Still Waters Posted August 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The Kennel Club has announced a ban on 'degrading' routines and tricks following a rise in the popularity of dog dancing. When Pudsey the dog triumphed on Britain’s Got Talent, it led to a surge of interest in the little-known pastime of dog dancing. The animal’s performance, pirouetting on his hind legs and weaving through the arms of his 16-year-old owner, Ashleigh Butler, prompted other owners to have a go with their pets. But some of the dance moves being attempted have so alarmed the Kennel Club that it has announced a ban on certain tricks. http://www.telegraph...s-for-dogs.html Personally I don't like to see any animal dressed up in clothes, or doing so called party tricks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplos Posted August 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Personally I don't like to see any animal dressed up in clothes, or doing so called party tricks. I agree. Dogs are dogs. You should like them because they are dogs, not little fuzzy humans who poop on the lawn. Respect an animal for what it is, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted August 19, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I agree with the Kennel Club. Their Twisting is cute and harmless but their Foxtrot is degrading and usually ends in tears. (specially for the fox) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldethyl Posted August 19, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I agree with everything banned excepted the 'degrading' by dressing the dogs up part. I don't think a dog feels degraded wearing a conservative costume because they are not human and do not feel human emotions. I think they feel emotions as a dog lover I do but I don't think embarrassment from a sparkly vest is one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle Battlefront Posted August 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think I'll stick with my dogs party trick... He's always high-fived, and now does it to the command "What up" like on How I Met Your Mother Although he can stand on his back legs for quite a while. Never asked him to do it, he just likes to see what I'm cooking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
