101 Dog Tricks - Novice

This 5-week course is open to handler/dog teams who have successfully completed at least one group class or private training/behavior modification session and/or have been pre-approved by the instructor. The class size is limited to 5 dogs. Each session lasts about one hour.

The course is based on the book "101 Dog Tricks" by Kyra Sundance. We will cover most "Novice" and some "Intermediate" exercises in her program. Special student requests may be accommodated depending on difficulty and time requirement.

Kyra believes that "the teaching of tricks establishes a pattern of learning, teaches skills and focus, is a positive method of training, is fun for the handler and dog and most of all promotes a strong and lasting bond between canine and human."

In our experience, trick training also builds confidence in a shy or insecure dog, improves training and observational skills in the human handlers, enforces pet manners and also increases public acceptance of "bad rap dogs" (who can resist a cute Pitbull rolling over on its belly, giving a kiss or doing a "high-five").
