The pandemic has prompted a lot of us to stay home a lot more than usual. You start looking around the house and see so many projects that only a few months ago weren’t even on our radar. But now with so much time on our hands, we can tackle that to-do list.
There’s that dog training we’ve always been talking about. And why not get into shape again? Imagine running around like we did when we were kids, chasing the family dog all afternoon. If only there was a way to do both of these things at the same time. Well as this video shows, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
This dog owner combines working out with dog training, and it’s absolutely amazing to watch.
Alena Smolíková is one of the greatest dog trainers in the world, holding multiple championships in numerous tournaments. She specializes in Dog Frisbie and dog dancing. In this video Alena participates with her dog Jerry, a female Border Collie. As you’ll see in the video, this dog is an agile and talented pooch as well as a champion.
Crufts Heelwork to Music, Freestyle
Crufts is an international dog competition held annually in the United Kingdom. Crufts has multiple competitions and awards including agility, obedience, and flyball.
“Heelwork to Music, Freestyle” is a choreographed routine involving trainer and dog that emphasizes the dog’s obedience. These routines are set to music and they show off dog training creativity.
Man’s Best Workout Partner
The routine begins with an alarm clock blasting, and Jerry is ready to go go go! Before Alena can grab her first cup of joe, Jerry drags her out of bed and fetches a yoga mat.
On days when you’re feeling less motivated, everyone could use this kind of push. Jerry is doing what any good personal trainer would.
But Can Jerry Jump Rope?
Alena & Jerry go through every workout you can think of. They do squats, crunches, and pushups. But wait for the incredible moment when they jump rope together. This dog is truly amazing.
Not Just for the Single Set
The advice to stay at home has hit a lot of folks hard. In their own way, everyone has experienced hardship and it’s made all the more difficult if you have to go through it alone. Single folks have no shoulder to lean on, that is unless they have a pet in their homes.
But whether you’re single, married, in a relationship, or otherwise keeping your options open, you’ll love this talented dog and her owner’s amazing chemistry.
Animal Shelters Emptying
Don’t have a doggy workout partner? Don’t fear, your local dog shelter is ready to help. But you might want to hurry, as NBC News points out, folks stuck at home have been fostering pets from Animal Shelters across the country. This pandemic has helped clear out the animal shelters, and get these neglected pets the care they deserve.
