Whether one has a difficult dog or a charm-school puppy, part of the fun is how much a pup wants to play. With Knack Dog Tricks in hand, anyone can teach a dog a new set of tricks. Featuring 450 step-by-step, full-color photos, the book first establishes training basics, and then shows how to enhance core training sessions with classic tricks such as “shake hands” and “roll over.” And it covers advanced obedience games; agility training; jumping, retrieving, and digging tricks; flashy frisbee tricks—and useful tricks such as finding the remote, retrieving the newspaper, and cornering the cat.

Knack Dog Care & Training brings together every aspect of the subject in one information- and picture-packed volume. Carina MacDonald’s fun, upbeat presentation ranges from the basics of choosing and getting a dog to a wonderfully complete, visually organized treasure-trove of tips on training one’s dog, addressing behavior problems, and making sure he or she stays healthy.
