Tricks & Games is a fun class for everyone. Learn some basic tricks, start to work with a clicker, have fun with your best dog! Perhaps get a trick title!
Pattern Games are relaxing, predictable, instill confidence in the team, enhance communication, and are empowering. We developed this class for dogs with big feelings to give owners strategies to increase connection, and help their best dogs manage difficult situations and environments. This is a fun class and not for truly out of control dogs as we are not dog behaviorists!

Tricks II is a class for teams who are ready to do Tricks at the intermediate or advanced level.
