12 weeks & already violating stuffed toys? First dog. I guess I was very surprised that he was already "dancing" (what we tell our youngest) with his stuffed toys at 12 weeks. Is this the typical age for this or are we in for more than normal dance shows? LOL |
Some pups start early. Max was lifting his leg at 12 weeks. He danced very little and only with one toy, so we put the toy in the closet. |
I had Teegy for one day he found my black fuzzy winter boot. Need i say more. Two days got home a bunch of toys and he really liked "dancing" with this one giraffe. I ended up putting it in the cupboard until he was bigger |
Peyton was an early "dancer" too! Didn't bother me too much. He pretty much only does this with his Piggy. :D |
When I first caught Apollo doing it (around 15 weeks), I was a bit shocked...but I read that puppies do it to show dominance. Apollo only does it to toys that are bigger than him. Figures. |
My chachi did it at 8 weeks |
Yes, it seems that boys love to dance at an early age, they are just little horndogs. LOL |
Ziva is a high energy busy dog and has always danced. We tell her no and having Abby to play with has limited it. We mostly catch her in the evening (behind the couch) when things are winding down and she still has some energy left. Abby has never attempted it and looks at Ziva like she is crazy! |
I notice it is only the toy the breeder brought from home with the other dogs scent on it. LOL We were in pet smart yesterday and my daughter found a large long stuffed toy and said I bet Marley would love to dance with this one. The man standing next to me busted out laughing. |
Yoshi has always been this way and he has a huge monkey that really gets his engine going,,,my grown daughter nicknamed him Sir HumpsALot. |
Oh that is SO funny! Neither Ringo or Lucy have ever been 'dancers'. But my maltese, Casper, had a big stuffed Bunny that he loooved to dance with. He had that thing for YEARS. My Mother would just be horrified that her grandson was growing up watching Casper 'dance' with his bunny. I think I allowed Casper to continue just to drive her crazy. Anyhoo, one day we boarded Casper for some reason and before we brought him home - the staff washed all his blankets AND his bunny. (Yes, we sent the Bunny). Do you know he never touched that thing again? Ever. And he never had another friend like that Bunny again. RIP Casper and my long-suffering dear Mother! |
Joey had a favorite dance partner by the name of Big Red. Seeing a little 12 week old puppy dance is so funny, and we wondered about this, but later learned it was normal. In fact, all this dancing helps the testicles to drop. They were just like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers and he loved to dance with her until about two months after his neutering surgery. Then he hung up the dance shoes. |
This thread really had me rolling with laughter. But anywho, Gizmo humped when he was 14 weeks, once, I said no. And he stopped. Than the little booger tried again, I stopped playing, said no, then rolled him over on his back and scratched under his little chin. Yay for the submissive pose. |

I feel very bad, seeing little Bubba do it is funny, but it is such a double standard. With the 2.5yr old lab, not funny, just uncomfortable. The lab does it to his bed, only because that size teddy bear would be difficult to find:p |
I am soooooooooooooooooooooo glad my girls aren't dancers! I love the way you guys are describing everything though. Sitting her laughing my head off!!!!!!! |
I have laughed so hard reading this thread. None of mine have ever danced at all. With so many that do dance, I have to wonder, are my girl's normal?? LOL |

Sophie Kate (yes my sweet little girl) used to dance with any Loofa Dog. It was disturbing -yet funny. She was on a no Loofah Dog diet for awhile but does better now. |

Max danced a little standing on his hind legs, knees slightly bent, when we played tug-o-war with THE toy. I would sing "You ain't nothing but a hound dog" because he looked just like Elvis shaking his pelvis. :p |

Too funny! :D Both Brody and Mia "dance"...but they "dance" with each other. We call it the "humpty-bump" and it is so funny to watch. They do the "humpty-bump" when they play...usually one 'knocks' the other down first then the knocker-downer "humpty-bumps" the knocker-downee. It reminds me of Lion King, especially when Mia does it..."pinned ya"..".pinned ya again" but I think it is more of an 'alpha' or an "I won!" thing. They are "air dancing" or doing "dance at's" (daylight between them) after all and both are 'altered' appropriately. DH always encourages Mia to "humpty-bump" Brody. Men! :p |
He's not dancing for ugh well "pubescent" reasons he's dominating his toys. Watch his show of dominance & control it early. Or video it & threaten him in his teenage stage to show it to the other pups in obedience class. It's 3 a.m. I'm silly with exhaustion. |

I meant to say that I would blackmail her with her doggie to get my things back that she had stolen. It worked everytime.:D |
The six Cairns I used to have, all girls, used to specialise in the Conga. All in a line, each up on the one in front, doing the Conga line round the house. Whenever the front one got fed up of bearing the weight, she'd pull free & go hook on the back so every body eventually got to be the leader. |
Cody has been dancing since shortly after brought him home at 13 weeks. He primarily likes to dance with his beds, any blankets, and his hide a squirrel toy. Only that toy, none others. But any bed or blanket will do. We have a strict no-dancing rule, but he tries to get his ya-yas in anyway. Stubborn little dude. Funny story... we had a friend and her two children over right before Christmas. They were in the family room watching a Christmas movie while we talked in the kitchen. Suddenly the 7 year old comes in and says "Cody's dancing! Look!" And, you know, he totally was. My friend was trying desperately not to laugh while I deadpanned and told her little girl "It must be all the Christmas music!" and then went in and gathered up my little excitable guy. |
"DANCING" I love that term...what a good way to address it with children! |
