I’m thrilled that the Small Dog Circus I class starts March 7th at 11 a.m. at Master of Hounds. This class is one of my favorites because it celebrates how brave and amazing small dogs can be.

Classes like this don’t come around often. Most small dog training focuses on good behavior, but this one is different. Here, your dog gets to show off their courage, personality, and unique skills. From spins to jumping through hoops and other fun tricks, these little dogs prove they have big hearts and even bigger spirits.

It’s wonderful to see how much joy and confidence this class brings to both dogs and their owners. If your small dog is ready to shine, I hope you’ll join us!

The class begins on March 7th at 11 a.m.

Let’s come together to celebrate the big personalities of small dogs!

Held-breath anticipation as the nose locks on… then that grounded, supportive teamwork moment where the handler stays close and lets the dog do the thinking—curiosity, focus, and trust all in one rep.

Grimm working a tough distraction vs. target picture: peanut butter in the environment, rat in the tube—so he has to sort “yummy” from “right.” This low, steady focus is exactly what we’re looking for in NASDA Discrimination & Distractions work.

Did he choose right here—peanut butter… or rat?

Want to practice this with your dog at Rats and Dogs with Cathy and Albert (Jan 24, 2026)? Come join us: https://trainingwithalbert.com/event
