Check out what this Border Collie named Lizzy is capable of. It’s an activity that’s going to blow your mind. Really impressive too!
Teaching dogs to do tricks require so much time and patience. But to see the results of your work is unbelievably fulfilling. This woman went beyond the usual sit, stay, and speak.
Sandra Roth is an experienced dancer who’s been lighting up stages for years. She also has a unique skill for dancing duets with not-humans.
Roth is involved in “dog dancing” with her dog, Lizzy. In the sport, owners and their four-legged-friends perform choreographed routines at competitions. It really is entertaining to watch even though it doesn’t have international publicity.
The Dodo says that Roth is a jazz and ballet dancer. She believes dog dancing is “the perfect sport” – being that she’s able to mix her passion with her lovable pooch.
But it wasn’t necessarily an easy task teaching Lizzy how to dance.
“Lizzy has been learning tricks and freestyle moves since she was a puppy. But we’ve had many problems and she was not an easy dog. So our main focus for the first 3 years was on her social behaviour and not on dog sports.”
Since Roth never gave up, the dog ended up learning skills she could use to compete with her owner. Apparently, she even began liking all the attention she’d get from crowds.
The duo entered a dog dance freestyle competition in Germany. Their performance left a lasting impression with the crowd.
The routine took place in a massive room, and is set to piano music that viewers have pointed out is from The Last Unicorn. Roth is stunning in a gorgeous white costume with a unicorn horn. Lizzy goes out with no costume. The dance starts and all eyes are on the duo.
Roth goes ala ballerina while Lizzie does a variaton of her own. The adorable dog even kicks out a leg!
Lizzy shows off her skills, walking backwards, looping through Roth’s legs, and even jumping with grace.
Lizzy even does a running leap over Roth’s head which the audience loved! When it comes to the dance, one viewer commented on YouTube:
“How is this possible? How did you manage that!??!!! Amazing!!!”
It’s incredible to witness the strong bond between woman and dog as the dancing act went on.
They move beautifully together as a duo, making one wonder how long it would have taken to teach Lizzy the magnificent routine. All the time and dedication they spent together was all worth it.
Some viewers posted comments on YouTube about how the performance even left them emotional. One person wrote:
“Amazing. That put a tear in my eye and another rolling down my cheek. Just lovely.”
Another commented:
“That was sooo beautiful. I cried so much because of the connection they must have. That breed of dog is naturally super intelligent but that was amazing.”
