You can find information on trick training here.
This will be a little different from the "standard" show in that you can enter as many petz as you like - they will be judged according to these standards - and rather than competing against one another, each pet will be judged individually. They will receive 0-5 points depending on the quality of each of their individual pictures!
This thread will be edited every week with new challenges to meet. Every "complete" pass should earn your dog (or cat!) 5 points but will be difficult to achieve. To earn the TD title added to your dog/cat's name will only take two COMPLETE passes. TPro will take 6, etc, etc.
If your pet has already completed the challenge, then they can't be entered again until the next challenge. However, if a new challenge comes up which contains a trick they already know, they may be entered, so long as new pictures are taken with each entry.
If that was tl;dr, here's a summary:

If that was tl;dr, here's a summary:
[li] 5 pictures, two for training, two for tricks, one for rewarding.
[/li][li] No editing. Pictures must be straight from game. Backgrounds optional. No clothes preferred, though a bow/collar is permitted.
[/li][li] Petz may only complete the same challenge once. Tricks may be re-used for new challenges but only with new pictures.
[/li][li] Petz will receive points from 0-5 depending on the quality of each picture.
[/li][li] Each contest will require two "training pictures" (of teaching the pet the trick with the treats) and two trick pictures and one reward picture.
[/li][li] Training pictures must show petz with alert (not sad/angry) eyes, looking towards the treat or directly at the camera, eager to learn. You may also include failed attempts at the trick - doing other tricks, or goofing off, so long as it shows a willingness to learn and your control of the dog.
[/li][li] Trick picture standards are shown here.
[/li][li] The reward picture should show you happily playing with your dog/cat after successfully completing the trick.

Any age petz are welcome, as are all breeds and species!
