The AKC is starting a new set of titles for people who like to teach their dogs tricks. The titles are Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Performer. I trained my Australian Shepherd to the Trick Dog Champion title through Do More With Your Dogs. So now that the AKC is recognizing and grandfathering in DMWYD titles through 2017, I’ve decided to apply for Dudley’s AKC equivalent for his TDCH title – Performer.
Below is the video we put together when Dudley applied for his TDCH title. For those who prefer a little French music, the second one has music. The first video does not.

I am a Certified Trick Dog Instructor as well as a Canine Good Citizen instructor and evaluator, and love trick dog training. So if you’d like to start trick dog training with your dog toward trick dog titles from DMWYD, the AKC, or just for fun, please contact me for training your dog towards your trick dog goals.
