Make Your Dog a Star! In Tricks Class Open to Puppies and Dogs of all ages Amaze your
friends and family with fun and useful tricks! Teaching tricks increases
a dog’s flexibility, strengthens obedience behaviors, and adds to your bond
and relationship. You will learn a variety of different tricks such as
rollover, shake, bow, crawl and spin; as well as some other creative and
flashy ones, such as jumping through hoops (or your arms!). You will learn different training methods such as
targeting, luring, clicker training, eliciting and capturing. Each student will have the
opportunity at conclusion of the class to have a video of their dog’s
performance to keep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then…after Tricks Class… Also

Pre-Requisite: Tricks Class or equivalent background
With an eye on creating a performance group, this class is designed to focus on the more difficult and flashy behaviors. Group input and
your “fantasy” trick will be encouraged and supported. Training will include work with
clicker/marker, food, toys, and tons of laughter and applause. We will use props and costumes where
appropriate. We will chain
tricks together to form story lines and we will work on group behaviors. This class is for play and
experimentation, with goals of performance and fun in mind. If you and your dog have a background
in tricks and a desire to add more, this class is for you! |
