Well I was really waiting and looking forward for anybody to start writing in this topic... I do love to teach my dog new tricks. Does anybody do like dog dancing here? I do IPO training but would love to also put togehter a whole ruitine just for fun. If you have videos I would love to see them...
I don't do doggy dancing but I have started to teach my dog a few tricks on my own. Fun assuered.

Nova: -slalom between my legswhile I'm walking -do "eight" 8 while I'm standing also (similar to slalom) -jump over my up lifted leg from side to side -jump up into air to the direction I point with my hand -crawl on the ground
Zorro: -"play piano"...he goes and puts his muzzle on the keys and plays some sounds -"dance"... he goes and jumps in the air and then again...to and fro
In my free time I teach Blue some tricks and a little dog dancing.
He loves those kind of excercises: - a bow - lift! (he jumps and touches my hands with his) - slalom - eight (also backwards) - jump trought my arms (i make a ring with my arms) - jumps over my legs - roll - he can choose in wich hand i have a snack for him - "go back" he goes around me backwards - kill! he runs and jumps usually on my boyfriends back and arm (like biting...but he doesn`t use his teeht) -"riding", I have him between my leg and we go forward and than back - often we play hide and seek - but his speciality is how to find crabs and lost turtles
I`m thinkig to take some videos of those tricks...maybe...next year ?

1. "Die" I point her with finger and at the same time say "Pum!"... Nana turns on her back.
2. "Jump" I lift my right arm on the air and ask her to jump. Well, she jumps as high as my hand.
3. Of course she knows how to shake hands when I say "Good day" to her.
4. Nana also sneezes on command.
5. Nana streches on command.
6. She brings every object I ask her to bring. Food bowls, pens, paper, coins, her own leash, forks, spoons, SAUSAGES(without eating them)... anythig I ask.
7. She brings Iggy(my other dog) back from his trips (Iggy is not the most intelligent dog ).
I train BR so not realy tricks but i have learned coby one very usefull trick namely "Zoek rafa" search rafa my stephson of 12 very usefull it avoids yelling like hell and not getting any awnsers; ringing every bell in the neighbourhood in vain and looking at every known hidingplace he has. The dog does the trick linea recta. Much time saved
My first dog was great at dooing tricks, she could throw paper in the trashcan, open and close doors, lie dead, roll over, bow, dance on her hind legs, ring a bell, sit with her front paws off the floor, bring me the news paper, jump over my legs, wave, walk the stairs backwards etc... Now I have 4 dogs and the only thing they can do is touch the things I point to with there paw and one of them does bucket tricks, pikking it up, put one ore two paws in it, rolling it with the nose and turning it over. Currently my parrots are the ones dooing tricks and the dogs go out to train
I also love to teach my dog new tricks and she loves it, actually more than training obedience :-/
she can wave with her paw, play dead, roll around, stand on back legs, walk on back legs, go zick zack between my legs (not really good yet), bark without sound- you know like mals use to do when they just "clip" their teeth
I have friends that do dogdancing, my sister does that with my older dog, so you get a bit inspired
Of course she's learned tricks by herself I don't appreciate, like opening waterbottles, which often is done in my bed...

You do that with Warga ?? Wow... that's a great job to do with a blackneck dog !
It's not the only thing we do of course, we train IPO as well, but it's fun to learn tricks when you're bored indoors and Warga loves it
No irony: respect !! I went to your website and saw pictures of Warga *very nice pictures* and learned it was a dog from blackneck kennel. Most people have hard time to train IPO only...and you sum up lot of tricks too. With a Malinois like Warga, her line and how Blackneck Kennel promote their dogs.
Great job
