101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog Product Description
Product 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. 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. It’s every dog lover’s privilege that Kyra and Chalcy took time from their performing schedule to share their secrets in 101 Dog Tricks.

This review is from:101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog
I’m so into this book! Beautifully designed, photographed and written, 101 Dog Tricks is perfect for me and my 5-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. Since he was six weeks old, Rocket has been getting by on his cuteness (and very well, I might add). In addition to being physically energetic, he has an active mind and gets bored easily. Kyra Sundance and Chalcy’s wonderful book has given him some fun mental challenges and, as the subtitle says, created a greater bond between us. I highly recommend this book!

I started working with my dog two days ago, using this book. I love it and so, it seems, does my dog. I had tried unsuccessfully to teach her some tricks, but soon just lost interest. Within minutes of using the techniques in this book, I saw progress. She’s already rolling over on her own, with a lure (treat), granted, but that is the successful first step. I expect in a few weeks, she will be doing it on command. We are also working on peek-a-boo and a few others, with great success. I also like that the author includes the training steps for agility, disc dogging, and dog dancing. What fun!101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog

The Art Of Raising a Puppy Product Description
The monks of New Skete have been breeding and training dogs at their New York monastery for more than 20 years. Their philosophy of raising dogs accentuates the essential human-canine bond, whereby owners must learn to understand a dog’s instincts, needs, and behavior. Understanding a dog, the monks say, is the key to successfully training him. They first published this philosophy in their 1978 classic guide How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend
The book observes a litter of monastery puppies from birth to 12 weeks. Tender photographs and dialogue reflect these precious first few weeks of life. Even at this time, the human-canine link is vital; the monks stress the importance of gentle touch to help forge this connection. Basic puppy training techniques are explored and executed, all of which puppy owners should find easy to implement. Virtually all types of dog problems and dog training are examined in the book, always in compassionate and easily comprehensible language. The monks also look well beyond surface training techniques to analyze the roots of dogs’ problems and explain how training can help. Owners are taught how to gently assert dominance over their dog, which will make for a long-lasting and fulfilling relationship. Beautiful black-and-white photographs of monastery puppies will pull at every heartstring.

Helped us immensely, February 1, 2000 By A Customer This review is from: The Art of Raising a Puppy
My husband and I are new to “puppyhood” and wanted some help. I did some research and was swayed by the reviews of the New Skete Monks’ book. I am very glad I purchased this book. It offered us insight into dog behavior, specifically in regards to living in a pack. We have had our Shepherd/Chow mix puppy for one month and she is wonderful. She’s 10-12 weeks old (we’re not sure) and can sit, lay and roll over on command. We just got her an eight week old playmate on 1-29-00 who is also a Shepherd mix of some kind. We are implementing the techniques we learned from The Art of Raising A Puppy with her as well. I was very nervous about the Chow in our first dog since I was attacked by my brother’s 12 years ago. However, the info on the owner establishing yourself as pack leader was indispensable. I feel more confident in training our dogs and am less fearful of their aggressive behavior when it occurs. I am now going to purchase the New Skete Monks book on How to be Your Dog’s Best Friend. Highly recommend this book. |
A must have for the new puppy owner!, October 27, 2009| By | Holly A. Jackson “Mom from Ohio”(Hilliard, OH USA)
This review is from: The Art of Raising a Puppy |
I’ll keep this short. If you own a puppy you MUST own this book The Art Of Raising a Puppy. It’s a wonderfully entertaining read. Better yet, buy it BEFORE you buy your puppy. Your puppy will thank you for it!
Required reading for all dog owners, September 20, 2009
This book should be required reading for all potential dog owners regardless of breed, owner age or if you’ve owned a dog before. Clearly written, easy to understand and sensibly presented. The information in this book will give you good insight on how your puppy’s mind works, what your puppy needs from you and why the puppy behaves as it does. Save yourself a lot of grief and aggravation in dealing with easily resolved behavior problems. If you read this book and implement it’s suggestions your dog will grow up being a better companion and you, a better person. Remember, there’s no such thing as a dumb dog – only dumb owners. |

GREAT FOR NEW PUPPY PARENTS, November 3, 2009
This review is from: How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With There’s a volume of good information here. Read the book before you buy the dog. It will guide you from deciding which breed is right for your family to how to potty train. |
Great Reference Book!, September 13, 2009| By | K-Dub (Springfield, IL) |
I read this book within a few days and it provided me with SO much information! At first I was overwhelmed, but afterwards I felt informed and confident to raise a well-behaved pet. The information is broken down into sections, based on age, which I found very helpful. You can browse back through those chapters periodically as your puppy grows. It also addressed different behaviors and personalities (both in the pup and person) and how training should differ. Overall, very helpful book that I will keep within reach for a while!
Good book for starters…, December 14, 2008This review is from:How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With
When I received this book, I realized it was not at all what I had been looking for. This book would have been great, had I bought it before I got my puppy. However, I’d had my little bundle of joy for a few weeks already, and was looking more for potty training, and training in general information. I must admit, I did read it, and learned quite a few new things, especially about behavior. I did skip the first half of the book though, as it did not pertain to us. It talks about how to prepare your home for when you get a puppy, and how to introduce them to the environment. If you haven’t gotten your puppy yet, this is a great first read.

This review is from: The Perfect Puppy (Paperback)
This book is essential reading for anyone about to buy or having just bought a new puppy. There is nothing worse than being confronted by a book full of jargon but this book is a joy to read. It is easy to pick up and put down when you have a spare five minutes and the information is written is very clear and easy to understand steps. Every issue of rearing a puppy is covered, including socialization, house training, playing games, dealing with anti-social behaviour etc. Its common sense approach fills you with confidence and helps you to understand the priorities in puppy training. |

4.0 out of 5 stars Puppy Power, 4 Nov 2002
This review is from: The Perfect Puppy (Paperback)
Everyone has a theory about how to train your dog, and everyone who has a dog will be keen to offer you advice on your new puppy. However in this book, it shows you the way to live with the ups and downs of your puppy growing up and how to cope with the sometimes-frustrating parts of living with a puppy, as well as how to help your pup develop into a well mannered and happy dog. There aren’t any wonderful or ‘wise’ cures in here, it helps us realise the best way to understand our puppy, is to use our common sense. The author is obviously a person with vast experience and know how. The book is written very well and succeeds in showing us two things: One, how as a puppy owner to deal with behaviour that is not acceptable and how to train and encourage growth in out pet, and two, That the world from the eyes of a puppy is very different to ours, and there are reasons why they do things, and that our pets behaviour is a way of it expressing its needs and wants, and to help them grow, we have to understand this as best we can. This is the ONLY book I would suggest a puppy owner, or someone thinking about getting a puppy to buy, read and use as a reference over the first few, and sometimes stressful months that your puppy will be in his or her new home. Good luck..:) |

The Bible for New Puppy Owners, 13 Nov 2009By Book Scout – This review is from: The Perfect Puppy (Paperback)
This book is indispensible for those aquiring a puppy for the first time. It prepares you for the stages you will face in your puppy’s development from getting him home to adolescence and beyond. The chapter on the correct use of a crate was life changing for us as it led to our latest puppy becoming housetrained within a week, this was unheard of with my previous dogs. Gwen Bailey places emphasis on the importance of socialization, leadership, controlling games, preventing biting as well as practical examples of basic training and discipline. Her techniques are humane and demonstrate her insight into a dog’s real needs. In short, she shows how instilling the correct training at the start of your puppy’s development will lead to a happier life for your dog as an adult. It is clearly written and with lots of full colour pictures. If you only buy one puppy training book I would suggest you make it this one. |
Great book, seems to have everything you need to start with, 18 Oct 2009| By | Elleode(UK) -This review is from: The Perfect Puppy (Paperback) |
Easy to read with clear instructions and tips to follow. Very glad I bought it most helpful.
All first time puppy owners should read this, 9 Sep 2009
If there is any book out there that you should read before getting your puppy this is it! Based on positive reward this book covers everything from choosing the right breeder and puppy, first night with puppy and a guideline to help you with a routine for the day. It also covers socialising, play-biting, handling and grooming, housetraining, chewing, good manners, learning to be alone and many other helpful chapters giving good advice. It is nicely presented in paperback with colour photos. I can’t recommend this book highly enough and think every first time puppy owner should read this. |
