West Los Angeles Obedience Training Club

Tricks Training

Dogs will work to learn at least 10 tricks from the AKC Novice Trick Dog list. Dogs who have their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) only need 5 tricks for the Novice title!

Every dog learns at their own pace. Your Dog is NOT guaranteed to earn the title, but will be given the opportunity to test for it during the last class of the session.

All classes are held at the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, on Motor Ave near Pico Blvd, in West Los Angeles.

A current waiver is required for all members and for participation in our classes.  Complete the WLAOTC Online Waiver.
