2019 PB in excellent condition. 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.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Some people don't believe their pets should have to perform. Don't knock it 'til you try it! Casey, my Cockapoo, and I have had so much fun with this book. Right away she learned to get excited when I asked, "Want to do a TRICK?" Some are simple. Some are involved. Casey occasionally gets a little frustrated. . . time for a treat and trick time is over. We both are happy I bought this book"; ""; "The definitive guide to trick training, after reading this I felt like I honestly didn't need any other trick training resources besides maybe video/visual examples which I have YouTube for! Even includes troubleshooting or alternative ways to do something if your dog just isn't getting it, sooo helpful!"; "I ordered 3 copies of this book, 1 for each set of grandchildren - all 10 and under - to help them have fun with their dogs. Easy for the kids to understand and they have been successful teaching their dogs some tricks."; "We love this training book. It's broken into sections, beginner, intermediate, etc. Trick instructions are easy to understand with simple steps building up to final trick. And many tricks build upon previously learned tricks. Great for dogs at all stages of learning. This will be a book we use for a long time!"
