Heeling to music…

14 March 2005


So I was watching Crufts there on Sun. Well, I suppose I was really reading while waiting for ER to start, but I saw bits of the dog show.

So can someone tell me why this freaky thing known as heeling to music exists. It seems to consist of this mad wan prancing about, as she embarrasses her dogs by making them follow her, or go backwards, or walk on two legs. Now I’m sure that it is really, really difficult to train your dogs to do that (she had four on the go at one stage). But OMG it is just mind-boggling, has she nothing better to do (have I nothing better to do than blog about it?), and if she is so good at training dogs, couldn’t she get them to do something doglike, as opposed to doggie-dancing?
