Class Description

Take a break from the sits and downs and join a tricks class!  Learning to work with your dog in new and different ways can elevate your existing training. It can help less confident dogs by working with objects that move and/or make noise with positive reinforcement methods.

Trick training can even help keep them physically and mentally fit.  Just like us, you might go to the gym to keep up with your physique and then work some sudoku puzzles to key your mind sharp. Tricks can do this all-in-one exercise for our dogs. 

Instructor:  Alicia Harantschuk & Leah Pacitto
