Details

Join us for a 4-week course of fun, engaging trick training suitable for dogs of all ages! Using the Do More With Your Dog approach, we’ll focus on enjoyable tricks that build confidence, strengthen your bond, and give your dog a mental workout.
Classes use positive, reward-based training with treats and props, keeping every dog comfortable, happy, and relaxed. There will be up to six dogs per class, so your dog will need to be comfortable around others in the field.
You can simply enjoy learning fun tricks, or work towards your official trick titles if you wish. Each session is packed with laughter, learning, and plenty of opportunities for your dog to shine!

Level: Advanced, Beginner & Intermediate
