Synopsis

Presented as a comprehensive guide to trick training, this book sets out a step-by-step method designed to help readers start training straight away. Each trick is shown with full-colour photographs of both the trick itself and the training stages, supported by difficulty ratings and prerequisites.

Alongside the core instructions, tips and troubleshooting boxes focus on common issues, while “build-on” ideas outline ways to develop more complex tricks from each new skill. The authors also note that trick training can support bonding and communication, and that many tricks develop skills used in dog sports, dog dancing, and dog therapy work.
