My wonderful little Sophie💕 This was our first time in the main arena and we were both super overwhelmed at the start (as you can tell!). Once we started her favourite moves she perked up! So proud of her❤️
jen w how did you manage to train her to do this? My chi will only do the things he wants to do. In fact he’ll often do the opposite, I ask him to sit and he’ll lay down, I ask him to lay down and he’ll sit. He enjoys learning tricks whilst he’s getting food but once he realises that he’s not getting food for everything he does he’ll just sit and look at me, offended that I expect something of him.
Chihuahuas are actually really easy to train if you just treat them like the intelligent dogs they are. I've trained several chi's and they are super quick learners.
@@jrr2045 I agree. I am the most impatient person on the planet... actually the entire solar system, I've owned Huskies, Hounds, Terriers, B-Collies, Mongrels, and by far the easiest to train was my Chihuahua.
I think chi's are underrated when it comes to training.. people in the comments are saying how hard they are to train but I have a few dogs and have trained dogs for friends and my chihuahua is the easiest dog I've ever trained! Whether it's simple thinks like sit and stay, or dancing or jumping onto my shoulder, he picks up things so quickly and loves to impress! Maybe I got lucky but he's an absolute dream with everything I train him with.
You are right. Our Chihuahua is very smart. She learns commands quite quickly, even from various family members. Her learning time goes anywhere from 5 minutes to a day or so. She loves everybody in the family, and is protective of all. Other Chi's we have had only gravitated to one or two of us. The extra talent she has? My son has epilepsy, and she alerts us even from another room, when he will have a seizure. If that isn't perception, I don't know what is.
My now 14yo chihuahua Bonnie was super easy to train. She easily learnt many words and phrases and about 12 tricks, some quite complex. Chihuahuas can be fantastic and smart!
I think people underestimate Chi's. Many bad Chi's are the result of bad owners. I have had them before and my current one was easy to train. Is he hardheaded? Yes, but that's a breed trait. I don't have accidents in the house and he responds to commands. Sometimes if he thinks he's getting a treat out of it is will run through what he knows without me asking.
@@aandreya mine absolutely loves kids..he's so friendly towards children, other dogs, bikes, and so many other things that I've seen other chi's freak out at. I definitely consider myself lucky in that regard. As for training, stay is ok but leave it is what I struggle with. I'll tell him stay and he will, but when I put some food or something he wants on the floor he's off like a rocket. Takes about 10 times to actually get him to stay until I say ok. He's not the biggest fan of agility, he likes jumps but that's about it. He did come from a neglectful background where he was locked in a cage for almost 8 months so the tunnel is taking a lot of work but I think we're finally getting there!
Very cute!!! Jenny had to take very tiny steps when Sophie was on Jenny's feet. Cute! Cute! Cute! And well done too, especially for a first time for a small dog in the big ring!
Awww!! Sophie is so petite and such a good dancer. She is a beautiful little girl and Jen is proud of her with good reason. This is so inspiring i might go home and try train my cat. Lol.
Fab job well done you! I have a longcoat Chihuahua who started competing in Agility last year, so it shows Chihuahua's can!! Again well done to you both lovely to watch ♥️♥️
Okay, I have watched this about five times! I'm in love with it! Great job guys! Fantastic job Sophie!!❤🐕 I can barely get my dog to lay down!!🤣 Great Routine, I love the song!!🐕❤❤❤🐕
I have a Chi (pure bred ex show/stud dog). He is very affectionate, easy going, smart, has never growled or bitten anyone. He is just a happy well rounded Dog. People buy Chihuahua from backyard Breeders & they pay a lot of money for big trouble....people think & read up on the Breed... Such a wonderful, fabulous Team 10-10 from me 🦋🌸🦋🌸🦋
Tell me I'm not the only one who started laughing when the announcer said, this is a b!tch when the cute little dog came out. I know that's actually used for female dogs at dog shows but it's still funny to hear.
This is amazing and so friggin' cute on top! I just attended a Dog Dance workshop with my chihuahua, too. We will probably never get very far, but it was great fun and it is so cool when tiny dogs rock the stage!!
That's a myth, my chi picks things up super easily. I was weirded out by how much harder it was to try and teach my inlaws' sheltie puppy some basic tricks in comparison while they're supposed to be stereotypically more trainable.
Justyna Wisniewska Exactly my chi picks up tricks in literally just a few tries, she can “dance” target and sit though sometimes she confuses “dance” with sit lol she gets a bit excited 😆
This was an impressive performance. I know that these routines are difficult for tiny dogs, but Sophie pulled it off beautifully. The routine was clever, and Sophie was charming and cute. Bravo, Jenny!
I remember watching TV variety shows as a little kid. A lot of them included dogs doing tricks and a lot of times the dogs were Chihuahuas. And they almost always performed brilliantly! So I have a Chihuahua all these years later and while he's an affectionate little guy, he's not very bright and he's a bolter. It's really frustrating as all hell. 🤤
Just watched for the first time today. Wonderful job!!!! Really motivating to someone like me with a young dog thinking about competing. Thank you both!
one of the commentators in this clip, Richard Curtis, also did amazing heelwork to music work with his chihuahua, Betty. IIRC they once won third place at Crufts
sorry i coulden't finish watching this. Sophie is very talented, but i started crying about Garvoche...he sings part of this song in his death scene and i am still not over it...
I taught mine to do 3 circles before I put her food down and thought I should be given the Nobel prize. Took really no teaching though... she did one, I said wow and she kept going. I said ok roo that's enough! Every night now she does 3 circles on her own 🤷♂️
I think this routine was hard to appreciate because of the Chi's size. It just wasn't as dynamic as those bounding dramatic large dogs. However, they should have looked more at the complexity of the dance, and the incredible number of "tricks" the dog performed. For a Chi, that's an amazing attention span, whereas Border Collies can remain fixated on signals for an hour if there's a treat involved. I have one of each, and the Chi is a lot more inventive with spontaneous tricks than the stubborn BC who already has so many inbred traits. Love both breeds, but the judges weren't fair on this one.

Great job... Sophie is a wonderful dog. All dogs are trainable and people need to see that. Thank you for showing people how great little dogs are.
She is so well trained. I loved it :)
jen w She is amazing!!! My chihuahua is smart too. Sophie is just so adorable.
You did a wonderful job! ❤
I have to admire someone having the patience and perseverance to train a Chihuahua. Well done, Jenny!
spaynneuter Aww thank you!!
@@JennysDogs well done, team!

A lot are just bred wrong, and then combine that with people who don't know how to train all that well, then you get little monsters.

This is adorable. Especially cute chihuahua.
A small dog that packs a big punch. Her energy and joy and grace illuminated the enormous arena.
I love the somersaults. Didnt know they could do this. So cute
Is there any song more befitting a Chihuahua? 😂❤
That was so precious! I didn't stop smiling for ten minutes after. Well done!
What a sweet little Chi!!! Melts my heart.
Very cute!!! Jenny had to take very tiny steps when Sophie was on Jenny's feet. Cute! Cute! Cute! And well done too, especially for a first time for a small dog in the big ring!

"This is a bitch. She's five years old". 😁
I was very confused as i began to watch these shows, its really funny if its not your language.
@@sanSDI lol It is unusual to hear that word used to actually mean female dog. It's usually used as a cuss word that can't be used on prime time TV.
@@Primalxbeast In the dog show world it is actually unusual to hear it used as a swear word.
chihuahuas are the best
This is amazing and so friggin' cute on top! I just attended a Dog Dance workshop with my chihuahua, too. We will probably never get very far, but it was great fun and it is so cool when tiny dogs rock the stage!!
Aww that’s amazing! Stick at it, I’m sure you’ll do really well 😀
What a brave and talented little dog
Love this! Amazing song choice and the routine was great
You’ve got to be kidding me. Okay...this is too precious and cute. What talent this little one has!
Should get extra points for level of difficulty in training a chi, as opposed to a border collie or other more “trainable” breed. Very cute!
That's a myth, my chi picks things up super easily. I was weirded out by how much harder it was to try and teach my inlaws' sheltie puppy some basic tricks in comparison while they're supposed to be stereotypically more trainable.
Justyna Wisniewska Exactly my chi picks up tricks in literally just a few tries, she can “dance” target and sit though sometimes she confuses “dance” with sit lol she gets a bit excited 😆
Great routine and choice of music! You must be very proud of your little girl, give her a big hug from me
Such good choice in music! Could not be sad watching it!
It matters little to me the score. This trainer and her dog performanced just beautifully.
love chihuahuas. they may be small. but they are loyal and fierce as they need to be. better guard dogs you will never find. DEATH FROM BELOW
Lol
This was an impressive performance. I know that these routines are difficult for tiny dogs, but Sophie pulled it off beautifully. The routine was clever, and Sophie was charming and cute. Bravo, Jenny!
She deserved a way higher score, are the judges blind? So unfair!!!
Brilliant! Love the music. You and Sophie are an amazing team!
Such a sweet rendition. Chihuahua. Wow!
Wow., d dog can actually memorize all those moves & he’s just 5 yrs old..! I don’t think i can do half his steps❣️👏👏👏
He remembers them but not all together shes giving him subtle commands
How beautiful
What a great routine so cute
BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU 😢
I wish my chihuahua was this well behaved ... mine is on a whole other level, I’m trying to get him to stop barking at babies 😳
I labeled this my gizzy in my eyes! Lol i know what you mean.lol
😂....mine is quiet but independent
❤
Absolutely precious!!! Sophie is a beautiful little treasure!
Sophie is wonderful

What a little sweetie! And smart too!❤️❤️❤️👍
What a cute and smart 🐶!!!
To train a chihuahua.. What perseverance and patient o.o
That was cuter than it had any right to be. I think it's great that Jenny benefits from it helping her with social anxiety.
So adorable!!
How awesome!!!! What a cute dog with a wonderful routine!!!
What a cutie pie doggy! Marvelous! 🌷🌷🌷
Such a cutie and a excellent performer❤️❤️
I loved how Jenny downsized the scale of the 'routine' to fit her little Sophie. Very imaginative.
Great job both
They r just delightful!
Total cutie, such a great show!
So precious little one.
Beautiful little darling
Soooooo cute 🐶
Can't take the smile off my face
So cute !! they did amazing 💕

So very cute
She did brilliant! Is the whole competition available for either Freestyle or HTM? I keep just finding single routines
Amazing little angel 😘❤❤❤
치와와 너무 똑똑하네요!! 대단해요 ㅠㅠ 최고당 !!
