Can you teach an old dog new tricks?  Yes, you can! Children will learn how to instruct their dog to various tricks, one trick per week.  We will teach our dogs dog to different tricks such as shake, bow, spin and ring a bell. Teacher will model the trick using a demonstration dog. Teacher will show videos of dogs doing tricks and recommend websites to help train their dogs. Students will take turns practicing the trick with their dog.  Learners should be able to control their dogs or puppies. Dogs should be on a leash and be able to sit.
