101 Dog Tricks Kids Edition by Kyra Sundance is a wonderful kid orientated dog training book that brings lots of fun to the job of dog training. Trying to get my kids to work with their dogs and train them has always been a chore. A friend recommended this book and we love it. The kids have found the dog training tips to be fun and easy to follow. This book does not have a lot extra facts that bore a reader. The author gets to the point and the book includes lots of step-by-step helpful pictures so that the kids can grasp the concepts that she is teaching. The book also has some fun crafts for dogs. We especially love the "Crinkle Dog Toy" that shows how to make a quick and easy toy for dogs. Our dogs love those and making them is so much cheaper than replacing the ones the dogs destroy in their play. We also loved the "Dog Walking Depot" project. We are always searching for the doggy bags, leashes and treats. Now we have one spot to put them all in. We loved this book and can highly recommend it for other families looking to inspire their kids to bond and play more with their dogs. I forgot to mention that if you are looking for more challenging dog tricks to teach your pet, then I would recommend Kyra Sundance's other book 101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog
We just received our copy today and couldn't be happier! My 9 year old daughter loves it! She is excited about the crafts, and all the doggy toys/tools you can build. She has already starting working with our dogs and taught our old dog new tricks! She likes the pictures and says it is so easy to understand! We have really loved this author and I recommend her to anyone and everyone for the clarity of instructions coupled with photographs or illustrations in her books. I was impressed because I had a hard time working with our older dog and she already taught her the "paws up" trick!!
I just got a copy of this book (no kids, three dogs, but was a big fan of the author's previous books!) --When I first got my RUSTY, I used Kyra's book to keep him entertained, occupied and improve my relationship with him. He loved all the activities, and to this day still responds to verbal commands for tricks he hasn't done in ages. -- 101 Dog Tricks (the original version) was beautifully laid out and illustrated... very easy to read, and is sort of a "coffee table" book at my house (even almost 7 years later.) --The new book is similar but is for children (actually, more for adults to work with their children.). --In terms of teaching children to respect the family pet, understand its unique canine way of thinking and have a positive relationship, I'd say the book is a great idea. There are step-by-step photos that make the book easy to follow. The book claims many of the tricks can be taught to the dogs in barely 10 minutes -- and I can say, in my own experience, it is true (you basically model the behaviours and offer positive reinforcement.). I also like the way the book is organised with a "before you start/troubleshooting and tip" section alongside the clearly and concisely laid out directions. Tricks range from very simple and basic stuff which all dogs need to know anyway (sit, down, stay) to cute stuff (figure 8s, open the door, no mess paw printing), even including arts and crafts activities and simple show dog stuff. --Although my dogs are my kids, I'll just close off by staying that I absolutely endorse her treat centred books, and don't blame her for the fact that Rusty turned out to be a homicidal maniac. (I'm now training his son!)
Kyra Sundance always hits her Star Mark! And, "101 Dog Tricks, Kid's Edition" is no exception! Its fun to read for all ages; young children, older children and even for adults. It's jam packed with awesome tricks your dog can learn while enhancing the bond between your child and your dog.Each trick is broken down into easy to understand components and it also shows kids how to build simple agility and dog craft projects. It's a totally fun immersion program for your child as he or she has fun reading, building things, and training your dog. With Kyra's colorful illustrations and photos, you and your child will truly learn how to "Do More With Your Dog!"Michael Burkey, President, Michigan Dog Training in Plymouth, Michigan
Great book!! Love it!! It involves two of the greatest things in my life my kids and my dogs.i bought it as a gift for my 6 year old daughter, she loves playing with her dog and this book is full with great activities I can share with her and she also learns how to teach her own tricks to her dog since they are explained in a very easy way.
I can't stop smiling when I look through this book! The pics are fantastic, the activities look like so much fun and the crafts are too cool. I have found myself flipping through it quite a few times just to read the little cartoons that are scattered throughout, or look at the adorable pics of real kids and dogs. Even as an adult without kids of my own (at least not the human kind) I am finding that this is my favorite of all of Kyra's books (I have them all :) ). I know what the dog-loving kids on my Xmas list are getting from me this year, and I also know they're gonna love it!
I am a pet first aid instructor & the president of a pet safety organization and it is few and far between when I endorse anyone. 101 Dog Tricks Kids Edition is that exception. I have long admire Kyra's techniques she truly is one who just wants to do more with her dog! Including children in your pets training can be tricky, children often don't have the overview an adult does on the accomplishment of task. This book is not only a great outline for children it is a wonderful teaching tool for adults to include their kids in the education and play of your pet! I will without her knowledge be suggesting this book to everyone in our class. Kyra, I am grateful to see someone with such a good sense of dog making it in the print world!Debra Jo Chiapuzio
