Beginner Tricks Class
Who Should Attend:
- Anyone that wants to expand your dogs horizons
- Competition Dogs
- The Family Pet with a willingness to learn
Prerequisite:
- Dogs must have some basic obedience or beginner agility training
- Owners must have good control of dog
- All dogs must be dog and people friendly
Trick training is a fun way to interact with your dog without the self-imposed stress of training for competition or pet manners. Trick training also teaches problem solving, increases attention, and improves physical fitness.
Many of the tricks we’ll cover in this class also double as fun ways to teach body awareness, improve core strength, increase flexibility and sharpen focus. Those of us who compete in dog sports know the importance of keeping our dogs in top shape, but remembering to do exercises every day can be a chore. When exercise is built into trick training and performance, your dog will get a good workout even when you’re just showing off silly tricks to your family and neighbors.
About the Trainer: Sassie has a regular tricks column in Clean Run magazine and has been an animal actor trainer and handler for 30 years training her own pets as well as a wide variety of species. Sassie is also one of our agility instructors at Morris K9 Campus.

- Not Jump
- Walk on a loose leash
(all of these behaviors are taught in our pet training classes)
What is the AKC's Certification Program?
The CGC Test is a certification program that tests dogs in simulated everyday situations in a relaxed atmosphere. The purpose of the CGC Test is to ensure that our favorite companion, the dog, can be a respected member of the community because it is trained and conditioned to act mannerly in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs.
The program embraces both pure-bred and mixed-breed dogs. The American Kennel Club urges all dog owners to participate in this program, thereby assuring that our beloved dogs will always be welcomed and respected members of the community.
All dogs passing the CGC Test receive a gift from Morris K9 Campus and a form to request the certificate from the American Kennel Club.
