From your dog's perspective everything is a trick - in this fun class you'll build all your dog's good basic behaviours, and really build your own problem solving and training brain, so that you can teach your dog anything.
Build your relationship, improve your teamwork, and contributes to confidence and co-ordination for you and your dog.
It is designed to guide you through a variety of Tricks which can count towards a Do More with Your Dog (DMWYD) Trick Title, should you wish to apply.
The classes are 4 weeks long and will contain multiple chances to be assessed for Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and/or Excellent Trick Titles, or you might just want to come along for fun and to develop more party tricks to show off to your family and friends!

DMWYD – Novice/Intermediate/Advanced/Excellent Trick Titles can all be applied for online for US $25 (we will send you the link after the class) and you get a neat, spangly certificate and ribbon (if that floats your boat).
Your tricks need to be assessed by an approved DMWYD Trick Instructor to apply. You can do this in person during the 4 weeks or by sending in video to our FB group – there are more levels you can negotiate if you wish: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert and Champion. It gets harder as you move up the levels.
Advanced Tricks Class: Rather than learn a new trick every week, we will work towards one awesome but multi step trick
