Another great animal video - dog dancing
You may have seen it already.

Put the volume up so you can hear it.

Unfortunately the video quality itself is not the best, but what can we do?

This is one WELL trained dog.

My ex-wife and I used to breed dogs, and she trained them for show. I KNOW this stuff is not easy. It took a LOT of time to train this dog. He never takes his eyes away from her face, and he's responding to voice and hand signals. You can spend years training a dog for this.

2. Such a pretty well trained dog
And he is having so much fun too. That is what makes this one of my favorite videos.

3. Wow. Brought tears to my eyes well before the end. Such a beautiful, loving, intelligent dog.
Hope the owner appreciates what a fine little friend she has found.

Unbelievable accomplishment for the animal.

Thank you.

4. The thing I noticed first was how the dog NEVER took his eyes from the trainer's face.
She must have an amazing ability to communicate with that gorgeous dog.
They were incredible together.
I agree, that took a lot of time and patience and love.

7. When you train dogs for any kind of obedience stuff
you first get them to never take their eyes off of you.

That was the first thing I noticed too (a sign of a VERY well-trained dog) - that dog's eyes are glued to her face. It's watching her and nothing else.

5. I found what appears to a later video of them dancing on AM TV show.
It more clearly shows the moves and what she is doing to evince them. You can hear some of the commands.

6. I'd seen that
and it was interesting because I thought she was doing it via hand signals, but I posted the one I did because it's the best example of what they do.

Apparently - I just saw an article today - "dog dancing" is the new "rage" in Japan.
