This AKC Intermediate tricks class will prepare students to complete their TKI title.

TKI requires ten tricks to be performed for the evaluator a minimum of one successful repetition. TKI does NOT allow using food or toys to lure the dog into position unless otherwise stated in the AKC definition for the trick, for the test only. Food will be used in the learning process however! Tricks used for this title are not allowed to be repeated in subsequent titles, however more advanced forms of these tricks may be performed for future tiles (ie hold vs hold while walking).

This class runs for 6 weeks. Graduation and evaluation will be 2/07.

Bring plenty of motivators for your dog! Treats, toys that don't squeak, enthusiasm, etc. We will be building these skills using positive reinforcement techniques including luring, shaping, and capturing. Dogs may only attend wearing a comfortable flat or martingale collar or *secure* comfortable harness and no longer than 6 foot leash. No prong, slip, choke, or e-collars are permitted in this class.
