Ever dreamed of running off to join the circus? What about your pup? If the idea of jumping through hoops, balancing balls on your nose, and performing in front of an audience holds special appeal, you can satisfy your desires by heading to a fun-filled backyard in North Oakland. Started in 2011 by Francis Metcalf (an award-winning trainer who’s worked with stunt dogs, police dogs, and guide dogs) and his wife, Norma, the Canine Circus School offers courses for dogs and their owners in a hidden dreamland filled with vintage carousel horses, disco balls, rocking chairs, and strings of white twinkle lights.
