According to the press release;

Veteran comedy team Scott and Joan Houghton joined forces with dog trainer Samantha Valle and comedian Jonathan Burns in 2014 to create Mutts Gone Nuts, an action-packed comedy where dogs are the biggest stars. Deemed a must-see by the Washington Post, these four-legged entertainers—including what they’ve coined the “highest jumping dog in the universe,” two Guinness World Champions, a hilarious “six pound Pomeranian Pikachu mix,” and more—perform daring feats, dances and more.

TRAHC has also scheduled other dog activities during the day leading up to the show:

  • Free Drop-In Dog Art Spectacular, 1-3 p.m., Regional Arts Center
  • Dog Food Drive
  • Dog Adoption Meet & Greet, 1-3 p.m., ArtsPark

This show is for dog lovers of all ages. The great thing about this show is how the dogs have been trained. According to the Mutts Gone Nuts team, the behaviors that made the former owners of these dogs give them up to shelters is the exact reason these dogs are so talented.

The trainers observed the dogs' personalities and worked on tricks that were specific to their behaviors. It was all positive reinforcement training with toys and treats. Lots of treats!
