READY, SET….let’s learn some new tricks in the new 4 weeks Tricks class for beginners

Let’s start out with simple tricks like shake hands, high 5, spin in a circle, get in a box and crawl. Then let’s add roll over, ring a bell, sit pretty, touch, turn on a lamp or balance on the wobble board plus more. The choices of tricks are endless. Pick your own trick and we’ll work on it in class together. On the 4th week your dog will take the Novice trick dog test for their Akc trick title.

Benefits of trick training include building a lifetime bond with your dog, increase their confidence, provide both physical and mental exercise that the whole family can join in teaching tricks to your dog. Kids and teenagers love to show off their super smart buddy to their friends with their latest trick.

The 4 week class starts Tuesday July 25 at 1:15 p.m. with instructor Diane Clyne, Akc trick evaluator
