I’ve always loved dogs.
But, I did learn that there is one big perk to being a guy and having a dog.
Especially walking through a park.
The perk?
Women come up and talk to you.
I’ve met so many friends and my wife because of dogs.
So in my younger days, I also found out that if your dog did a few tricks everyone was amazed.
I liked that.
So I taught my sheltie, Sam, a trick that amazed everyone. The trick was getting a tissue from a box when I sneezed. I loved watching people’s faces when I did this trick.
Anyway, teaching dog tricks is a great activity to do with your dog.
The best part is that tricks are easy to teach, you bond with your dog, you get better as a trainer and everyone loves seeing dogs do tricks.
And that is why I included The Fun Dog Tricks Program with The Dog Training Inner Circle. You get step by step videos showing you how to do basic, intermediate and advanced tricks.
You can start teaching your dog tricks today.
Here’s where to go NEXT:

I think I may be losing it.
Woke up this morning and the first thing I heard:
“Snow storm rolling in this Thursday night into Friday.”
Ugh.
I know Spring is not that far off and the best time to be out with your dog is Spring. Walking, hiking, obedience, and teaching dog tricks are some of the funnest things to do when it’s nice outside.
I am NOT going to let a little snow get me down and told Rach that I am going to do something off the wall, something to get everyone excited to work with their dogs. When I told her she said I was nuts but I don’t care, I am doing it anyway.
What crazy thing an I doing?
Here it is:
Anyone that signs up for The Dog Training Inner Circle will get the Fun Dog Tricks course absolutely FREE!
That’s a $37.00 gift from your buddy, The Amazing Dog Training Man.
Let’s focus on having some fun regardless of the weather.
So truck on over to The Dog Training Inner Circle and get your Fun Dog Tricks course as soon as you

This won’t last long. Who knows, the storm may pass and I may come to my senses.
All the best,
Eric

Does your dog do any tricks?
Tricks are a lot of fun to teach, and it is a great way to bond with your dog. Not too long ago, I met up with my friend and expert dog trick trainer, Jim Helems.
Jim is a great dog trainer and the best when it comes to teaching dog tricks. As we were talking, Jim brought out some of his dogs and started doing some tricks.
The tricks he did with his dogs were amazing!
Within a few minutes I told Jim that he had to share his tricks and how to teach them with others.
He laughed and then agreed. The result…
In this course, Jim breaks down each trick for you to teach your dog. If you start right now, your friends and family will be amazed when they come to visit this Christmas Season.
It is being offered at a special reduced price for the next five days:

“Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won’t
buy the wag of his tail.”
– Henry Wheeler Shaw
Jenna was a sweet, shy border collie mix that had
recently been adopted by a very nice family.
They had called me in because Jenna was very shy
and nervous around kids and stangers. They were
not sure if they were going to keep her because
she would not allow the children to come too close.
She was in no way aggressive, just very nervous
and would try to run away.
I went to their house on a Saturday afternoon to
meet Jenna.
We did not know her background, but you would guess
that she did not have the best upbringing. The shelter
had found her roaming the streets of Newport, RI and
had no idea who the owner was.
I spent a few minutes with Jenna and then turned to
the owners and asked for some treats. The father of
the house was excited to get started on obedience
training and asked what command we were going to
start with first.
When I informed him that we were going to teach his
new family member some tricks I could see the slight
look of disbelief on his face.
“Tricks?” he asked.
I asked him to trust me and that it would all make sense
in a little while.
We then spent an hour teaching Jenna to give paw, wave,
sit pretty and roll over.
I asked them to practice and informed them that I would
be back next week. I also asked them to have their kids
their with some friends. With a puzzeld look on their
faces, they agreed.
The following week they had done their homework and the
kids were there.
I asked all of them to sit around and watch mom and dad
do a training session with me. Every time Jenna did any
trick all the kids would start to clap and cheer for
Jenna.
Within minutes they wanted to help out.
I asked the owners to do tricks everytime someone comes
over the house. I added that doing tricks is fun, and
strangers to Jenna will have the same response to her
that the kids had.
Within a few weeks Jenna was a differnt dog. They kept
teaching her more and more tricks and her confidence
contiuned to improve.
The last time I saw her, she was a much more confident,
stable dog.
Teaching your dog tricks is one of the best ways to build
confidence and bond with your dog. Trick training is much
more positive than obedience training and everyone loves
to watch your dog do a trick.
Here is a video that I did on teaching your dog to do the
roll over trick.
Enjoy:
All the best,
Eric
