Trick Foundations is a four-week introduction to the world of trick training.  This course is designed to help dogs build confidence, body awareness, focus, and problem-solving skills while strengthening teamwork with their owners. Along with learning fun tricks, your dog will also develop useful life skills that support training, confidence, and everyday communication. The class will be held on Wednesdays at 6PM and begins on July 8th.

Throughout the course, teams will focus on several key areas:

Building teamwork and partnership between you and your dog
Developing confidence, focus, and willingness to try new things
Teaching foundation trick skills using clear, reward-based training
Improving body awareness, coordination, and confidence with movement
Helping your dog learn how to offer behaviors and problem-solve
Practicing handler timing, reinforcement, and cueing skills
Teaching your dog to shift focus between you, the environment, and the task
Building fluency so tricks can be performed with confidence

American Kennel Club and Do More With Your Dog Trick evaluations are included with your registration. Testing will be held on August 5th.
