This is a mixed-level tricks class that includes the basics (shake, spin, touch), intermediate tricks (weave through your legs, bow, crawl, back up, limping), and fancier trick routines with props (play soccer, get a tissue, put away your toys, get in a suitcase, etc).

What to bring:
-Your dog! Preferably a little hungry, and having been given a potty break prior to class.
-flat buckle collar, martingale collar, head halter, front-attaching harness (ex. Freedom or Balance harnesses) or body harness. Please no prong collars or slip/choke collars.
-6 foot nylon or leather leash. Please no flexi/retractable leashes.
-treat pouch. A fanny pack, climber’s chalk bag, or hardware apron will work well too!
-treats! At least two cups (I know, it’s a lot!) of pea-sized delicious treats. Your treats need to outcompete the environment, so hot dogs, ham and cheese will all work well.
