These amazing canine performers, under the guidance of their trainer Alex "Popeye" Rothacker, (Popeye & Sailor) jumps rope, walks a tightrope and balances a ball while walking, to name a few of their fun tricks.
Alex and his amazing dog act have performed throughout the U.S. and Canada for more than 20 years. They have made numerous TV appearances, including three times on Late Show with David Letterman and another on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", where the audience voted Sailor the Smartest Dog in the World. Alex demonstrates the training of animals for television and motion pictures. A trainer of police dogs for more than two decades, Alex will also explain dog obedience, protection and how dogs are used for narcotic detection. Canine unit demonstrations are also available.

It's so refreshing to work with performers like yourself and Sailor because we can count on quality. Everyone was entertained by your show and loved the interaction. There was not a person in the crowd without a smile on their face. - Sarah Rhees, Program Coordinator, Oz Festival, Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce, Chicago , IL
Your participation was the highlight of the event. - Lea Svibla, President, Adult Muscular Dystrophy Club
