Every time my dog meets someone new he has to do a silly doggie dance and the dance instantly charms everyone. We have called it the "love me dance"
He is a very obedient dog yet no matter how much training we do he still does it and in all honesty he harms no one doing it, he seems to enjoy it, he looks cute so we all have given up trying to stop him.
Most people say they have never seen a dog do this, does anyone else dog do this or do they do something similar? He cant be the only one that does this lol

Not a dance but she does bring a welly to meet all visitors with.

I had a Toy Poodle years ago that I did obedience with at the conservation park. It was an uphill walk to the training area, which was on flat ground.
She was the only toy in the class, but poodles are very intelligent, and she used to get so excited when she realised where we were going. As soon as she could see the other dogs waiting, her pleasure knew no bounds.
She sooned learned that being little, it took ages before the rest of class came into sight. And that walking on her back legs made her taller, so seeing them earlier.
We were walking up the hill one night when a young boy said "Look Mum! A circus dog!"

Henry has a 'please walk me' song that he does each morning as soon as I have got dressed. It drives hubby mad!! :-p
my toy poodle dances for attention he stands upright stamping from one foot to the other and has his front feet together and paws the air so cute and he knows it

my pom x wizzes round in circles when she is excited and wants to go out. If she wants attention she to will stand upright bouncing form one foot to the other with almost a smile on her face. She also does the pom thing curling her lips back and smiling at you when she is happy to see you. Its different from a snarl no noise but to the uninititated could be mistaken for a snarl

I definitely recognise the lips curled back smile! My Chi stud boy does it, and when I go up to him, he throws himself on his back and shows me his willy!

actually now you say it she does the same , well no willie of course lol

Every morning when I come downstairs, my saint bernard Charlie is usually fast asleep in the sitting room. As soon as he sees me he rolls around as if he is having a back scratch. Paws up waving in the air wiggling around! All his crown jewels on display. I've always called it his dance and I always have a little laugh every morning at his sheer delight at my getting up. My lovely big soft boy!!
My toy poodle also curls his lips and shows me all his teeth when he is pleased to see me which I always say he is smiling at me, he also stands on his hind legs to get a better view when we are out but I think this must be quite common in poodles as we have had poodles before that have also done this.
My OH gets the boys out of their crates and they have a big stretch - as long as they can go and then off to the garden for the pee. He has to have a chair to sit on to do his boot up as they are so excited they try and get in his boots with him!!
Jake is my main problem (BC) if he sees anyone he wags his tail so hard and wants petting. At 3 years old and a big BC he is a bit overwhelming.
Whistler is the dance man ending up flinging himself on the ground willey to the fore!!
Both are too friendly but with children in and out I dont want them to change as they are so good with all the kids.
my little black crossbred,lady,used to work up to a dance,for food,if all herplaintive sqeaks and little woofs failed!anyone elses dog do a low howl as greeting?ive only one of the pair left now,and she rarely does it now,but it was lovely to come down to stretches and wags and the"greeting woo o oo ooos"!i knew one day id miss their lovely voices,and i do!

But at least shows suitable temperament! :-)
Yes but I get old ladies saying how sweet he is but if he jumps up he would bowl them over - he loves everyone.

Our Swedish lapphund used to dance if he met another dog he wanted to play with. He would paw the air with both front paws while bouncing on his back legs - he is the only one of ours who did it :-D
Treacle (gordon) tries to jump up on me when she gets excited then realises she isn't supposed to do that so immediately sits and woo's for attention :-D. Bramble (Bernese) headbutts you until she gets to walk through your legs then she is happy and leaves you alone :-D Being headbutted by an 8 stone bernese is not for the faint-hearted and I'm glad I'm tall or the walking between legs wouldn't be much fun either :-D

My nearly 15 yr old samoyed still dances (well tries to), he hops from one foot to the other when he gets excited. Of course with a house full of Keeshonds we just get continuous spinning when anybody gets excited, and the youngest jumps the height of the back door to greet us when we come home.
