I hear this SO often.
Usually immediately after someone has watched one of my dogs doing something ridiculous. 😂
But here's the thing…
Your dog doesn't need to be a “clever” dog.
And you don't need to be an experienced trainer.
You need to know HOW to break a behaviour down into pieces your dog can understand.
That's the skill.
For example, a complicated-looking trick might actually be:
➡️ Look at the object.
➡️ Move towards it.
➡️ Touch it.
➡️ Put one paw on it.
➡️ Put two paws on it.
➡️ Change position.
➡️ Add duration.
➡️ Add a cue.
➡️ Put the pieces together.
Suddenly…
The “impossible” trick isn't so impossible.
And THAT is exactly the kind of training I love sharing inside **The Tricks Vault**.
You don't just get a massive list of tricks.
You get ideas and guidance to help you understand **how to train them.**
So whether you've got a seasoned trick dog or one who currently thinks “sit” is an optional suggestion…
there's something you can work on. 😂❤️
If you'd like to see what's inside, **send me a message saying VAULT** and I'll point you in the right direction.
