BEGINNER TRICKS

Picture
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 that it is rewarded for, the more assurance it gains.
Concepts of clicker training, luring, shaping, capturing and chaining behaviors will be covered. There will be a variety of easy and more difficult tricks to choose from over the course. So come on out for some fun with your dog!
 
You will also be on your way towards achieving a Trick Dog Title if you wish to pursue that. Title details will be discussed in class.

2 Paws up
