Product Description
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.

Fun for you and your dog!
I started training from this book when my dog was 9 weeks old. The tricks are great mental stimulation for my puppy and takes his attention away from chewing on the couch (for a little while). The great thing about this book is that it helped me explore my puppy's personality. For example, I had trouble getting him to roll over. He'd go part of the way and stop. So instead, we practiced play dead. He got that immediately and it's so cute to say bang and watch him flop over on his back. This book gives a variety of skills to learn so if your dog is having trouble with one, do another trick and come back to that one. I know the author lists prerequisites for each trick, but those aren't set in stone. Spend some time with your dog and see what he can do. It'll be fun for the both of you, I promise.
Greatest Book Ever
Fantastic book! Easy read and great directions! Love it! My two young girls have also looked it over and tried to teach our dog the tricks.
101 Dog Tricks
Wonderful book!! Easy step by step instructions. My dog now knows 14 tricks and is on her way to becoming a very well behaved dog. She now looks to me for a command instead of racing through the house with something in her mouth she shouldn't have. She loves learning now.
