TrickMeister Titles
Become a TrickMeister - Achieve your Title Today!
TrickMeister Titles are totally unique as they don’t just concentrate on the finished 'tricks', they judge how the behavior is trained and executed.
TrickMeister tests the handler’s training “mechanics” and communication skills - the ability to clearly and appropriately cue, mark and reinforce behaviors - as well as the skills needed to teach behaviors using a range of different training methods. TrickMeisters are expected to pay particular attention to their learner’s demeanor.
TrickMeister Titles are only awarded when it is clear that the learner is a willing, enthusiastic partner in the training process! The titles aim to encourage pet guardians and trainers to develop new skills, improve their training techniques and increase their knowledge, while having the best time possible!
On passing the TrickMeister Title assessment, your companion will earn the right to use the following letters after his/her name: DN-TMA. DN-TMJ. DN-TMM.
