teaching your puppy early and using positive reinforcement methods,

willing partner in the learning process. Trick training builds
relationships by deepening communication pathways, trust, and
mutual respect. It offers a way to bond with your puppy as you
strive toward common goals and delight in your successes. The trust
and cooperative spirit developed through this process will last a
lifetime. Step-by-step instruction guides you through the simple
