Trick Class

This is a great class, not only because you and your dog will have fun, but there are several secondary beneficial results that come from teaching your dog to perform tricks and to play with you in an educational and structured setting.

*The more time you spend with your dog, the greater the bond becomes between the two of you while you’re doing fun things together.
* Performing tricks gives your dog self confidence because of all the praises she gets when she does something well.
* Training any cue always gives your dog a job to do, and he becomes more attentive to you and better behaved as a result.
* Trick training also teaches your clever dog “how to learn” and to think how to problem solve.
* Who knows, showing off how smart your trickster is, could become your million dollar gig!
* But the best reward, in a trick training class you’ll be having some good ol’ fashion fun with your dawg.
