Outstanding Performances from the 2020 AKC Trick Dog National Competition
In addition to the competition winners listed above, here are some outstanding performances from 2020 (in random order). The performances ranged from a pre-COVID performance in an auditorium to creative performances that were done in small apartments or living rooms as dogs and their owners sheltered in place during COVID-19.
