TADAAA!

tricky puppy

in-studio course for ages 5 months+

Is your dog bored? Would your dog like a job as a circus dog? Are you looking to set aside some time throughout the week to fine tune your training skills and have fun with your dog? Would your dog benefit from increased body awareness (hint: they all would)? This class can help with all of these!

Teaching your puppy tricks will give you a great opportunity to bond through training, and provide tons of healthy mental exercise and enrichment. Low impact exercise is critical to the well-being of a young puppy or adolescent. Teaching your dog movement-based tricks will also increase their body awareness and ergonomics, which can help prevent injury. Getting more practice training unique skills will also help you hone your technical skills and better your communication with your puppy!

In this class we will teach our dogs to weave through your legs, spin right/left, target their front feet to various objects, roll over, crawl, and more!
