$140 per dog for 3 Classes & Title Evaluation
AKC application fees (paid to AKC) not included in price
Our AKC Trick Dog class is for all fully vaccinated pups/dogs. This class focuses on the beginning level (Novice) and will allow you to choose 10 tricks from the AKC Novice Tricks Checklist (See below for tricks). We will spend three weeks (1 class per week) learning your tricks and on the last class, you can choose to be evaluated for your Novice Trick Title. You may also choose to defer your evaluation up to three months if you want to take more time for training.
Alternatively, if you have your CGC Title, you may use that as 5/10 tricks for your title and only have to pass off 5 additional tricks for your title.
Lastly, you may choose to take the class without the title if you aren’t interested in the AKC side and are more interested in the fun side of trick training. It is open to all.
For more information on the AKC program, visit their website.
