Do you need more to do with your dog?  Do you have a high-energy dog that needs mental stimulation? Earning a trick certificate may be what your dog needs to stay active.

 

There are at least 101 ways for you to do more with your dog that will challenge both of you and strengthen your connection. No matter what behavioral or physical obstacles your dog may face, consider working together toward a trick title for exercise, mental stimulation, and most of all, fun.

​

Cost – The testing fee is $25.00 and there is an additional fee when you send your paperwork into AKC ($10 - $20 range)
