Well, I'm not an expert in reading dog body language but the dog's tail is wagging through the whole routine so he/she seems to be having fun.

... or maybe he is using it as it was 'designed' ......  for balance

Gandy is correct. That dog is loving every second.

In fact, from what I am seeing, the dog is probably having more fun than the crowd.

dogs are friends and followers of the owners, make them do whatever you want them to do is really easy, food and good care makes things alot easier with dogs

you don't need to force them in the way the circus does with their animals, you know how those animals revenge the misery those people make them suffer(delicious trainers)

Very true. Dogs love it when they understand what you are telling them and they are VERY eager to participate in games or "trickery and humor".

Molly is always trying to play a trick on me. It's very simple stuff like a 4 year old would come up with but she LOVES making me laugh.

it is like see playing rose, my brothers pet, she likes to play seek and hide with my nephews

it is so weird because she doesn't use her nose, she seeks them by looking at them, no idea why

when she can't find them, she gets worried but when she finds them too fast she looses interest in the game

They all love to do stuff like this.

It's unfortunate when someone owns a dog and doesn't recognize or realize how much fun they love to have.


EDIT: Here is a list of games that dogs LOVE to play. Not all dogs will love all the games but a list from MY experience.

Catch me if you can: The dog runs from everyone in the group, all trying to simply touch him on the back.

Keep away: Similar to "Catch me if you can" but a toy is involved.

Tug of war : Find me a dog that does NOT like this game. LOL

Quick draw: The dog will lay a favorite toy within your grasp and then "dare" you to try and get to it before they can. This one is fun because they will employ many tricky tactics such as pretending to look away or backing up to give you an advantage.    

Catch: Or "Fetch" What list could not include this one?

I'm glad others saw it the way I did.

There is no way one can force a dog to do tricks. The only thing they respond to is positive reinforcement and kindness.

Yes, some circus animals are abused. That's unforgivable.   

The end of the video is very telling. The man puts his hands on the dogs jowls and behind his ears and gives a little rub with his fingers as if to say "good dog". The dog wiggles his/her butt and the tail is wagging. That's a happy dog.

Another perfect example of a happy dog.

Every dog that I have had thrived on getting attention from me.  The owners in these videos obviously spent a lot of time working with their dogs, and I bet that the dogs loved it.
