Talent Tracks explained
Every dog has a different talent, it's own personality and likes.
One dog might enjoy food puzzles, sniffing games and other stuff requiring lots of thinking and figuring it out. Another dog might not even have the patience for all the puzzles and stuff and would rather be learning jumping and tricks with hoops and ball.
​
People also want to achieve different things with their dogs.
For example, one person wants to be able to do more active things together, such as sports, running, football, flyball etc. While the other owner would rather prefer if their dog could learn some useful tricks to be able to help them and their family in some meaningful way.
​
We designed Talent tracks for you and your dog - so you can focus on the areas you both enjoy most.
Each Talent track is also developed with the training perspective in mind. So, the Advanced level skills are logically and progressively built on the skills acquired at the Novice level etc.
We have 5 Talent tracks for you to choose from:
