Do dogs react to music? Research indicates they do not. ButtThis doesnt mean that freestyle dancing is a false form of environmental enrichment for a dog. It can strengthen an already close bond with the owner – the dog must learn to follow cues in quick succession – and is especially good for dog owners who arent very fast or athletic and dont want to throw a Frisbee or ball around, but who love music and enjoy training their dogs and giving them some intense environmental enrichment. Your dog just isnt going to have one of those days where he cant get that tune out of his head.
