AKC now has tricks titles you can work towards competing in levels Novice, Intermediate and Advance. Acquiring all 3 titles to earn your chance at The Dog Performer title where you would perform tricks from all 3 levels to tell a story. I'm sharing this with all you folks who are teaching your pups tricks. This can give you fun new ideas of what to teach.
Guinness is my "tricks" therapy dog who performs on visits.
