Extraordinarily effective and enjoyable dog training experiences, empowering you to create the canine companion of your dreams
tired of chasing your pooch all over the park?
certain you could have a better life with your canine companion but no idea how to achieve it?
It started with a dream⦠of a delightful dog, a lovely life with a loyal companion. The reality of bringing a pup into your home is (usually) not quite so picture-perfect!
Were you under the commonly-held illusion that 6 weeks of puppy training would result in a perfectly polite pooch, and now youβre wondering what went wrong? Tearing your hair out or tearing around like crazy behind your out-of-control adolescent? Lost one-too-many pairs of shoes to an over-enthusiastic chewer? Or simply lost the will to live? We could go on, but we wonβt becauseβ¦

We totally get it because weβve been there too. In fact, Dakota and her first puppy were actually βasked to leaveβ training class and that (frankly shaming) experience led her to create a brilliantly better way to achieve co-operation without coercion, to restore your relationship and develop YOUR dog into the dog of your dreams.
βNot just a good dose of doggy-training but also a deepening of the bond between dog and owner.β

An utterly transformative, tailored training experience, deliberately designed to create delightful dogs and happier humansβ¦
Incredibly Clever Training
Even an apparently perfect puppy does not automatically evolve into an amazing adolescent⦠as any caregiver knows, raising a youngster to be an acceptable adult takes a little more work.
Did you want to give a rescue dog a second chance and are now wondering if youβve made a terrible mistake, but still determined to make the difference to their life you believe is possibleβ¦
Perhaps youβre convinced you canβt teach your old(er) dog new tricks and youβre βstuck withβ their behaviour for life?
Weβve got (fantastic) news for you!
Imagine a world whereβ¦
Your dog is polite in the park, pays attention to you, doesnβt embarrass you in the public and (best of all) shows the whole world what a terrific team you really are.
All of this is totally achievable and doesnβt have to involve hours of tedious, repetitive exercises! Social animals learn best through play and, whilst many trainers use play as a reward for good behaviour, at the Canine Circus play is woven into everything we do, making our training inherently rewarding for both you and your dog.
Whatβs more, we donβt simply train your dog, we teach you HOW to train your dog, building Incredibly Clever (and unbelievably useful) skills which translate seamlessly into your fabulous new life together.
Thatβs the magic behind our Incredibly Clever training!
