Scott and his wife Joan produce a comedy stunt dog show called ‘Mutts Gone Nuts!”
that appears in theaters up and down the east coast. Scott, previously a professional juggler,
left the world of circus arts to produce a comedy dog act in 2008. He never looked back.

Trick training is a fun way to develop a positive relationship with your dog. Popular tricks such as wave, fetch, sit pretty, speak and play dead will create a starting point as we explore different ways to communicate with our best friend. Students will learn to reinforce behaviors with rewards like treats, toys and praise. Clicker training will be covered.
Advanced Tricks is a class for teams that have earned Novice and Intermediate titles and are ready to take on more advanced behaviors like jump rope, foot stall, backing, say your prayers, skateboard, footsies, leg lift, shy, limp and many more. Students will continue to improve their communication skills AND we’ll continue to focus on having a good time with our best friend.
