Dog vids (dancing and staying)

furtechHere are two dog-videos I was pointed to recently that I really enjoyed.
The first is a fantastic canine-freestyle (dog-dancing) routine that is somewhat famous now. Performed to "You're the One that I Want" it features Rookie and Carolyn Scott-- two stars of the canine freestyle circles. Absolutely amazing choreography and movement! (Thanks for the heads-up,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tori04! You were right!)
Carolyn and Rookie make it look easy, but that two and a half minute song had to be broken down beat by beat, then movements designed for those beats, then Rookie needed to be trained for each movement (those that he didn't already know) and then the whole thing put together. The dog has to remember the whole routine-- with just the subtlest hints or whispered cue from Carolyn. Incredible.
This second video may only be funny to border collie/agility owners, but it cracks me up (you'll love this one, Eric)! So simple, yet so funny! Just clips of dogs at the start of an agility event, well-edited. Plus, excellent choice of music! (<--one of my all-time favorite bands, "The Clash"!)
