Tricks Class
Tricks class is a great option to keep you and your dog mentally fit. Bring your lightly used obedience commands and take them to a new level! Tricks are a great option for potential therapy dogs.
We will use positive motivational methods such as a clicker, marker word, and/or treats to shape, capture or lure tricks and communicate with the dog.
American Kennel Club (AKC) recently introduced a new AKC Trick Dog titling series. Many of the AKC Trick Dog Novice and Intermediate trick skills will be introduced.
Tricks Beginning Class
This is a 45-minute class held once a week for three weeks. Dogs of all ages are welcome, though we recommend that puppies be at least 4 months old when starting class.
This class will introduce 15 basic tricks that can be used to earn the Novice tricks title. No prior experience is necessary!
Note: Testing for the AKC Novice Tricks title is not included in this 3 week class. However, BKC offers tricks testing when they hold CGC evaluations. Sign up details will be provided by the instructor at the end of the class.
