Completely blown away by the flying lead changes. Truly beautiful. I was entranced! The very best part of this video is the joy in the dog's expression. If only the majority of grand prix dressage horses enjoyed their work as much!
Simply Pawesome Pair!!!! The Best I've ever Seen!!!...and this is why I LOVE Dogs so much! So smart and willing to please, they go beyond our expectations! BRAVO!!!
Ha ha! Passage, flying changes, spanish walk, half pass... fantastic! Only missing the canter piroette and the piaffe! So amazing and so well done. BRAVO!!!!
This is so beautiful, it made me tear up. I am a BC and Aussie owner, and also a dressage spectator. Thank you for posting this. It has put a smile on my face for the whole day.
This is beyond a great performance - between the beautiful music and their beautiful dance it says it all about the dog-human relationship. Very moving indeed.
This is SO lovely (and uses music by one of my favorite composer/musicians)! Thank you so much for posting this-- I have returned to watch it many times and am always moved to tears by this beautiful bond between dog and human.
Tina's Amazing Border Collie Chandi was such an awesome dog (R.I.P. Chandi) and they had such a very, very special bond. It was so beautiful to watch them together! I hope that her new dog Gracie will be able to perform like this with her some day
Absolutely amazing. I am, as others have said, moved to tears. I admire you for accomplishing such a bond with your gorgeous dog and for choosing to rescue.
Wow, amazingly beautiful! The very first time that I enjoyed watching dancing with a dog (I know it's freestyle actually), because it was done so beautifully and left the dog its dignity. Great choice of music, great performance, well trained dog!
This is talent and a lot of passion. The dog is awaiting to please and the trainer is being in control and soft. Was a pleasure to watch every detail of the video. Thumbs up if you agree.

Gosh I can't get enough of this video. I love how you look like a gentleman dancing with a lovely lady at a ball! And I adore how her face is like glued to your leg and she's always looking up at you like you really ARE the center of her universe. That's a dog in love. =) It's cute how her tail is wagging the entire time too especially on the back to back move haha. So cute!
Ein absolutes Dreamteam !!! Man bekommt Gänsehaut beim Zusehen. Einfach nur genial. Meinen Glückwunsch zu solch einem Traumhund und Tina ein dickes Lob für diese hervorragende Trainerleistung.
That was truely beautiful to see the relationship between you and your companion! Thank you for sharing this special moment with all of us. I hope you will continue to show us how smart and how much heart our four-legged friends have.
I have an aussie blue merle. The back yard is set up like an agility course. His favorite activity is catching the frisbee. He's a great soccer player. He's a team all by himself. Love my Rainydog. All dogs go to heaven or it wouldn't be heaven.
Tina, you say you would love to feel what its like to do flying changes on a horse. As a classical dressage trainer, I can tell you that with the empathy you clearly have with animals, should you ever learn to ride, you would go far. Absolutely beautiful.
That was the part that blew me away..you saw many elements of dressage - piaffe, sidepass, flying change of leads at a tempo of one, etc. It did start out a little slow as heelwork to music, but then it really came out!!
This video IS an amazing testiment to how smart dogs are. Chandi made up the backward walk! Tina didn't teach her that. This is magical-- the adoration on this dog's face is what is so heartwarming--in a world of so much violence and ugliness this was a treat. Yes, even tearful! Most children can't do this!
It is a good thing that BC's don't have Thumbs!!!!! They could take over the world!!!! At this point and time that might not be a Bad idea!!!!! You have done a most awesome job with your dog!!!!! She is SUPER AMAZING!!!!! Yes BC's are Very Very Smart!!!!! But truely only as smart as their master's!!!!!! KUDOS!!!!!!!! You and your dog are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Love to see the two of you performing together (you and chandi rip), and now you with Gracie who is also such a beautiful doggy. U have a lovely friendship. I pray you get to spend many many beautiful years together. Xxx
I think this dog looks very happy and probably enjoys learning new things as long as he/she can be with the person of which he/she loves. Some dog breeds need the mental challenge of learning new things or they go nuts. Nice job.
This is amazing, i love dogs and my puppy is my best mate but hes rather chilled and aint keen to learn many tricks, but every time i watch this i get a big smile theres such a bond and also evidence of a lot of time spent with your little mate which is awesome. well done :)
I absolutely adored this video. What an amazing pair, and such a cute theme (i.e. dressage with a dog). I would love to be able to have that same partnership with my horse. That dog obviously adores that owner. Thanks for putting it out here for the rest of us to enjoy - Judy
This was beautiful , to watch and to listen to both. Thank you so very much for sharing it! You can tell Chandi she's got a fan for life and give her a huge love from me :)
I thought I had heard that Tina adopted this dog from a shelter-- given away because he wouldnt obey the farmer who owned him. The shelter called Tina to she if she would adopt before he had to be euthanized ---- this dog was saved by pure love and it shows
It's called "I Giorni" by Ludovico Einaudi, inspired by a West African 12th-century folk song about a hippo who was loved by the people of the surrounding area but shot and killed by a hunter.
absalutely beautiful! I have been trying to get tempis out of my dog forever but I have to really push him in the oposite direction for it. And the passage and piaffe! Beautiful. I feel unoriginal now.
Still one of the most amazing things I've seen, still makes me cry. Tina for president! ...or at least for continuing work with dogs...
One of my favorite dances...So poetic !
Completely blown away by the flying lead changes. Truly beautiful. I was entranced!

So beautiful it makes you cry. An exceptional dog, a brilliant trainer.
Wonderful. How beautiful! This is an amazing pair. I was truly blessed watching this. THANK YOU!!!
Ha ha! Passage, flying changes, spanish walk, half pass... fantastic! Only missing the canter piroette and the piaffe! So amazing and so well done. BRAVO!!!!
Every time I see Tina and Chandi it reminds me just how MUCH I love my dogs. They're getting another great big cuddle right now...
Totally awesome. *sniff* A wonderful bond between dog and human doing a thousand year old dance together.
This is so beautiful, it made me tear up. I am a BC and Aussie owner, and also a dressage spectator. Thank you for posting this. It has put a smile on my face for the whole day.
As a dog trainer I have to say this is an awesome dog and great training!!! Kudos to the pair.There is truly a bond between them!!!!
This is beyond a great performance - between the beautiful music and their beautiful dance it says it all about the dog-human relationship. Very moving indeed.
It is just lovely. An intelligent dog, and loving his owner and enjoying himself well done Tina.
Tonight I heard the composer/pianist of this beautiful music..live in SF..he is amazing!!
I love the flying changes! She looks like she's loving every minute. Brilliant stimulation for a very clever girl!
You can see just how happy and proud these dogs are when they have finished, its a great thing to see. :)

The love and heart of this dog, amazing!
I like to watch this on a daily basis, it reminds me of who I am, and what I must do.
I cry every time I see someone so close to their dog,they understand each other so well.
Flying lead changes, piaffes, attitude of total enthusiasm. What a beautiful pair! I'm wow'd.
Wow, amazingly beautiful! The very first time that I enjoyed watching dancing with a dog (I know it's freestyle actually), because it was done so beautifully and left the dog its dignity. Great choice of music, great performance, well trained dog!
I never had a dog that wasn't a better companion than most people I know. Absolutely wonderful creatures.
Talent, commitment, and bond -- this team has it all. Well done!
This is talent and a lot of passion. The dog is awaiting to please and the trainer is being in control and soft. Was a pleasure to watch every detail of the video.
Thumbs up if you agree.
Oh I have a rescue dog like this who loves me just like this one does - If I had the time, he'd do just that for me. What a testimonial!!! Thank you
Gorgeous dog handling

....Its amazing that someone cared for their dog to teach them such an amzing "trick" nort many dogs do this...its outstanding
That's probably the coolest thing I've ever seen a human do with their pet...Outstanding!
Thank you so much for posting this. The beauty left me crying out of the happiness I had shared with my dog Barbie. Thanks so very much.
Utterly brought tears to my eyes! Wonderful!
How lovely! She and her beautiful dog truly move as one.
I had a smile on my face the WHOLE time I was watching the video... Just Wicked!!
This is so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes.
That was truely beautiful to see the relationship between you and your companion! Thank you for sharing this special moment with all of us. I hope you will continue to show us how smart and how much heart our four-legged friends have.
Truly amazing, the amount of focus that dog has and for how long she can hold it. There's really nothing a Border collie can't do!!
Simply awe inspiring and wonderful! Truly a friend in deed...so so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

The power of positive training right here. This was amazing. Thank you.
That was the part that blew me away..you saw many elements of dressage - piaffe, sidepass, flying change of leads at a tempo of one, etc. It did start out a little slow as heelwork to music, but then it really came out!!

wauw, this is magnificent, you can see that he loves his trainer/owner. He's wagging his tail non stop. I wish I could teach this to a dog.
Wow, amazing! Love dressage, and loved this rendition by a DOGGIE! Just fantastic!
Lovely. Really one of the best I've seen and the music is fantastic.
It is a good thing that BC's don't have Thumbs!!!!! They could take over the world!!!! At this point and time that might not be a Bad idea!!!!! You have done a most awesome job with your dog!!!!!

If only man knew it...!
So beautiful and inspiring - I want to train my own dog to do something like this!
I thought I had heard that Tina adopted this dog from a shelter-- given away because he wouldnt obey the farmer who owned him. The shelter called Tina to she if she would adopt before he had to be euthanized ---- this dog was saved by pure love and it shows
Truly lovely.
Brilliant idea to combine dressage and freestyle.
Well done. :)
