About Do More With Your Dog!®
It's more than a training program… it's a lifestyle.

Do More With Your Dog!® is more than a training program… it’s a lifestyle. It is a philosophy which encourages the integration of your dog into your life in a variety of ways—through sport, training, or accompanying you to more places. Dogs have a way of making the activities we share with them more fun, and by giving them training, we allow them to participate in more areas of our life.

Founded by Kyra Sundance

Founded in 2005 by Kyra Sundance, Do More With Your Dog!® was originally a dog training curriculum program which focused on teaching tricks in a step-by-step method utilizing positive reinforcement techniques. This curriculum was so popular amongst trainers, that Kyra wrote a book based on these techniques. 101 Dog Tricks became an international bestseller, and has been translated into 15 languages. Kyra followed with many more books and DVDs which expanded upon the original Do More With Your Dog!® curriculum.

With the fast growing interest in dog tricks and positive training techniques, Kyra recognized the need to have a certification program which vetted instructors. Do More With Your Dog!® now has several arms:

• Trick Dog titling program
• Trick Dog Instructor certification and referral program
• Seminar series

Do More With Your Dog!® is the official sanctioning and organizing body for the sport of Dog Tricks.

Do More With Your Dog!® established guidelines for instructor certification, to ensure that standards of excellence are met when teaching the sport to handler/dog teams. Certified Trick Dog Instructors may use the acronym CTDI after their name to indicate they have achieved the requirements. A current listing of Certified Trick Dog Instructors is available here.
