The dog dancing duo

Bérczes breeds Australian shepherds in Hollókő and runs a dance school. In an interview with NOOL, she said that she heard about dog dancing from a friend, took an online course in 2016 and has been teaching it online ever since.

“When I was a child, our family always had a dog, and even then I spent a lot of time with them, trying to make them obedient,” recalls Christine Elisabeth Bérczes. “My husband got me my first Aussie shepherd named Jack. Then, he got me to apply for a dog show and we later began breeding them.”

Bérczes completed a dog trainer course in 2016 and was introduced to dog dancing by a friend. The sport that can be translated as dog dancing is a very powerful relationship builder between owners and their pets. Only a few people had heard of it one or two years ago, but nowadays it is becoming increasingly popular.

“There are few dog sports in my county, and we are the only ones to teach dog dancing. Now more and more people are taking their dogs to the dance from all over the country. This activity can be practiced individually or in groups, and is a great way for both dog and owner to learn and relax,” comments Bérczes.
