Where Training Meets Results
Hi, I'm Chrissy
I am thrilled that you want to pursue a strong bond with your dog through your trick training goals. Let's build those skills to achieve your ultimate goals with your dog.
Preparing your dog to perform tricks in front of an audience or even on set can be daunting. But, if you have developed strong foundations to your tricks then taking that next step will smooth and successful.
There are many ways to teach tricks, but I have dedicated my life to learning and developing ways to teach my dogs challenging behaviors that will prove successful in new environments with added challenges.
The skills I have developed over the years of training, performing and working on set have not come without hard work. In this course, you will see how I break down the steps to teaching tricks to my dogs so you can have the quickest path to success.
Most of all, I want this to be enriching and fun for you and your dog - to develop a deeper bond and trust than before so that you can find limitless success in all adventures you do together.
Laying the Brickwork
Foundation Comes First
The tricks taught within this course vary in difficulty. Some tricks in this course are easier than others. But it is more often that not, those less difficult tricks that set the foundation for the more challenging behaviors. In this course, I help guide you along the path to developing a strong foundation in a productive and organized schedule so that we can achieve your trick training goals.
THIS COURSE IS INTERACTIVE -
You have all the support you need to succeed. Here's how it works:
When you enroll in this course, you will receive "The Trainer's Toolbox" to prep you for your interactive course. This is a set of videos covering important foundations to ensure you have a solid start for this course.
You will begin the course on the first week of the start date. You will receive instruction on how to join Chrissy's private Facebook group that is dedicated to this course. Each week, for four weeks, you will receive a new lesson (or lessons if multiple tricks). For two additional weeks after that (Week 5 & 6), Chrissy will continue to provide interactive instruction and feedback to help you problem solve and achieve success. The last two bonus weeks (weeks 7 & 8), will allow you to revisit the group, watch past videos, and review your feedback before the group closes.
