 Dogs just want to have fun (with their human) September 17, 2007

This is probably the most clear cut and useful book I have ever seen on dog training. I have 2 copies and am planning to buy a 3rd. I have one at home, in my travel trailer and will soon have one at work as well. I want to keep it at my finger tips. 101 Tricks stays away from tedious, clinical jargon that can make training overwhelming and boring. Yet, the training methods are always positive and humane. The real goal of the book is to strengthen the human/K9 bond, while your dog learns to learn and you both have fun. The trick training instructions require no previous experience. You and your dog can jump in and start working on the simpler tricks and build up. More experienced trainers will also enjoy teaching tricks. It is at the least a list of tricks that you may not ever think of teaching, but don't be deceived. You will find yourself feeling happy, joyous and loving your dog more as you see quick results from the step by step instructions Kyra and Chalcy share. I have even used this book in my classroom as a guide to teach my 5th and 6th grade students to set goals and list steps for acheving them. (I am hoping they will take some tips from it and work with their own dogs at home.)101 Dog Tricks is much more than directions for teaching tricks to your dog. It is a book, as the title says, for challenging, engaging and bonding with your dog. Can't wait for Kyra and Chalcy's next book!

Easy to read with photos. Excellent advice and "how-to's". I've had the book for about two weeks and have taught my Akita four new tricks. Definitely would buy this book all over again.
Great! August 23, 2007

I love this book. The pictures alone are worth it. The photography is beautiful. The pictures of Kyra and her dog are soooo cute. Also, the pictures give you a very clear understanding of the steps involved in training for any specific trick.
I love this book.
 Pooches to please August 14, 2007

My #1 complaint with dog training is it's so response-stimulus on BOTH ends...I always feel a bit like the Skinner box rat. That said, this book avoids a lot of operant conditioning and builds on our furry friends desire to please us just because they want to.
I have dogs of all sizes and so-called "intelligences" (please read the work of Harvard's H. Gardner to learn more of what I think about that sinister term!) and they're all SMARTER than I am...and I'm working on my MS degree! One thing's for sure they LOVE learning cool new tricks...and I love that I don't have to clicker or study the "contingencies of behavior" in order to have them play dead or walk a toy around the room.
