Cirque du Canines began in 2019 with the collaboration of former Ringling touring performer, Gail Mirabella, and longtime trick dog performer, Michelle Harrell. Sharing a vision for what a "Dog Circus" should look and feel like, Gail and Michelle combined their talents, their dogs and their ideas to create an exciting performance for the stage. Both believing that love, care, and positive reinforcement training were of the upmost importance. Our dogs are our family, our lives and our stars.
