Course Details
Did you know that you can now title your dog in Tricks?! Tricks aren’t just for fun anymore and this isn’t just another tricks class! Tricks have so many purposes including teaching your dog to enjoy training, sharpening your skills as a trainer and improving your working relationship with your dog. This class will help guide you through teaching all of the tricks needed to achieve your Trick Dog Novice, Trick Dog Intermediate and Trick Dog Advanced titles.
The tricks in this class are broken into six different categories. We’ll start by focusing on the novice-level tricks for each category and work on building those into the tricks needed for the intermediate and advanced levels.
There is an option for Gold students to earn AKC Trick Dog Titles at the end of this course (additional fee paid to the AKC required).
Your dog does not need any prior training knowledge for this class, but it is very helpful that your dog is food-motivated.
