Part 1: Perform any 10 tricks or behaviours from the Foundation level list (see below)

Choose any 10 tricks or behaviours from the foundation list below and record short separate video clips of you and your dog performing each of them.

 

Part 2: Creativity

1. A sequence of any two tricks

Demonstrate that your dog can perform a sequence of 2 of the Foundation tricks above by doing them one after the other in a flowing sequence. For example, you can ask your dog to perform “sit” following by “stand” command. Or “sit” and then “give paw” etc. Any combination of the tricks is good.

Alternatively, you can ask your dog to perform a trick in the middle of doing another behaviour. For example, “sit” in the middle of “on-leash walking” etc. 

Record it as a short video clip.

 

2. One trick of your choice

Demonstrate with your dog any other trick of your choice. If it is on the Foundation trick list, try to perform it in a different environment, or in a different way. Use your creativity. You can demonstrate your dog’s favourite trick or any of the tricks listed for other titles.

Record it as a short video clip.

​

Please do not use lures or toys to entice your dog to perform and aim to give each command just once.
