Dog Training: Tricks and Games

Learn the core techniques you’ll need to teach your dog hundreds of tricks, plus dip a paw into agility and scent detection. This is the perfect class to find an outlet for your dog’s energy when it’s too cold to venture outside. During our final class, teams will have the opportunity to test for AKC Trick Dog titles.

Dogs do not need to have attended a previous class but should have been introduced to basic commands like sit, down, stay, and come before taking this class. This class is not appropriate for reactive dogs (dogs who bark, growl, or lunge at other dogs or people) or dogs who've shown a history of aggressive or predatory behaviors towards people or other dogs. Dogs must be at least 8 weeks old and be up to date on vaccines for parvo and rabies. (Puppies must have had at least 2 rounds of vaccines but are not required to have their rabies vaccine until 16 weeks of age.) Pitt Bulls and Staff Terriers cannot be accepted in this class due to city ordinances.
