Tricks and Games to Teach Your Dog is the how-to book for dog owners looking to improve their ?fun factor” in their dogs’ eyes. Author Sophie Collins, assisted by Suellen Dainty, promise that any owner of a dog?no matter what age, breed, activity level, size or personality?can transform his pooch into an accomplished performer in brief daily five-minute training sessions. In all, the book offers 80 tricks and games, from the tried-and-true rainy-day tricks like ?roll over” and ?play dead” to out-of-the-box surprises like ?lion tamer” and the ?commando crawl.” Fully illustrated with color photographs and drawings, Tricks and Games to Teach Your Dog serves as a game plan for busy owners who wish to spend more quality time with their dogs, engaging them in educational games to improve their obedience skills while deepening the dogs’ bonds with their owners. Readers can teach their dogs helpful household tasks, such as the ?laundry service,” ?fetch my keys” and ?answer the door,” as well as games that expand their repertory of manners, such as ?say please,” ?learning a ?stop’ signal,” and ?dinner time.” The authors emphasize the importance of safety in teaching tricks and games and caution owners to only work with safe objects when teaching fetching or finding games.  The book is filled with practical training tips that owners can use throughout their dogs’ lives. Once an owner is confident and aware of his own technique, he will be better prepared to give the dog specific direction and not confuse the dog by giving false cues or misusing body language, tone of voice or hand signals. The level of difficulty in the lessons range from the simplest (?high five” and ?stand ten”) to more challenging tricks like ?shut the door,” ?push the ball” and ?freeze.”  The unmistakable focus of the book is fun and activity, and no dog (or owner) ever wants to lead a dull, boring existence. To that end, the authors discuss some great fun outings to bring an owner’s play sessions with his dog to an all-time high: camping, volleyball, biking and hiking for starters. And for really adventurous overachievers, the authors provide a brief introduction to the ever-popular obstacle-course sport known as dog agility.","brand":"Sophie Collins | Suellen Dainty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":49267592102169,"sku":"0883","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6446\/3129\/files\/978-1-62187-088-3.jpg?v=1720117459"},{"product_id":"canine-tracking-guide","title":"Canine Tracking Guide","description":"Canine Tracking Guide details the two most common uses of the canine nose: following blood trails for wounded game and tracking humans (from lost children and missing hikers, to escaped convicts).

Fearlessness, keenness and endurance made this muscular little breed from England a storied hunter of vermin during the Industrial Revolution, though today he is rarely used as a working dog. A descendant of the original Black and Tan Terrier from England, the Manchester Terrier is regarded as the foundation of various other breeds, including the popular Doberman Pinscher. Though other black and tan dogs have surpassed the Manchester in popularity, no breed excels this gentleman’s breed in agility, elegance or devotion. This Special Limited Edition, written by terrier expert and breeder Muriel P. Lee, surveys the Manchester’s history in England and traces the breed to the shores of the United States, where it is separated into two varieties, Standard and Toy, identical except for size and ears. The author also discusses the Manchester Terrier’s characteristics and breed standard. New owners will find advice on choosing a breeder and well-bred puppy as well as information on feeding, exercise, house-training and basic obedience. A thorough, up-to-date chapter on canine healthcare, written by veterinarian Dr. Lowell Ackerman, covers topics including veterinarian selection, vaccinations, preventive care and parasite control.\"","brand":"Michael Trafford | Muriel P.

Become a dog whisperer! Every dog owner has challenges in training their dog or dogs and, more importantly, in breaking bad habits. In fact, outside of the enjoyment they provide us, dog behavior is a major concern, even for owners with well-behaved canines. With some owners, the behavior goes beyond merely concerning and enters into the realm of problematic and even dangerous. Better Dog Behavior and Training: Correcting and Curing Bad Habits addresses the concerns of both those who just got a puppy and those with dogs in their senior years. It shows the owner and dog trainer how to master dog training through positive reinforcement, including addressing aggressive behavior, while resorting to more drastic measures only when absolutely necessary. The author, Charlotte Schwartz, is a dog behaviorist who specializes in dog training and behavior modification. She provides her insights, gleaned over decades of work, regarding how to train dogs from the beginning, how to address bad habits and developing habits, and how to make sure the dog knows what behavior is acceptable in certain settings and what is not. In the book, you will learn: *How to train the dog from puppy through their senior years *How to address dangerous or bad habits *How to escalate training safely if initial training is not working *Tips on controlling animal behavior in a safe but effective manner *Advice on solving everyday, recurring behavioral issues *How to encourage good behavior from your dog while discouraging bad behavior *Why dogs do what they do, what motivates them, and how to use that to get the behavior you want to see from your dog *What to do if your animal is particularly stubborn or develops bad behavior later on in its life. With a candor not often associated with dog training and a realistic approach to modifying problematic behavior or instilling discipline in dogs, Schwartz has put together a common sense, easily read and digested manual for anyone who owns a dog. Even if you have a senior dog who is developing some behaviors that need changing, this book can help you teach that old dog new tricks (and behavior). If you are a dog owner or if you already have dogs and want to learn a few more tricks in behavior modification, purchase Better Dog Behavior and Training: Correcting and Curing Bad Habits today!","brand":"Charlotte Schwartz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":49267948781849,"sku":"3792","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6446\/3129\/files\/978-1-59378-379-2.jpg?v=1697678177"},{"product_id":"know-your-ducks","title":"Know Your Ducks","description":"Know Your Ducks is designed for the novice enthusiast of any age.

He spent much of his life running a mixed arable and livestock farm at Hartburn, near Morpeth, Northumberland. In the 1970s he began drawing cartoons and writing regularly for farming magazines, including the West Cumberland Farmers Journal, regional NFU journals and Livestock Farming. Booklets of his collected pieces were immensely popular. Farming Press issued the first of Henry's full collections of cartoons in 1983. Funnywayt'mekalivin' was the star attraction of that year's Smithfield Show when Henry signed copies on the Farming Press stand. Henry sold his farm on a lease-back arrangement and began to devote more time to writing and drawing. A small industry grew up around him, with Christmas cards, licensed prints, statuettes, decorated beer mugs, tee-shirts and audio-tapes. He was also in demand as an after-dinner speaker. In his youth Henry had been a keen cricketer, fielding at silly mid-off, and despite many years of illness he continued to enjoy sport, particularly golf. Henry died in 2000 leaving three children and two grandchildren.","brand":"Henry Brewis","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":49916921413913,"sku":"3979L","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6446\/3129\/files\/978-1-90552-397-9.jpg?v=1702659763"},{"product_id":"house-training-your-dog","title":"House-training Your Dog","description":"A positive-training approach to house-training dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, Charlotte Schwartz’s House-training Your Dog guarantees to get puppies trained in a hurry and to solve ongoing or newly occurring potty issues with older dogs.
