Expanded Description:
"101 Dog Tricks" is the largest trick book on the market and the only one presenting full-color photos of each trick and its training steps. The step-by-step approach, difficulty rating, and prerequisites, allow readers to start training immediately. Tips, and trouble-shooting boxes cover common problems, while "build-on" ideas suggest more complicated tricks which build on each new skill. No special tools (such as clickers) or knowledge of specific training methods are required. Featuring step-by-step photos of every trick in the book.
Trick training is a great way to bond with your dog and help him integrate into your family. It keeps him mentally and physically challenged and helps to establish paths of communication between you. Many tricks build skills needed for common dog sports, dog dancing, and dog therapy work.

| Great ideas, training needs work, October 9, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Shaya French |
A+ for awesome trick ideas, nice layout and great pictures. C for execution and training suggestions. I have several problems with the training ideas. First of all, don't use a cue until your dog is doing it properly. Don't encourage the dog to do the trick for the first time with the cue. Please!
Also, I would have liked to see clickers encouraged more.
I question if all of the ideas actually work. For instance I tried the suggestions for 'bow'. 'Push your hand toward your dog's nose and downward with your dog standing in front of you.' I tried it with several variations and couldn't make it work. I've had more luck shaping that cue. So, I'd say it's a worthwhile book for expanding your imagination on tricks but you might need to draft your own way of training them. |

| Great Book, January 22, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Robin Scearce |
| This book is fun for the experienced and easy enough for the novice. Good solid techniques are used to acheive the results. A great thing to use aside from more formal training. It will help you keep things interesting and fresh in your training. I was able to gather a few tips and hints that helped in other areas of my training. I highly recommend it. |
