UK Trick Dog Programme

Whether through sport, tricks, or companionship, Trick Dog Indahouse Titles encourages the integration of your dog into more areas of your life. Dogs have a way of making the activities we share with them more fun, and by giving them training, we allow them to participate in more areas of our life.

A trick dog title honors the dog, recognising him as an intelligent and willing partner. It means that your dog loved you enough to work with you and try to understand you, no matter how crazy your requests and how clumsy your attempts.
A trick dog title honors your commitment to your dog, showing that he was important enough in your life to receive your time, your energy and your undivided attention. You loved your dog enough to engage him, challenge him, bond with him and help him achieve a goal.
You are an owner who did more with your dog and that makes your dog the luckiest dog in the world.
