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.

But it's a good fun book that allow us to spend more bonding time with our dog.
101 Dog Tricks:
It is a great read and has very valuable information. It will be a resource for quite awhile for my 5 month old pup.
Best Dog Training Book I've found:
I raise Goldendoodle and Golden Retriever puppies and also train puppies. I have chosen this book to give to every person who adopts one of my puppies. I use the hand signals shown in the book since it makes an easy transition for the new owners to continue the training. This book is so well illustrated that even children can teach some of the tricks. And it isn't just tricks. The first portion of the book explains some of the important basic training needed for a successful dog. And that's what my adopting... more info
