How to Make Your Dog or Cat Do the Toc Toc Dance With AI

You can make your dog or cat do the Toc Toc dance from one photo: sign in with Google, upload a sharp, full-body photo of your pet, choose 6 or 10 seconds, and the AI puts your pet into the viral white-room take of the dance with Patrick Sébastien's "Toc Toc" on it. Your pet stays an animal: it stands on its hind legs, hops and taps a paw where the dancer knocks. Every video uses credits (packs start at $9.90, and there are no free videos), and results with pets vary more than results with people.

The AI Cat Example

The middle clip above is an AI-made tabby cat by @shalunts_art, posted on TikTok on 4 October 2026: the cat does the routine on its hind legs in a living room, and it had about 1.6M views on 25 October 2026. It was made by that creator, not on this site, but it shows the idea.

Our generator follows a different video: the solo take by @castinggastro, the first clip above. So your pet dances in that bare white room with the fixed camera, not in a living room and not in the background of your photo.

Which Photo Works Best

• One pet per photo. The generator is built for one dancer per video.
• The whole body in view. The routine is full of hops, so a photo that shows your pet from ears to paws gives the AI the most to work with.
• Sharp and well lit. Blurry, dark or backlit photos give the AI less detail.
• Facing the camera. A front-on photo works better than a side view or the back of the head.
• No heavy filters, stickers or watermarks. Photos with another app's watermark are turned down.
• Format. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB. The background of the photo isn't used.

What Your Pet Does in the Video

The generator tells the AI to keep your pet an animal while it follows the routine of the original take:

1. It stands up on its hind legs and hops in time with the song.
2. Where the dancer knocks twice on an invisible door, your pet taps a paw.
3. It carries on through the rest of the routine, in the same white room, with the same fixed camera and timing.

Results with pets vary more than results with people, and AI results vary from one render to the next, so the same photo can give a different video each time.

Dog or Cat: Does It Matter?

Both work, and so do other pets. The AI keeps whatever animal is in your photo and makes it dance as that animal. Neither is guaranteed to come out better: what matters most is a sharp photo that shows the whole body.

How to Make It, Step by Step

1. Sign in with Google. Signing in is free; videos use credits.
2. Upload your pet's photo in the generator on the homepage.
3. Pick a length. 10 seconds (13 credits) is the whole routine, from the first hops to the final pose. 6 seconds (6 credits) has the hops, the two knocks, the arms-out beat and about two seconds of the side skip, and ends before the turn back and the final pose.
4. Tick the box confirming the photo is of your pet (or of you, or of someone who gave you permission), then start. Rendering takes several minutes, longer when it's busy. You can leave the page; the video keeps rendering and shows up when you come back on the same account.
5. Download or share. Download the MP4 or tap "Share to TikTok". On a phone it opens the share sheet; on a computer it copies a caption and gives you a download and a TikTok upload link.

The Sound and the Video

• Sound: the same stretch of Patrick Sébastien's "Toc Toc" that the TikTok trend uses, taken from the TikTok sound of the take and lined up with the moves.
• Video: a vertical 9:16 MP4 in 720p with no watermark, saved in your account's history.

What It Costs

Credit packs are one-time payments, not subscriptions, and credits never expire:

• Single: $9.90 for 20 credits, enough for one 10-second video plus one 6-second video, or three 6-second videos
• Trio: $19.90 for 60 credits, enough for four 10-second videos or ten 6-second videos
• Crew: $29.90 for 100 credits, enough for seven 10-second videos or sixteen 6-second videos

If Something Goes Wrong

• The render fails: it's retried once for free, and if it fails again your credits come back automatically.
• The photo is turned down by the AI's content check: the credits come back too.
• You're not happy with the finished video: email [email protected] and we'll refund your payment in money to the card or payment method you used, not in credits.

Your Photos

Your pet's photo is uploaded to this site's own storage and used only to make your video. The AI provider doesn't keep it, and you can have your photos and videos deleted any time by emailing [email protected].

Pet Toc Toc Dance FAQ

Can I make my dog dance with AI for free here?

No. Signing in with Google is free, but every video uses credits, and there are no free videos. The smallest pack is $9.90 for 20 credits.

Can two pets, or my pet and I, be in one video?

The generator is built for one dancer. If your photo shows two pets, or you and your pet, the AI may make both dance side by side, but results vary, so for the best chance use one pet per photo and make a separate video for each.

Will my pet look exactly like the photo?

The AI uses your photo to know who the dancer is and keeps the animal's own look, but AI results vary from one render to the next, and more so with pets than with people. A sharp, full-body photo gives the best chance of a close likeness.

Can I post my pet's video on TikTok?

Yes, you can use your video for your personal posts. Turn on TikTok's AI-generated label when you post it.

Can my pet learn the real dance?

Probably not, but you can. Our guide to how to do the Toc Toc dance breaks the routine into five moves, and the Toc Toc dance trend page covers the song, where it came from and the reference videos.
