Why Trick Training?

  • Improves communication between you and your dog

  • Strengthens the bond between you and your dog

  • Fosters engagement and focus from your dog

  • Builds confidence

  • Uses positive reinforcement training methods (no aversives, no punishment)

  • Provides physical and mental stimulation and challenges for your dog

  • Improves your ability to train and understand your dog

  • You and your dog can work together as a team and set a goal to earn trick titles (we can evaluate trick titles through Do More With Your Dog!)

  • It’s fun!

We offer both in-home and online trick training lessons and can help you earn Trick Dog titles for you and your dog.

Set A Goal - Earn Trick Titles With Your Dog!

To earn a title, the dog demonstrates a minimum number of tricks from a list for a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI). The tricks may be demonstrated on different days, in person, or via video. Each level of title needs to be earned before you can progress to the next level. Once earned, your dog’s name and title will be listed on the official title holders webpage; you will receive a certificate and ribbon; and you may add the corresponding suffix to your dog’s name.

  • Novice Trick Dog (NTD)

  • Intermediate Trick Dog (ITD)

  • Advanced Trick Dog (ATD)

  • Expert Trick Dog (ETD)

  • Trick Dog Champion (TDCH)
