Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

51 Puppy Tricks gives puppy owners the tools they need to teach behaviours and tricks to their puppy through step-by-step instructions and photographs.

Most other puppy training books focus on curbing bad behaviour. 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 behaviour 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 behaviour.
