Tricks Class & AKC Title Test

Next Class Starts November 5, 2026

$90.00

Class Overview:

This 4-week class focuses on tricks with foundation applications, such as sit, down, hand touches, paws up leading to more advanced tricks like item retrieval, leg weaves, lights on/off and more.

Tricks training is a fun way to build skills that carry over into everyday obedience and competition work.

  • Improves focus and can reduce stress, helping dogs train for—and perform in—competitive settings.

  • Builds a stronger bond through a fun, positive, cooperative working relationship between dog and handler.

  • Enhances handler training skills by practicing cues, shaping, luring, and targeting.

  • Provides mental enrichment and physical exercise, which can help prevent boredom and problem behaviors.

  • Boosts confidence as dogs succeed at learning new skills—especially in new or uncertain situations

NOTE: This is not a training class. Dogs should know basic obedience before taking this class.
