Trick Training |
With winter coming soon, keeping your dog exercised and having something to do together becomes a bit more challenging. You might be surprised to learn that exercising your dogs brain can be every bit as 'tiring' as physical exercise for the high energy dog. If you have an older dog, a dog not suited to agility or you yourself are not up to, or interested in the physical activity of agility, trick training is a blast! And trick training can be done indoors and without equipment. My dogs are always excited when they realize they are going to get a training session - and I'll admit that I do alot of our training while sitting on the couch. How cool is that?! Like agility, trick training is a lot of fun and really helps your dog learn to work with you. I love watching the dogs 'figure out' what I want. And, OK, impressing your family and friends with what a clever dog you have is fun too. Currently I am offering Trick Lessons as private sessions but am looking to do a small group session soon. Drop me a note if you are interested. Also in the works are trick lessons you can do at home via video. (The joys of technology!) While you lose the 'feedback/critique' that I am able to offer in a hands-on class, you do get the opportunity to do the lesson without leaving home and to go back and watch it again should you get stuck. |

Hi Linda, That really was a lot of fun. I am pumped. I think I might be more proficient at Clicker Tricks than agility- though I do enjoy the agility. You are so good at what you do and am so glad that Bonnie referred me to you. It has certainly enriched both mine and Miss M's life!! Deb & Maggie |
