Learning new tricks is fun for dogs and people. You can have your tricks tested virtually. There are five trick dog titles you can earn:

AKC Novice Trick Dog (TKN) - your dog performs 10 tricks from the novice list. If your dog has a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title on record with the AKC you can do 5 novice tricks.
AKC Intermediate Trick Dog (TKI) - your dog must have the novice title and performs 10 tricks from the intermediate list.
AKC Advanced Trick Dog (TKA) - your dog must have the intermediate title and performs 10 tricks from the advanced list.
AKC Trick Dog Performer (TKP) - for this title handlers perform a short routine with at least 10 tricks with at least 3 tricks using props. See requirements here.
AKC Trick Dog Elite Performer (TKE) - this is the highest level of Trick Dog. For this title dogs must perform a routine that has a story/script. At least 5 props are used. See the requirements here.

- Tricks can be all on one video or one video per trick
- Videos can be uploaded to YouTube and the linked emailed
- Videos can be emailed (if emailing videos it is recommended to do one trick per video to keep the size of the videos small enough to email)
If I can not pass you on all tricks I will communicate with you what needs to be done for the specific trick(s) to get them to the level to pass
Once passing I will send you a completed tricks checklist for the title you are working on, which I will have signed off on as an evaluator
You can use the AKC's new Title Application Portal to submit to the AKC the following for your title:
- The title application form
- The tricks checklist that I have signed (see above)
