Three fun filled weeks of working out the intricacies of trick training and how to use it to build the relationship between you and your dog and get your dog loving to listen.
This is a super relaxed course that focusses on the process and enjoyment of training and creating a language between you and your dog, great for mental stimulation and bonding time.
Tricks vary with each course and i’m always open to suggestion.
You must complete a Foundations Course with us to take part in the tricks course.
