    また、ワンちゃんをマッサージしたり、撫でてあげたり、
    お互いにマッタリしたい時の参考にもなります。
    犬の写真集ではないので、笑い顔ばか㡊??は見れますが、
    要点は、文章がわからないと楽しめないかもしれません。
    でも、犬を飼っていて英語のわかる方へのプレゼントには
    とても良い本だと思います。
