TDW = Trick Dog Warriors
**
10 behaviours needed – more than 1 dog challenge!
**
Pick any 10 tricks from the UD, TDN, TDG or UTD titles and you must use more than 1 dog for your video!
Ideal for households with several dogs, or where some dogs can / can’t achieve a particular trick so it’s a group effort
There are 2 levels of pass…if you gain an EPIC PASS then you have been recognised for being super slick with the dogs all being in sync, flawless execution, or extra creativity / difficulty, though note it may work against you if your dog looks stressed.
**
It is your responsibility to make sure that the behaviours and tricks you are teaching are fun for you AND the dog!
We will be looking at the difficulty & execution of your tricks however please bear in mind that not all tricks are suitable for all dogs!
CRITERIA FOR ALL LEVELS!
- Each behaviour must be demonstrated three times.
- The behaviour should be on cue – not lured. Your cue may be visual (hand signal or object) or verbal.
- A video demonstrating the final behaviour, on cue, must be uploaded to YouTube for assessment (no more than 7 mins & with the trick titles inserted).
- All behaviours for assessment should be edited into one video with handler visible. The behaviours do not have to be performed on the same day.
- Behaviours must be consistent in quality.
- A minimum 3 second pause is required for any behaviour with a pause in the trick from TDN upwards: example (but not limited to) Paws Up * exception 5 Sec Hold
- Behaviours may be re-cued if necessary, but errors must be dealt with to support your learner’s needs.
- Any behaviour that is not adequately demonstrated may need to be repeated. This is at the discretion of the assessor.
