  Teaching your dog to do silly dog tricks may seem like a waste of time, but in reality, training tricks increases your dog’s intelligence. It teaches them problem solving, improves their memory, and strengthens the dog-owner bond. So get out that clicker and some tasty treats and start getting silly!

    Maximillian The Trickster plays basketball and
    loves the challenge of seeing how many times
    the ball will go in the basket!

    He does get bored so I keep teaching him new
    tricks he know 33 now and counting! Also he
    is a counter he will do three tricks then stop and
    wait for the treat! If it’s a large treat then he
    might do up to eight or nine tricks in a row!
