Description

Show off your dog! And let your dog show off, too! Using the secrets of professional dog trainers, this fully illustrated guide with hundreds of step- by-step photos show how to teach your pet 118 tricks and stunts. Organized from beginner level to pro, these tricks run the gamut from the kinds of things any well-behaved dog should know—fetch, paw shake, roll over—to stunts that will delight your friends and family, from dance routines to flying disc acrobatics. You’ll even learn the tricks behind filmmaking with dogs to create your own movie magic and performance showstoppers. And there are benefits far beyond the wow factor. Teaching your dog tricks will not only reveal more of your dog’s real personality, including hidden talents, it will also improve your pet’s behavior, reinforce socialization, prevent boredom and restlessness, and instill your pet with greater confidence. And dramatically enrich the relationship the two of you already share. Read more

    • Perfect to teach: few easy lessons and quick learning
Format: Paperback
I have an older pit bull who spends his whole day sleeping except for 2 walks a day. I happened to come across this book and bought it hoping to give my boy something interesting to do. Knowing he’s a quick learner I hoped this book may give him a few things to do when he opens his eyes. The first thing I saw was retrieving and I needed that …….. when I pass out and recover I’ll need my meds right away. The training was a quick learn and if there was nothing more in the book it would be worth every dime for me. The only additional thing I needed to buy was a RED CROSS emergency box to hold my meds for him to carry. Now all I need is for him to press 911 on my cell phone lololol that’s impossible his paws are huge but they do show how to press elevator buttons our next trick. This is a fantastic training book easy to teach easy to learn!!! Two prices for new and used books both are inexpensive. ... show more

Helpful book- our new rescue has learned about 6 tricks and close on a few others. I think it could do more with the most basic trick

    • Awesome book! Clearly written instructions that actually work on my dog
Format: Kindle
Review Image by Geekgurl36 Geekgurl36
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).

    • Been Searching for a Book Like This
Format: Paperback
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! ... show more

Got this book for my 9 year old grandson to train his dog. He has enjoyed using this book and playing with his dogs. This book was recommended at a stunt dog show. They used dogs from the pound so I figured it was worth the try.
