Ever had a dog?
If you have, the chances are you'll have trained it to learn simple commands.
|
|
|
But some people can train dogs to a much higher level.
And we're not talking about commands like "sit" and "fetch"...
|
|
|
...we're talking canine choreography!
Yes - dancing for dogs!
|
|
|
Gail and Stephen were joined in the studio by Kath and her dog Ginnie, performing a section of a dance routine they'd perfected for the dog show, Crufts.
|
|
|
Kath said that dog dancing is increasing in popularity in the UK.
|
|
|
Gail was challenged to perform a routine with Ginnie, much to Stephen's amusement!
It usually takes Kath about four months to perfect a routine, but Gail travelled up to Sheffield to Kath's home, to get a few hours of advance training.
|
|
|
So how did Gail do?
|
|
|
On the whole, not bad!
She said that very it's hard work, but good exercise and it makes you close to your dog.
