Reseña del editor:

This follow-up guide to the internationally best-selling 101 Dog Tricks invites you to focus on 30 foundational tricks and to track and gauge your progress in teaching them with 30 trick cards, a workbook, and online video tutorials. The program will enhance not only your dog's performance, but your overall relationship with your dog. With this workbook, learn the core concepts of dog training, and apply those concepts in training 30 different tricks. As you progress, you will find directions to pull certain trick cards that illustrate the step-by-step instructions for teaching that trick. The online videos supplement and enhance these instructions with video sequences of the tricks. As you work from level to level, you will master the key elements of dog training-timing, technique, motivation, and building on known behaviors-as you achieve a stronger bond with your dog. Each section concludes with review quizzes and prompts to re-evaluate your knowledge, your dog's progress, and your relationship. The numbered trick cards identify the difficulty level and the specific skill reinforced for each trick. The tricks are explained with step-by-step instructional text and photos, with space for notes and logging your progress, and range from basic (Sit, Shake Hands, Paws Up) to advanced (Newspaper Delivery, Tidy Up Your Toys, Get a Soda from the Fridge). With this complete curriculum in dog tricks, you will establish a conscious and consistent pattern of relating to your dog in a meaningful partnership based on trust, communication, and respect.
