The Trick Dog Award Scheme’s aim is to provide fun, low pressure training goals and to be enjoyable for both dog and handler. It has been set up to encourage dog owners to take part in training their dog using kind, gentle methods. The Trick Dog Award Scheme assessment must be assessed by an Instructor approved to teach Amy Millward Dog Training Award Schemes.
Each trick demonstrated for assessment must be a ‘finished behaviour’, e.g. must be on cue (command) and performed without the use of lures (food in the hand) and excessive prompting.
To earn each level of award your dog must demonstrate a number of tricks of a specified difficulty laid out in the scheme. Levels must be completed and passed in order, before the next level can be achieved.
Please read the Ts & Cs before purchasing, certificates and rosettes will be posted withing 5 working days of the assessment being passed.
