Learn 16 fun new dog tricks at your own pace in this FLEX class. Plus, some other bonus tricks/exercises will be included! After taking this class, learners will have the tools to teach all the tricks to their dog(s). They are not required to teach their dog ALL of these tricks. They can chose 1 of the trick to focus on each week if they wish. Format: Each week, a video will be posted with an in-depth explanation of the following: - Introduction and recap of the previous week - Training tip of the week - Question of the week - Warm up exercise - Step-by-step explanation of trick #1 - Step-by-step explanation of trick #2 These videos will consist of a live recording of myself explaining the points stated above with the help of a PowerPoint presentation, written instructions, and video demonstrations. Availability: I will be available every day to answer questions via comments and private messages. Sending me questions and comments is highly encouraged. Homework: The learner will be required to comment on the weekly post and answer the question of the week. Also, they should include a video of them practicing at least one of the exercises each week. I will watch these videos and give feedback. To ensure learner-to-learner interaction, the students will also be required to reply to at least one classmate's answer to the question of the week and/or their posted video. A big goal in this class is to have fun with our dogs! With this said, if learners also want to achieve maximum success with trick learning, they should practice with their dogs often (I recommend 5-7 short sessions per week). Schedule: Week 1: Heel, Give paw Week 2: “bed”, sleep/bang Week 3: Look, roll over Week 4: Over, sit pretty Week 5: Run between legs, under Week 6: Leash stop check in treat, hand touch Week 7: “pup pup!”, spins Week 8: Crawl, leave it *bonus videos will also be posted throughout the class **Trick success rate will depend on the learner's participation and amount of time practiced. It is also important to note that every dog learns at a different pace. I'm excited to meet new learners and share my love of dog training!
Learning Goals
In this class, students will learn 16 new dog tricks. We also focus on having fun with our dogs with positive reinforcement techniques and building a strong connection with our dogs through training.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
An adult should be around during dog training to supervise. This keeps the student and the dog safe.
Supply List
- A dog! Age doesn’t matter. A dog can always learn new things. - Yummy treats! I typically use high-value treats like cheese, hot dogs, freeze-dried meats, cooked chicken, etc. - Their favorite toy(s). - A leash. 6 feet is typical. - A dog bed (for the exercise "bed!") - A fun positive attitude! Dogs can sometimes be frustrating to work with. This makes success even more rewarding in the end!
