Why take a tricks class?
If having fun with your dog isn’t reason enough, trick training can help your dog learn valuable skills that help them live a happier life that will also benefit you because their behavior may become a lot easier to live with!
Trick training can help your dog learn how to accomplish everyday necessities like teeth brushing, and even help with navigating situations they’re typically uncomfortable in. This kind of training can also help dogs develop patience, resilience, comfort around frustrations, and increased engagement and focus. Trick training is also mentally and physically enriching and exhausting in the healthiest way for them! Tire them out so you have time to meet your own needs, too~
Trick training also strengthens your special bond, which is the best kind of added bonus, we think.
