Please note: Where there is an overlap in tricks between different titles, for your subsequent title(s) you
may use no more than 4 of the previously submitted tricks and they need to be recorded in a different
environment. You can re-use e the tricks from your Dog Talent Show title submissions, but they need to
be performed with some modifications in terms of props, location, etc.
Part 1: Ten of the above tricks
Part 2:
1. Sequence
Demonstrate that your dog can perform a sequence of any of the behaviours above by performing them

in a different way. Be creative. Try to select a trick in line with the Advanced Thinker title theme which required dog to concentrate
