Christina Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Nooooo. The RSPCA may say it is cruel, not in the animals best interests, the dog is not enjoying it, how is the dog affected mentally ? were methods used to train humane & approved ?

Erny Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 That was very clever. And I'm not saying it was cruel. But there was something about the whole thing I didn't like. Maybe because it was so far removed from things "doggy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 It was very clever. But dogs in dresses always weird me out a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Its too humanised for me. I'm kind of twitchy about animals being animals. Dogs on their hind legs in dresses is too "circus" for me. The dog looked to be OK with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Midniara~ Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 I would normally agree but the dog really looked like it was having fun and that is the reason why I enjoyed it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Maybe if they hadn't put the silly dress on it.. I dunno, I guess I found that a little creepy. If it hadn't have been wearing a dress, I don't think I'd have had an issue with it and even then, it's not so much the clothing (my dogs wear pajamas and have dressing gowns, after all) but.. I'm not sure, I can't really put my finger on it, just.. no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Its too humanised for me.I'm kind of twitchy about animals being animals. Dogs on their hind legs in dresses is too "circus" for me. The dog looked to be OK with it though. I'm glad others are thinking like me. I felt a bit like the fun police. Sorry, Midniara. That's not to say someone else who likes it are wrong so I'm not having a go Midniara . It's just not my cup of tea.

Fleuri Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 What a clever doggy (a touch weird though) my only concern would be if the dog has hips or joint problems in the future but I wouldn't know, I'm not a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percyk Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 it made me smile cos i love salsa and this dance the meringue ( meh-ren-geh) is really fun to dance but it is kinda a sexy dance and that is a bit creepy..it has a lot of gyrating and dips and hip-py moves im not sure it is the right thing to do with a dawgy lol i was a bit worried watching the dog on its hind legs for that long...dunno bout the health issue long term but doggy dancing overall is pretty cool to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapferhund Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've seen it before and I loved it...its very clever. IMO its one happy dog and dog and handler have a very special bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I hate u-tube posts cause I always have to check out the others shown alongside and end out burning up both time and bandwidth. It is amazing how 'in tune' dogs can be with human motion. I can't see it as cruel. Costumes look a little silly, but hey, what's wrong with silly. This one brought up a horrid horrid 'dance' of two SWF's in a plexiglass cage supposedly dancing the meringue . . . that bothered me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liebhunde Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Didnt like it at all as soon as I looked at it. Cant tolerate seeing dogs dressed up at all...not even a bandanna..and the whole thing was just wrong to me..I prefer to see dogs being dogs..way too circussy and takes away from a dogs natural grace.
