Have even more fun with your happy trickster

Dogs love to learn. And they love to do things that earn rewards. So why not make more of your dog’s innate ability to do clever, unexpected things by teaching them tricks?

Trick training is great for strengthening the bonds between you and your dog, for impressing your friends, and for entertaining your dog on a dull day. And anyone can do it, including your children, because you don’t need any specialist skills or equipment.

More than anything, trick training makes you and your dog feel good. It’s all about the shared joy of working together towards a common goal. When the pair of you get it right, the joy is fantastic. You feel like a superstar trainer and your dog picks up on that rush of happiness.

Now imagine how proud you’ll be when your dog repeats that trick in front of your friends. It’s your dog at maximum cuteness. What could be better?

The first step is a chat about your dog and the type of tricks you’d love to teach them.
