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.

While this book may be a lot of fun, it is certainly not the only book to use step-by-step instructions and full-color photos. In fact, it’s layout seems to have been designed on The Trick Is in the Training, long available from Barrons.
This book is longer, but it is NOT the first to use photos to illustrate the training, be full-color, and offer tips on solving problems and other ways to use behaviors.

I wanted a book that teachers your dog the basics. This book focuses on the extraodinary tricks.

I was considering buying this book…the list of tricks is wonderful and it appears to be well done. I read through the sample pages and, as a long time professional trainer, was disappointed to see SIT being taught with the old ‘push on the hips, pull up on the collar’ technique. For those of us trying to stay current in newer teaching techniques that is a bit of “the world is flat”. Lest I throw out the whole book because of one outdated technique, can anyone give me a bit more info.
Thanks.

My #1 complaint with dog training is it’s so response-stimulus on BOTH ends…I always feel a bit like the Skinner box rat. That said, this book avoids a lot of operant conditioning and builds on our furry friends desire to please us just because they want to.
I have dogs of all sizes and so-called “intelligences” (please read the work of Harvard’s H. Gardner to learn more of what I think about that sinister term!) and they’re all SMARTER than I am…and I’m working on my MS degree! One thing’s for sure they LOVE learning cool new tricks…and I love that I don’t have to clicker or study the “contingencies of behavior” in order to have them play dead or walk a toy around the room.

I AM JUST DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THIS BOOK HAS A LOT THAT ONLY BIGGER DOGS CAN DO. MY DOG IS A 3LB POODLE AND WOULD NEED A LADDER TO OPEN THE DOOR,IT CANT GET THE TELEPHONE BECAUSE ITS TOO HEAVY, I WOULD NEVER HAVE IT LEARN TO WALK ON A LADDER..THERES JUST A LOT OF BIG DOG TRICKS N NOT THE SMALL DOG TRICKS
