Optional Tricks - Novice

If you would prefer to not teach a certain trick from any of the "Novice" tricks, here is a list of tricks that we will either not be doing, or will be doing in the future (I'm not telling which is which.. neener neener). And these are tricks from the book that qualify for the Novice trick title.

1. 3-2-1 Let's Go!
2. Beginning Disc Dog
3. Doggy Push-Ups
4. Drop it
5. Fetch
6. Get Your Leash
7. Hockey Goalie
8. Hoop Jump
9. Jump for Joy
10. Jump over a bar
11. Jumper over my knee
12. Peekaboo!
13. Pull on a rope
14. Speak
15. Take a Bow
16. Tunnel
17. Walk the Dog

For the trick challenge, please only video tape an optional trick for one that you are replacing. Please email me if you have any questions, or need clarification on any of the tricks. Thank you!!!

PCTC Week Three

It's that time again! Those of you who were interested in the Novice Trick Title, you are already halfway there, with 8 outta 15 tricks done!

Week Three Tricks

1. Spin (either a left or right full circle)
2. Catch (a toy/treat in air)
3. Place (dog circles around to get into heel position on left side)
4. Kisses (on lips/face... or lips/face of another person)

HOMEWORK! I figure these tricks will be more about capturing behaviors, so these tricks won't be due for another week or two.

1. Speak
2. Kill It (shakes a toy)
3. Pull (c/t for tugging on toy)

Also, for those interested in a week or two or three you will need both a bar or stick (for dogs to jump over), and a hula hoop.

Have fun!
(And for those that have noticed I haven't uploaded my own pictures, my camera is in the shop and should be here by the end of the week!!!)
