DOG TALENT ASSOCIATION
PART SEVEN
TALENT SHOW TITLE
While working on the Novice dog title you’ll introduce props to your dog and start working on putting together sequences of tricks. Props are great and we totally love them because they make your performance more varied, engaging and impressive.
Working with different props and sequences also increases your dog’s confidence and teachers to be more in tune with your body language and listen better to your commands.
NOVICE TALENT SHOW
Part 1: Five sequences of 2 Novice level tricks in each of the sequences
Each of the sequences needs to include 2 Novice level tricks from any of the talent pathways (Thinker, Performer, Athlete, Helper). Instead of the suggested tricks, you can use your own tricks, but they need to be on the same level of complexity or higher. If in any doubt please contact us first.
You can combine tricks from different talent pathways in the same sequence.
Please do not use exactly the same trick more than once, but it is OK if it is performed in a different way. For example, you can use jumping through a hoop and jumping through the handler’s arms. Though both of the tricks involve jumping through a circle, they are different tricks as each requires some specific training.
The transition from one trick to another in the sequence should be fluid and without undue delay or hesitation.
Please only give food or another reward after the completion of the sequence.
Part 2: Perform 5 tricks with props
Choose any Novice level tricks from any of the talent pathways or your own.
If using your own tricks please make sure they are on the Novice level of difficulty or above. If in any doubt please contact us first.
