At this point, anyone with access to a computer will have seen a dancing dog video.
Whether it's the inimitable Dancing Nathan or Britain's Got Talent's Ashleigh and Pugsley, there's just something about watching the bond between humans and dogs dancing that has captured our hearts.
In this video, we get a glimpse of just what goes into such heartwarming performances. The clip features Swedish dog trainer Emma Willblad and her amazing dog Czar. Emma, along with her partner Vidar Risby, own Ego Dogs, a dog training facility based in Tyreso and Osterhaninge, Sweden. Emma has devoted her life to dogs and credits Czar in particular for helping her to hone the skills she uses today to help others train their dogs. Emma is a well-known figure on the Freestyle dog dancing circuit, and also maintains a kennel and dog salon on her property, which sits on a 22,000 square meter farm that also houses an indoor facility, enabling her to train and teach year-round.
In this clip, shared by YouTube user Chaine de Vasagasy, what is perhaps most striking is the absolute focus that Czar shows as he seamlessly performs their well-rehearsed routine. While there are many different trainers out there who use different methodologies, most experts in dog training will all agree that the key to any type of canine communication is the ability to be open enough to be able to learn each others' “language.” Every dog has his or her own way of communicating their wants and needs, and it is down to us to learn their own unique way of letting us know how they feel in order to effectively work as a team. We'd say that Emma and Czar are both fluent in each others' language, wouldn't you?
