Tricks & Manners Training
We call all behaviours tricks!  Sit, stay, spin, twist, peekaboo, come, leave it, lie down, roll over, wipe your feet, shake hands, heel, walk on a loose leash, speak, shush, sit pretty, touch...  so don't be surprised when you learn how to teach your canine companion an unbelievable sit, stay, down, come and much more!
Choose Between Private In-Home Training.  Estepona to Marbella and/or Our Group Class in Estepona.

Our Fun Trick Class is a six-class course and is limited to 8 dogs—so don’t delay, call today! 
We also offer classes in the privacy of your own home on a one to one basis.

Have a super-talented dog who yearns to learn?  Is he/she destined to be a star?
There are lots of reasons for doing tricks.  First, you can perform and practise your tricks anywhere, anytime.  Dogs love doing tricks and so will you!  During the winter when it's too cold or wet for your dog to get out, or during the summer when the temperatures are uncomfortably high, you can provide mental simulation with minimal space.  You can always come up with a new game or trick, making training fun and both mentally and physically tiring for your dog.  A knock on effect of trick training?  It not only makes you a better trainer, it teaches your dog skills that they can use every day!  Lost your keys?  Ask your dog to find them!  No free hand to close the door?  No problem, your dog can do it for you - Our specialty is trick training!
