AKC Trick DOG

Improve training techniques while having fun with your dog!

Broaden your training repertoire, laugh, have fun with your dog, and impress your friends! This mixed-level tricks class covers everything from basics (shake, spin, touch) to intermediate tricks (weave through your legs, bow, crawl, back up, limping), and even advanced routines with props (play soccer, get a tissue, put away toys, get in a suitcase, and more).

Achieve your AKC Trick Dog titles, ranging from Novice to Elite Performer level.

Prerequisites: Puppy 3, Manners 2 or email for Instructor Permission.

What to bring:

-Your dog! Preferably a little hungry, and having been given a potty break prior to class.

-flat buckle collar, martingale collar, head halter, front-attaching harness (ex. Freedom or Balance harnesses) or body harness. Please no prong collars or slip/choke collars.

-6 foot nylon or leather leash. Please no flexi/retractable leashes.

-treat pouch. A fanny pack, climber’s chalk bag, or hardware apron will work well too!

-treats! At least two cups (I know, it’s a lot!) of pea-sized delicious treats. Your treats need to outcompete the environment, so hot dogs, ham and cheese will all work well.

-A mat or platform for your dog to rest on between exercises.

-Optional: a chew or stuffed kong for your dog to chew during downtimes.
