Product Description

Trick training is a great way to bond with your dog, help him integrate into your family, and keep him mentally and physically challenged.

A wide range of tricks for every dog and skill level: beg, bow, say your prayers, find the remote, and more! Step-by-step instructions to guide the trainer; troubleshooting tips to solve problems; and "build-on" ideas that encourage taking a mastered skill to the next level.

Complex tricks are broken down into smaller, easier-to-learn skills, with a brief overview of how the trick works and what to expect.

As a dog professional I have a large library of training books. This book has made it to the top of my list as one of the best! I have always encouraged owners to train tricks as a way to build the relationship they have with their dogs. This book has very easy to understand instructions as well as showing which tricks are easy or more advanced. The pictures show the enjoyment of both Kyra and Chalcy. I highly recommend this to all dog owners!!!

I have been training my dogs in agility for 5 years. Sometimes you get so focused on one area of training you forget the casual fun you can have with your dogs. The methods in this book are all positive motivational. There are lots of side bars that explain some of the pit falls you can run into when training. It explains how you can chain tricks together to create new tricks. I'm NOT planning on teaching the dogs to fetch a soda from the fridge however. I just don't imagine my beagle passing the lunch meats. The only thing that this book doesn't provide is the time necessary to fit into my schedule.
