Is your dog an overachiever? The Most Amazing Smart Dog Tricks offers nine tricks for smart dogs from the best-selling 101 Dog Tricks by celebrity dog trainer Kyra Sundance. Included are 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. Featured tricks are:
