PINNED POST: Lets Get Started! NEWEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS LISTED HERE ---------------------------------------------- This SPARK TEAM runs November 24th – December 31st, 2014. My goal is to teach 12 new tricks to earn your dogs official Intermediate Trick Dog Title. 1. PRINT THE INTERMEDIATE TRICK CHECKLIST domorewithyourdog/downloads/ITDapp.pdf 2. WATCH INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS Every few days Coach Boxer Girl Kelli-ann will post trick videos (links are below). She will teach you more tricks than you need to reach your goal, so its OK to skip a few. Keep working on these tricks for the duration of the 4-week class. 3. SHOW OFF YOUR TRICKS Demonstrate your tricks for any witness and have them sign your checklist. If youd like coach Boxer Girl Kelli-ann to be your witness upload a video to this group. 4. TEACH 12 TRICKS – EARN YOUR INTERMEDIATE TRICK DOG TITLE • Once youve demonstrated 12 tricks for any witness submit your checklist here: shop.domorewithyourdog • Your names will be added to the official registry: domorewithyourdog/pages/titleholders.html • You will receive a gold certificate in the mail. • Your dogs name will be officially designated with the ITD suffix. • Bask in your awesomeness... you and your dog rock! • Ready for your Advanced Title?

The leash shall not be used to pull the dog into the desired behavior. TREATS: Treats (and/or toys) may be used as a reward after the trick is finished. Treats may be used as a lure, but only in the following amounts: no more than 50% of the tricks for the Novice Title & 25% for Intermediate Title can employ a lure. PHYSICAL MANIPULATION: Handler may not physically manipulate the dog to get him to do a trick. Petting the dog at any time is fine. Lightly tapping the dog to regain his attention is fine. SERVICE/ DISABLED / VERY SENIOR Dogs: These dogs and their handlers may need to alter the trick to work within their unique needs. This is fine. EXTRA CREDIT TRICK: One additional trick of comparable difficulty may be used to count as a Novice or Intermediate trick. ** TRICKS may be re-used for next Title** ---------------------------------------------- FACEBOOK SETTINGS (so you dont miss a post): ---------------------------------------------- Facebook on your DESKTOP computer: 1.
