TRICK TRAINING

Trick training for dogs involves teaching them a variety of fun and often entertaining behaviors that go beyond basic obedience. While Trick Training does include and require exercises like sit, stay, and come, it is more about engaging your dog's mind, building a strong bond, and adding a playful element to your training and relationship.

Trick training can include a wide range of behaviours and draws from a variety of canine activities like agility, hoopers, scentwork, assistance dog training, fitness training, parkouring, obedience and more. This covers simple tricks like "shake hands" or "roll over" as well as more complex activities such as weaving through poles, playing dead, fetching specific items by name, skateboarding, play cards or even play musical instruments - the sky is the limit. The key is to have fun, both you and your dog, using positive reinforcement techniques like treats, praise, and toys.
