Morning Pawbly friends!! I wanted to try trick training with one of our GSDs- Rontu. Any advice on where to start?

Hiya! If you do well with book guidance, Kyra Sundance is the way to go. Her books are fantastic. If you do better with video or in-person instruction, I can absolutely recommend the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy online. They have levels of training, and bronze is the most affordable. I STRONGLY recommend them for all sorts of things. I’m actually going to sign Ripley and I up for Nosework through them…and right now is enrollment! Classes start April 1.
Thanks!! Rontu is a good boy, but he is 3 years old and really challenging the rules lately. I know this is my fault as I am too lenient with him sometimes… guilty as charged. My thinking is that his behaviors all around will get back to best if I work more closely with him and challenge him more. He is very food motivated, which is a new one for me- all of our other GSDs have just wanted love. I will definitely look into both options!! ☺️????
He’s a smart kid. Definitely work that brain! You know that’s one of my favorite things for dogs behaving badly. 🙂
Look into nosework. Minimal physical effort for you, TONS OF MENTAL WORK for him. Everybody wins. Plus the AKC now has nosework competitions, which are a lot cheaper than the other nosework orgs out there.
