“Playing a game together actually builds up bonds and trust and cooperation. We actually build stronger social relationships as a result.”
Jane McGonigal
Doggie Circus School: Where Obedience Meets Play
Doggie Circus School isn’t your average dog training class. It’s a fun, skill-building experience where you and your dog grow together as a team—through connection, play, structure, and clear communication.
Your dog will learn how to focus around distractions, control their impulses, and perform clever, confidence-boosting tricks that translate into everyday life skills. From sits and spins to leash manners while jumping through hoops, each ‘circus act’ helps your dog become more responsive, resilient, and relaxed in the world around them.
You will gain the tools to train effectively, understand what your dog is telling you, and take pride in your progress together. You’ll learn how to guide your dog through excitement, hesitation, and everything in between—building real-life reliability through fun, structured challenges.
Whether your dog is a first-time performer or a natural show-off, you’ll both walk away with stronger communication, better focus, and a whole lot more joy in your training journey. Let’s turn your dog’s potential into performance—one trick at a time.
What You and Your Dog Will Learn
Each week, you’ll explore new ‘circus acts’—fun and functional training exercises designed to strengthen your bond and expand your dog’s skill set.
Together, you’ll work on:
Focus & Engagement – So your dog tunes into you, even in busy environments.
Impulse Control – Helping your dog pause, think, and respond rather than react.
Creative Trick Training – Teach spins, leg weaves, platform work, jumps, and more!
Confidence Building – Support your dog through new challenges and tricky tasks.
Practical Life Skills – From polite greetings to leash manners and calm behaviour.
This isn’t just about tricks—it’s about training for the real world, in a way that feels like play.
