Sports Dog, New Tricks
Training To Sharpen Performance
Richard Curtis
Trick training is fun, and when a dog has learnt through positive reinforcement, he not only loves showcasing his skills, he also enjoys the training journey.
In Sports Dog, New Tricks, top international canine freestyle handler, Richard Curtis, focuses on tricks that have specific value to sports dogs and performance dogs. Obviously, this applies to Canine Freestyle and Heelwork To Music enthusiasts but, increasingly, handlers from other disciplines – most particularly Agility and Obedience – see trick training as integral to the development of competition dogs.
The work involved in learning, and performing, tricks develops physical capabilities and mental flexibility, encourages both motivation and control, builds focus and concentration and, best of all, it enhances the bond between dog and hander.
All the tricks are achievable with the help of more than 300 photographs and Richard’s detailed step-by-step instructions.
