Mutts Gone Nuts

Imagine five of the world’s most talented 4-legged performers in an uproariously funny, comedy dog spectacular that is leaving audiences everywhere howling for more, and you’ll get Mutts Gone Nuts! The all-star lineup includes the highest jumping dog in the universe, a hilarious six-pound Pomeranian Pikachu mix, and a host of previously discarded dogs that will dance, prance, flip, and skip their way right into your heart.

Mutts Gone Nuts’ dogs were all adopted from shelters or rescues. Sometimes the very behavior that drove the previous owner to relinquish the dog, becomes the dog’s star quality. The show’s trainers use positive force-free training methods. They look for the dog’s natural talents by getting to know their individual personalities. Once they find out what the dog likes to do, they reinforce those behaviors with treats and/or toys. When not on tour, Mutts Gone Nuts’ furry cast members have the run of three fenced acres at the home of Mutts Gone Nuts’ producers, and of course, they all live in the house (some even sleep in their bed).

Don’t miss this family friendly show created by veteran comedy team Scott and Joan Houghton, who performed their duo act ‘Jessie & James’ on variety stages from Tokyo to Las Vegas. In 2014, the Houghtons joined forces with some of the country’s top dog trainers, world class comedian Jonathan Burns, and eight adorable pound puppies to create this action packed, comedy dog spectacular.

Deemed “A must see!” by the Washington Post, Mutts Gone Nuts is sure to win Best in Show!
