Tricks are behaviors, and by imparting them to your pets, you place them in a state of learning. Tricks are activities that can be performed for recreation, such as praying, for physical activity, such as pole-weaving or spinning, or as valuable practical skills. Many Canine Good Citizen Testers include a few trick demonstrations in their seminars, as trick training gains in popularity.
“Trick dog training” as we know it began in the 1920s with the movie dog Rin Tin Tin. Pal, a Rough Collie, produced the film “Lassie” in 1943. Pal’s trainer, Rudd Weatherwax, published a trick dog training manual in the 1940s. Positive reinforcement and food rewards for appropriate behavior were utilized in the manual, which was an uncommon training method at the time. Captain Arthur Haggerty trained canines for movies in the 1960s and co-wrote “Dog Tricks” in 1977. At least ten trick dog training books and DVDs are currently available.
