Click-A-Trick
Class
How about learning something new to keep your dog, family and
neighbors entertained! This class helps you brush up on our basic
clicker skills (or learning them if you haven't previously been
introduced) and using them to teach the dogs some neat tricks.
Depending on the experience of the class ...We will be learning
some basic tricks like:
" High Five
" Wave
" Patti - cake
" Crawl
" Back-up
" Take a bow
" Spin
" Doggie soccer
More importantly learn how to shape or capture many other tricks
so you will have the skills to continue at home when the class
ends. Clicker training is really fun and makes your dog a PARTNER
in the training process rather than just a 'draftee' following
orders. When they get experienced with the clicker process, you
will find that your dog will often think up his own tricks! The
dogs love it and it and it helps them to learn to focus on you,
which in turn helps to strengthen your bond. And, don't tell the
dogs ... but obedience is really just a 'trick' in disguise, so
you can use your improved clicker skills to improve obedience
as well!
