What type of dogs are good at trick activities? Many customers ask me this question and I normally will respond by saying it is not true, you can teach an old dog new tricks. So most of the dogs you see doing agility or different types of circus tricks, they may be Australian Shepherds, Border Collies or different types of Terrier dogs such as a Jack Russell. But truly in my experience of training over five hundred dogs in the greater Arizona Valley, I've seen a majority of pure bred dogs to mix breeds all exhibiting the ability to do difficult tricks. Throughout my series you've heard me talk about dedication, commitment, routine and repetition. The more you can work with your dog in the early stages of using food as bait, once the dog learns the trick, truly you're not going to need any food. You're just going to need vocal praise and physical affection to let the dog know that they did a good job.
