Correctly using the behavioral principles of shaping, chaining and reinforcement will be required of the successful trick dog trainer.

Canine Learning Academy can help you earn your Trick Dog Titles through Do More With Your Dog or the AKC. There are four standard trick title levels: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. 

Different tricks are considered different levels of difficulty and so will apply to certain titles. 

Tricks are simply behaviors, and learning these behaviors puts the dog in a learning-to-learn mode. Tricks are behaviors that can be done for entertainment such as “say your prayers,”  or as useful practical skills (e.g., “paws up” so the dog stands with front paws on a stool to raise his head for petting by a patient in a hospital bed).

Correctly using the behavioral principles of shaping, chaining and reinforcement will be required of the successful trick dog trainer.

Advanced and Expert level tricks class is on Saturday mornings and is included in your monthly payment. To Learn More
