Tricks Class Open to Puppies and Dogs of all ages. Amaze your friends and
family with fun and useful tricks that you can teach your dog! 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. Extreme Tricks
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. We
will use props and costumes where appropriate. 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 help you chain
tricks together to form story lines and we will work on group behaviors. This
class is for play and experimentation, with the 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! |
