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.

November 19, 2009: This is the best dog training book I've used! I've had dogs all my life and have tried multiple methods to train them. Kyra's approach, and the illustrated step-by-step method, really helped me teach my dog new tricks. It was so easy - even a beginner could do it. My dog learned easy tricks usually in 1 session (though it takes a couple practice sessions to ensure good repeat performance). Using positive reinforcement (clicker and treats)training was like a game that we both looked forward to. There are so many tricks to pick from in this book, I was able to find useful and fun tricks for my dog to learn - and we have lots of material for future training/game sessions.
This book is fun, informative, beautifully illustrated and the techniques really work!
