Tricks are one of the fastest growing dog sports having become recognized as an official sport by the American Kennel Club in 2017. In 2017 a trick dog made it to the televised finals of America's Got Talent leaving TV viewers inspired to think about how to train their own dogs. Although there are a few trick training books in print most of these are written for experienced dog trainers or those living outside of cities willing/able to invest in a lot of large props/equipment. Tricks in the City brings the joy of dog tricks to a new audience in a fun relevant format.
