DOGDANCE

Dog dance dogdance

Beginning of our "Dance career"  

Dog dance. You maybe wonder WHAT the dog dance means. I also did, when my mistress started to talk about dancing together. I think that she was out ot her mind, because I know that dogs don't dance. But she said, that we can also dance. I have listened, when she put a flat thing inside a machine and some noise come out from the boxes. 

My mistress has found information of dogdance from the Internet Tahtitassut's page. She is enthustiatic of this thing. She has decided before my birth that she will start dogdancing. Thus she started to teach trick to me during my puppy time. If she took goodies visible, I will do what ever.

 

First tricks were "basic things" like:

laying down

sitting 

and standing still

 

and ofcourse following her beside and in front.
 

 

Later we learnt more difficult trick. I will mention some:

I can bow...

and go a round through my back    

Go small circle rapidly.

 

 

We started our "career" going to beginner course. Fist lesson was exiting, because I didn't know what I should to do. There were also a couple of other dogs. So I didn't the only one who have to shame ;-) ! Our trainer Kati Häkli, from Kontaktikoirat, told to us more detail about this hobby. We watched from vidiot equipment how skilful dogs and their leaders can do performance.

Then was my and my misterss turn to show what we can do already. I though that I can not do anything. But she has teached me some movements and tricks. Putting those one after the other ... yes I can dance!

 

Later I have learnt more difficult trick. 

 

    I can jump.

 

Sgtand on my back legs. 
(This is important, because 
so it is easy to see,what  
delis are on table.)

 

 

When my mistress put her leg's tip to floor, i touch to it with my front leg.
 

 

 

While she turn around, I touch the hip with my front legs (yes standing on my  back legs).
 

 

Slalom between legs is quite boring, but I can do it, if I will!
 

 

 

I go under her leg and raise my front legs over it.
 

 

I go between her legs. Sometimes we start to walk after this.

 

 

After all this is almost as fun as agility. I will do almost whatever if I get a sausage

Our first competiton was dogdance in Padasjoki summerdance.
