In Dog Park: New Tricks, business is booming! There are more dogs to walk - including rescues - more places in the park to explore, and new specialist trainers.

"New Tricks will be designed and printed to the same high quality that Dog Park players have come to expect from us at Birdwood Games," said Jack Hazell, designer and co-founder. "Holly Exley has done a superb job at illustrating the new multi-breed dogs and the team at Quillsilver Studio have added their usual sparkle with their sophisticated graphic design, product design, and development."
