We observe their natural abilities and what they can do. Then, we base our tricks on their natural abilities,” noted Jorge. The family patriarch, Pompeyo comes from a long line of dog trainers and started to trick-train dogs at a very young age. He and his wife, Natalya, use their platform to promote animal rescue and adoption. “We feel that it’s important to bring the message to audiences that dogs in shelters can be stars. Right now, shelters are full. If audiences see how talented rescue dogs are, we can motivate them to adopt,” he added. They also showcase the power of positive reinforcement. Their cheerful approach to training fosters happy and focused performers. On stage, the dogs exude unwavering confidence, seemingly oblivious to the sizable audiences around them. Every successful performance is met with enthusiastic celebration and, of course, delicious treats. The Pompeyo Dog Show wows audiences with colorful, high-energy acts that typically include a mix of acrobatics, dog tricks and dance routines. The dogs perform a variety of impressive feats including jumping through hoops, walking on tightropes and balancing on balls. It’s easy to see the dogs enjoying their contributions to the show, working in harmony like a joy-filled machine. The younger members of the Pompeyo troupe also enjoy participating in the family business. “They like to travel and meet people,” said Jorge. “It’s fun for them too,” he affirmed.
