Product Description
51 Puppy Tricks gives puppy owners the tools they need to teach behaviors and tricks to their puppy through step-by-step instructions and photographs. Most other puppy training books focus on curbing bad behavior. Some have training, but only the most basic tricks. Kyra’s curriculum differs from that of 101 Dog Tricks in that the instructions are geared for the less mature dog. Young puppies are not yet well-tuned to humans, and respond better to a clicker than to a voice. Also, young puppies have so few skills that everyone benefits from a technique called “shaping” which breaks a behavior into minute steps for easier learning. And, of course, puppies receive extra gentle care when we teach, focused more on instilling a love of learning and a communication pathway rather than accomplishing the goal behavior.

This book is a watered down version of the author’s other book titled “101 Dog Tricks.” Buy that one instead. It includes all of these tricks plus many more!!!

Wonderful! Not just for pups, but for all your doggys! Great, easy to follow step by step instructions WITH step by step color PHOTOS to show you each task and/or trick taught in this book. A very very low price for all you get. I will use it even teach my service dog some useful tasks that I need help with. Oh… and a few to impress the friends! Kids and adults could use this book to work with their doggys. Great for clicker training, giving hand signals… they’ve included it all in this book. I am soooooo glad I got this helpful book!
