Finally got around to uploading a photo

After being somewhat active for the last few days, I realized I needed to change that little green guy to something that members who I knew before will recognize. In this photo is Ciara and Penny. my beagle/border collies. I love this picture because it looks like they are waiting in line to get petted. For those who don't know my dogs, Penny is the one in the background. Her coat is shorter, like a beagle's and she is the hyper, in your face, dog. Ciara, on the other hand is the opposite. Those this picture was taken shortly after she had her fur shaved for the summer, she actually has long hair like a border collie. She is also very laid back and slow, but only physically...Why do I say that? Because as much as I love Penny, she isn't that bright. For the last few weeks I have been working with both dogs to teach them to dance. I am starting with twirl and Ciara already knows the turn clockwise and has almost perfected counterclockwise. Penny...well she will turn, but only if I have a treat and only if I slowly move my hand for her to follow. That is how they start out, but with Ciara, she turns at a flick of the wrist. Maybe later I will have a video to share to show how smart Ciara is. In the meantime, if there is anyone here who has any experience in teaching a dog dance steps, I can use any tips you may have.
