Incredibly clever Classes
Dog training classes like no other!
Why settle for run-of-the-mill, uninspiring dog training? We believe you and your precious pooch deserve to learn whilst enjoying all the fun of the Circus! Leave your preconceptions and past experiences at the gate and discover the sheer joy of forging a firm foundation for your relationship through our Incredibly Clever dog training classes.
A modern, inventive and entirely enjoyable experience, underpinned by sound science and years of experience. We don’t create cookie-cutter canines, devoid of character and primed to ‘obey’ at any cost. Instead, we work with your dog’s individual personality and preferences to bring out their best-behaved self!
In other words, we create…
THE GREATEST DOGS ON EARTH!
Classes for adults
Our weekly classes take place at our private training ground on the Surrey / Hampshire border, just outside Farnham, between Easter and October. All adult classes are presented as courses of six weeks’ duration with maximum six participants per class, ensuring a truly tailored approach where every dog and human can reach their potential.
Classes for kids
Our young handlers’ courses are shorter at four weeks, although everyone initially also attends a “Super Saturday” taster session to get a feel for how our Circus training works. We limit our young-learners to four participants so that everyone receives lots of individual attention.
Divas, Devils and Drama-Queens
We have plenty of space available and can generally adapt the environment to suit dogs who need a little extra space around other dogs / people. However, if your dog is particularly uncomfortable in group situations please consider joining the Circus of One for your initial experience, where we can work on building their confidence, focus and relaxation skills in a calmer environment.
The ultimate reward for your investment is having the kind of relationship you always dreamed of with your dog.

There are three levels of training
for Adventurous Adults
Fabulous Foundation
This is our entry level class, suitable for dogs of any shape, size or age (from approx 6m plus). No prior training is required as here we work on focus and confidence along with some simpler tricks and routines, creating a strong foundation to build on in later courses.
Ingenious Intermediate
Once you have mastered all the twists and turns of foundation level, you will be ready to step up to our second level course! Here we start to build more involved tricks and routines and give more focus to working at a distance, as well as consolidating everything learned in foundation class.
Astoundingly Advanced
Only the most committed Circus dogs make it to the Astoundingly Advanced course! Here we work on building complex routines, polishing your dog’s self-control in social situations, together with some of our most advanced tricks and stunts, worthy of the most talented circus performer.
Courses for Curious Kids
Super Saturday
An hour of fun where you and your child will start to learn how to train your dog the Circus way.
In this fast paced, highly interactive, creative session your child will be able to test out doing a whole variety of tricks with their dog from jumping through hoops and twirling on the spot to unrolling a yoga mat and so much more.
Circus Starters
A fabulous four-week course designed to inspire your child to become an Incredibly Clever dog trainer.
Spend an hour a week with your dog and child where they take the lead - literally! Whilst we teach them all the skills required to become a fantastic Circus-dog trainer (with a little help from you), you get to watch them develop into the dog trainer they dream of being. Side benefits include a better behaved dog!
CIRCUS OF ONE
Circus of One: Solo Sessions
We believe all dogs should be able to join the Circus…
