AKC NOVICE TRICKS - BEGINNER
Teaching tricks is a great way to have fun with your dog and to enhance your relationship.
Tricks training allows you to be more relaxed and laugh while working with your dog. It provides great mental exercise for your dog and also helps enhance your dog’s learning ability. The more behaviors a dog learns, the easier it is for a dog to learn additional skills. Some tricks are also helpful for other activities – Canine Freestyle, Rally Obedience, Agility, etc. Others are helpful around the house (close the door, put away your toys away, etc.). In addition, learning tricks can help boost the confidence of shy dogs since the more a dog succeeds in learning new skills for which it is rewarded, the more assurance it gains. |
