Tricks are tons of fun and a great way to bond with your dog! This class includes luring, catching and shaping new behaviors to train fun activities like wave, back up, spin, and more. Dogs and trainers of all levels are encouraged to attend.

Canine Manners, Surviving Adolescence or an equivalent basic manners class is not required, but strongly recommended. Humans should be familiar with marker training, and dogs should be familiar with skills such as sit, down, and stay. Dogs must be under control when in the presence of other dogs and people.

All classes are with dogs.
