Trick Dog Testing at the Terv Trial!

YOUR DOG COULD BE A TRICK DOG!

If your dog can do agility, chances are, it can earn a trick dog title. 

Patty Wiedeman, an AKC trick dog evaluator, will be at the Terv trial on Friday & Saturday from 1-4 p.m. (or beginning whenever the 4-8-12” class ends) to evaluate dogs from Novice through Advanced. The fee is $10 per dog, per test level, with $5 going to Tervuren Rescue. 

SIGN-UPS

Sign-up the day of the trial.

COST

Each test level will cost you $10. You’ll pay the fee at the time of the test. The AKC charges $20 to record a new title for Trick Dog. 

MULTIPLE TITLE TESTING

You can sign-up and test for any or all the Trick Dog levels at the same time. Example: You want to try both the Novice and Intermediate Trick Dog tests at the same time. Simply indicate that on the sign-up sheet. If your dog earns the Novice title, you can then test for the Intermediate level. If you don’t make through Novice, you won’t be eligible to test for Intermediate and you won’t be charged.

REQUIRED TRICKS

Every performance-trained dog – agility, obedience, etc. – should easily pass the Novice Trick Dog test. Most can also easily earn the Intermediate and even the Advanced level titles, too. At each level, you choose the tricks your dog will be tested on. You’ll find the trick checklists here. http://www.akc.org/trick-Dog/trick-dog-applications/
