AKC Trick Dog Test Center - Saturday, Sept 28th

The test centers will run in the following order - CGC, CGCA, then Tricks. You will be contacted with your specific appointment time.

From the 1920’s and 1940’s when trick dogs such as Rin Tin Tin and Lassie won peoples’ hearts, trick dog training has become one of the most exciting new areas in dog training today.

Dogs must have an AKC, PAL, or AKC Canine Partners number to earn a title.
