Working with your dog on tricks is fun, a great mental exercise, and an efficient way to use up all that extra energy, helping you form a strong and mutually enjoyable working relationship with your dog.
In this 6-week class, your instructor will introduce new tricks each week. Each 45 minute class is thoughtfully designed to be a perfect fit for dogs of all natures and personalities. Whether your pup is soft and shy, agile and active, boisterous and confident, or eagerly willing to learn, our training program accommodates every unique temperament. We use positive reinforcement techniques that create a safe and encouraging environment, ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and engaged throughout the learning process. No matter your dog’s disposition, they’ll thrive in our tricks class, building confidence, sharpening skills, and bonding with you in a fun and rewarding way!
ALL levels are welcome to join this class, If your team is ready, the instructor will give you the option to work on more advanced tricks! Class will be dynamic and everyone will have a great time! Most tricks will be taught as a progression, so students can work at their own pace, building on what the dog already knows. If your dog already has a basic behavior (for example “shake”), we will add variety (shake with either paw, wave, or high five), distance and duration.
