Atlas Tails Dog Training

13/08/2023

Hi all 👋

I’m still here and training pups. I just don’t really find myself using Facebook as often. I also don’t have my phone out during class much, so I haven’t been capturing new pictures and videos.

Here are some pictures from older classes I never got around to posting. Enjoy 🙂

✨Here is the new Specialty Trick title: Beat the Clock. Complete 12 tricks in either 24, 48 or 60 seconds. Because some dogs are naturally faster than others, you have the option of three different time limits: 24 seconds, 48 seconds, or 60 seconds. Pick the one that best suits your dog ✨

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

I’ve found the key to this title is planning your tricks ahead of time so you don’t have to think of them on the fly. One suggestion I have is to make a list on a dry erase board or a piece of paper in a place you can see it so you can see the tricks as you’re recording your video.

▪️If you’re going to submit this title via video, all tricks must be completed in one unedited video so the time can be verified.

▪️Whether you chose to do the 12 tricks in 24, 48, or 60 seconds, everyone will receive the same title and certificate (although the certificate will note which time period you did). If you get your certificate with 60 seconds, and later decide you can do it in 48 seconds, Do More with your Dog will upgrade your title for free.

That is a wrap on the Alphabet challenge. If you have not finished, feel free to continue posting your videos in the comments. Be sure to check the page tomorrow to see what the new Specialty trick title is!
