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.

What fun!:
Although I seriously doubt that my little Nellie will ever come close to doing what Chalcy does, we are still having a ball learning together from 101 Dog Tricks. The format of this book is wonderfully easy to follow and the photos are delightful. Thanks Kyra for providing us with one more way to thoroughly enjoy sharing our lives with dogs!
Lots of good dog tricks:
My puppy is just starting to learn "sit", but the behavior shaping that the book illustrates will be useful in the future.
Loads of fun:
This book is great. I have a young puppy, so we haven't gone very far with the tricks quite yet, but this is sure to foster a bond between us and be loads of fun. Some of the tricks in this book are outright hilarious!
