Tricked Out Dogs
Description: Looking to expand your dog's education beyond performance, conformation or family dog skills?  Interested in furthering your education using luring, shaping and operant conditioning training techniques?  Then grab your leash and your best friend and join us for 8 evenings of fun!  Here you will be introduced to a number of ways to train the basic trick behaviors that lead to complex tricks.  Work on spinning left and right, jumping through a hoop, figure 8 between your legs, roll over, back up, take a bow, shut the door, and go to a specific place.  Whether you're a novice or a pro, this is a great way to increase communication skills, improve the bond between you and your dog and engage your best friend in a fresh, positive way.

​Prerequisite
: Family Manners or a basic pet or obedience training class.

New Trick Dog Program 

The Board reviewed a recommendation to develop an AKC Trick Dog titling program. If approved, There will be four levels of titles - Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Performer Trick Dogs. The performance of a dog attempting to earn its trick dog title will be certified by CGC evaluators. In addition, titles earned through the Do More with Your Dog (DMWYD) trick dog organization will be acknowledged by the AKC at the request of the owner. This will be discussed further at the February meeting. This program may be approved by the Board of Directors. If approved, the program would launch on May 1, 2017.

ACT Program

Info from the AKC website:


ACT Program(AGILITY COURSE TEST) The Agility Course Test (ACT) is an entry level agility event designed to introduce and welcome beginning dogs and their handlers to the AKC sport of agility.

There are two levels of ACT events – ACT1 and ACT2. ACT1 is designed for the beginning level dog to show beginning sequencing and performance skills. ACT2 requires an increased skill level shown by the additional obstacles to be performed.
​
In addition to showing their dog’s entry level skills, exhibitors will learn to fill out an AKC entry form, check-in at the ring, taking their dog in and out of ring, handling their dog while being judged and other information that will help them when they move on to AKC agility trials with their dog.  Dogs must be 15 months old to enter these events.  They do not need to be AKC registered at the time of entry.
