Embark on a beautiful and meaningful adventure with your dog! Teaching your dog to do tricks is a guaranteed way for you and your pet to bond more deeply. It will also help you discover more of your dog's real personality - even hidden talents - while instilling you, the trainer, with confidence and connection. And it's never been easier than with The Big Book of Tricks for the Best Dog Ever, which uses the power of positive reinforcement and illustrated step-by-step instructions to show how you to teach your dog 112 tricks and stunts. Cowritten by two masters - Larry Kay, coauthor of the award-winning bestseller Training the Best Dog Ever, and Chris Perondi, master trainer and owner of Stunt Dog Productions, which conducts more than 1,000 performances a year - The Big Book of Tricks works for dogs of all ages, puppy on up. (Yes, now you can teach an old dog new tricks.) Organised from beginner (Fetch, Paw Shake [and Fist Bump], Play 'Possum, Tug and Release) to advanced (vaulting off your knee, weaving through agility poles, running through a parkour course), these tricks run the gamut from the kinds of things any well-behaved pet should know to stunts that will wow your friends and family and, if photographed or filmed and shared, seriously raise your dog-owner social media profile. Be positive, celebrate your bond, and have fun - it's the best way to spend time with the best dog ever.
"Training the Best Dog Ever", originally published in hardcover as "The Love That Dog Training Program", is a book based on love and kindness. It features a program of positive reinforcement and no-fail techniques that author Dawn Sylvia- Stasiewicz used to train the White House dog, Bo Obama, and each of Senator Ted Kennedy's dogs, among countless others. "Training the Best Dog Ever" relies on trust and treats, not choke collars; on bonding, not lead-yanking or reprimanding. The five-week training program takes only 10 to 20 minutes of practice a day and works both for puppies and for adult dogs that need to be trained out of bad habits. Illustrated with step-by-step photographs, the book covers hand-feeding; crate and potty training; and basic cues - sit, stay, come here - as well as more complex goals, such as bite inhibition and water safety. It shows how to avoid or correct typical behaviour problems, including jumping, barking, and lead-pulling. Plus: how to make your dog comfortable in the world - a dog that knows how to behave in a vet's office, is at ease around strangers, and more. In other words, the best dog ever.
