The AKC “Trick Dog” is a title event sponsored by AKC. Each dog will perform 10 tricks of their choice to earn a Novice Title. Once the dog has earned a Novice Title, they may advance to Intermediate, Advanced, and Trick Dog Performer. Dogs should know basic obedience commands**
This class is fun and mentally stimulating that both you and your pup will enjoy. In this class, your dog will learn a trick a week or more. By the end of this course your dog could be the show stopper at your next get together!
Paperwork can be submitted to AKC with a fee for a Trick Dog Title.
