101 Dog Tricks is the largest trick book on the market and the only one presenting full-color photos of each trick and its training steps. The step-by-step approach, difficulty rating, and prerequisites allow readers to start training immediately. Tips and trouble-shooting boxes cover common problems, while "build-on" ideas suggest more complicated tricks which build on each new skill. No special tools (such as clickers) or knowledge of specific training methods are required. Trick training is a great way to bond with your dog and help him integrate into your family. It keeps him mentally and physically challenged and helps to establish paths of communication between you. Many tricks build skills needed for common dog sports, dog dancing, and dog therapy work. It's every dog lover's privilege that Kyra and Chalcy took time from their performing schedule to share their secrets in 101 Dog Tricks.

Great book for fun training!,

This review is from: 101 Dog Tricks: Step-by-Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog (Paperback)
This book is perfect for training! Each training exercise has the hand signal, and verbal cue, as well as pictures of the Weimeraner doing each step of the training. I am very excited to start training our puppy with some of these tricks. Everything you could imagine... from the basics like sit, down, etc. to bringing you a beer from the fridge, or hiding his head in shame. Excellent book!

My dog, Chutney, is a clever dog. He's a mini-poodle, on the smallish side. I bought this book hoping I could use his intelligence for good, rather than for the sorting of my laundry and the shredding of various important papers. Tricks in this book vary from sit and stay to training your dog to go to the fridge and get you a beer. I laughed myself senseless at the thought of little Chutney trying to drag me a beer. Or open the fridge.Still, there are excellent instructions about training with treats and also clickers, with lots of photographs of a dog much smarter than yours doing everything perfectly. It's vaguely depressing as you struggle to get your strong-minded pup to shake a paw, let alone retrieve newspapers, etc. But the bright colours and the apparent joy of the dog in performing these tricks makes it all seem possible. I figure if I start with those baby bottles of Corona....

Kudos for Positive Training!,

This review is from: 101 Dog Tricks: Step-by-Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog (Paperback)
Dog tricks are fun - they draw attention, spark conversations, bring pleasure and satisfaction to the dog handler. But more importantly, as this wonderful book demonstrates, they can be very beneficial to our dogs and our relationships with them. The positive training and motivational techniques taught in this book not only strengthen the bond between dog and human but also promote canine physical and mental health, safety, and happiness. The layout of the book is superb - beautiful step-by-step photos, hand signals, easy-to-follow instructions, and even troubleshooting. Bravo to Kyra Sundance and her associates! (Especially the dogs!)
