Product Description

"101 Dog Tricks" is the largest trick book on the market and the only book with a full-colour photo of every trick presented, and colour photos of each step in the process. This is not a study guide or a training philosophy book; the step-by-step approach, tips, trouble-shooting boxes and difficulty ratings allow readers to start trick training in five minutes. Some training books require special tools (such as clicker training) or an understanding of dog psychology, but "101 Dog Tricks" simply spells out the actions to take. Trick training is a must for all dog owners who consider their dogs part of the family. A dog that learns tricks is better trained and better behaved overall because basic commands are understood and the human/pet communication is in place.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun!!!, 11 Jan 2008

By	R. L. Barratt "rach" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was running seriously short on tricks to teach my smart-alec puppy so got this book to see if I could challenge him. I couldn't be more impressed!

The tricks are set out with (at least) a page per item- most have a double spread. Every trick is illustrated- this is done well considering how hard it is to represent a dog in motion!- and there are step-by-step instructions. Tricks are rated from beginner to advanced and there's something for every dog in each section. The tricks vary from simple obedience skills to fun stuff like 'answering the phone' to tricky weaves and spins. So whether you just want a better behaved pooch or you want to show off how clever he is, there's plenty for you.

There's a lot here to keep me and Max occupied for quite a while. This book would suit anyone looking to have fun on the way to teaching their dog a few cool tricks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than a dog trick book., 4 May 2008

By	G. Graham (Northumberland, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't particularly approve of animals doing "tricks" & have always had misgivings about that. However, this book uses the "tricks" (I use inverted commas because it starts with SIT, DOWN, COME and so on, which we would not usualy call tricks, but are the building blocks)to build a better bond between you and your dog - and thats the whole ethos to the authors method. The "tricks" are so clearly set out and explained from the basics, & go step by step to the result - even to providing troubleshooting hints. The book makes clear that the key is patience and affection and that your dog absolutely must be having fun. They make no pretence that you'll get instant results (though it depends on what your dog already likes doing - we perfected an "Advanced" trick in 3 days, because it built on a behaviour our dog already enjoys) The photography is vibrant and a sheer joy in itself - the photographer is an award winner, and it really is easy to see why. We achieved our first "trick" out of the book which involved me, our dog and my daughter (see the idea? - real bonding stuff with your dog & family) in three days - with our dog just having a real sheer fun time and plainly loving it) and ending up doing something like a circus trick!(page 110).
I read this book in our local library and just had to buy a copy. I've NEVER in 30 years of dog ownership, found a book which is so clearly laid out, realistic and based on mutual affection in it's methods. The whole family is having fun with it - and most of all our dog is! I wish I could find a fault with this to give a balanced review... but I can't!

5.0 out of 5 stars All training books should be this good., 30 Oct 2008

By	Maz - See all my reviews

From the second I pulled this book from the Amazon cardboard cover, it was clear that a great deal of planning and care had gone into making it. The full colour photo on the front glossy cover mirrors the gorgeous photo work that is used throughout the book too.

Make no mistake, this book is about one thing and one thing only - teaching your dog 101 new tricks. It makes no claim to be anything more or less than that. After only four pages of introduction and overview of rewards / jackpot / etc, the trick training begins.

Each trick is detailed with at least one colour photo showing the step(s) required to complete it. The photos are 'cut out' photos meaning that there are no distracting backgrounds, just the dog, the handler, and any props that are used.

The text is clear and concise and nicely framed to make following the instructions as clear as can be. Each page contains a 'Troubleshooting' section to offer possible solutions in case things go wrong.

There are one or two tricks that might not suit the smaller dog, such as turning off the lights (the smaller dog won't reach the light switch), but these are very limited indeed.

The training methods are positive, with only very limited physical coersion alternative methods offered on one or two basic obedience exercises (Sit and Down) in the unlikley event that they are needed.

Everything about this book oozes quality and I wish that other instructional books would use it as the template on which to base their own works. In a nutshell, it's worth every penny. Really glad that I made this purchase.
