Description
To our dogs, EVERYTHING is a trick! Trick training provides enrichment and mental stimulation for dogs of all ages, as well as strengthens the bond they share with us. Tricks can also build the confidence of shy and anxious dogs.
Does your dog like to learn? Do they love to play fetch or tug? This is the class for them!
Take this class purely for fun, or to teach your dog tasks to help with your disability, to learn multiple ways to teach a behavior, to enhance what you've learned in manners class, or to obtain AKC Trick Titles! See the Novice Tricks Checklist and the Intermediate Tricks Checklist for some of the tricks our dogs will learn in this class. Many of the AKC tricks lay the foundation for service dog tasks to help with a disability.
