Tricks for Commercials and Titles
Learn to train foundation behaviors that are the building blocks for nearly every trick. Learn different training techniques and how to figure out which techniques to use for which behaviors. Expand on the tricks your dog already knows. Train new tricks that are different than any trick your dog already knows. Come with specific behaviors in mind that you want to train your dog. Or train your dog the most requested behaviors for filmwork that will make your dog more marketable for commercials and print ad. Or learn the tricks that will earn your dog titles in AKC’s new Trick program.

Dogs are not required to take a class with me to work on a commercial or photo shoot, but any dog I have seen in class will not have to “audition” for me to prove it can work around distraction.
