The Big Book of Tricks for the Best Dog Ever: A Step-by-Step Guide to 118 Amazing Tricks and Stunts

Best book for tricks. Get it! Every dog owner should have this. From basics to extreme stunts. It tells you everything.

I just adopted a 7 yo pitbull mix that has already gone through training and I want to continue her training with some fun tricks. She loves our time together and I know that training with your dog strengthens your bond with your dog so when I saw this book I was very intrigued. I downloaded the Kindle version so that I would have it with me anywhere I went and started training that same day. Lexi had someone early in her life who mistreated her. She is a loving, affectionate pup but she has trust issues. So training her to do "Peekaboo" but a challenge, but we prevailed. I was patient and gentle and eventually, she trusted me enough to walk under my legs. I was SO proud of my baby girl!! Today we are going to work on the series that build-up to "Playing Dead". I've always wanted a dog that played dead, lol. If you are serious about training your dog, then you need this book. It gives clear instructions on how to perform the "trick" as well as pointers if your dog presents challenges. They also give you alternate ways to perform the trick, if available. It has SO much information and SO many tricks. I honestly can't believe the book was so inexpensive. I do recommend getting the Kindle version of the book so you can carry it with you everywhere you go. While it is nice to set aside some time for dog training in your day, they get the most out of it when you incorporate it into normal day-to-day stuff like going outside to go potty. I let Lexi do her thing then we briefly review a trick or two and she loves it. It keeps her engaged and burns some of her energy. Pitbulls tend to have a lot of energy to exert so the more you use their brain the better (and the less trouble they get into).

Love this book and I've already taught my Chihuahua X a few of these tricks. However, I don't think every trick can be taught to every breed because a tiny little Chihuahua isn't going to be able to do some of the tricks that bigger dogs can do. Overall though, it's a great book and it's fun to teach your dog new tricks. My dog is 4 years old but still a quick learner.

Love this book! It's full of fun tricks and lots of great ideas. Perfect for pups and parents too.

This book is absolutely amazing. Step-by-step directions with great pictures. Great for all ages and easy to follow. Pretty soon you are going to be showing your dog tricks off to your friends.

Let's get real, my dogs are smarter than I am. When I figure out in small steps how to communicate with them, I over the moon! And they look at my with a "duh, how did it take you so long" look on their face. We do go to a trainer, and he is great! But he gives me way too much information each lesson and ultimately winds up confusing me. I think he is better if the dogs are left with him, but I'm just not willing to do that. Anyway, The Big Book of Tricks for the Best Dog Ever is exactly what I've been looking for. There are plenty of tricks and ways of communication to stretch these pups' brains, and each trick is broken down into small, easy to achieve steps that are then chained together. I have tried numerous other training books, and they'll say things akin to "have your dog sit" but they don't tell you how to make the sit happen to begin. In this book they tell you exactly how to accomplish the sit, THEN you move on to the step that says "have your dog sit". They also teach non adverse training, so there is no use of pinch, choke, etc. From beginner to advanced, this book is great! We are slowly working our way through it. My puppies are having a great time with it and so am I!

Cannot believe the amount of different tricks that are in this book!

I just received the book. The contents are great, however, I'm very disappointed in the condition of the book. It has scratches, scuffs, and torn pages/cover. I've attached pictures

Good

Muy buen libro para aprender a enseñar trucos a nuestros compañerxs de vida

Bel libero! Spiega passo per passo tutti I passaggio per insegnare al cane diversi comandi

Excellent book. I am on page 8 and I can't even put it down. I love their approach to dog training - many paths to victory for dogs amd every dog's learning style is different. One method doesn't work - find another one that does. One of the best books I have started reading - so many trainers sell you a specific method or one way. Having trained dogs many years I am always open to hearing and reading other trainers views and approaches. This boom has 5 stars from me. Love it!
