Intro to Freestyle

Canine Musical Freestyle, sometimes referred to as Doggy Dancing, is a fun sport that combines obedience and tricks with your favorite songs, and a dash of creativity to make your dog shine!  It’s meant to highlight the connection between you and your dog, and to showcase the things you both do best.  Some routines even involve costumes and fun props to bring them together.

What if you’re not a natural dancer, you ask?  Don’t worry about that at all!  Actual dancing is certainly not required … unless you want to add that to your routine, that is.  That’s the great thing about freestyle – you get to decide what to include for you and your dog!

In this class, you will get the chance to dip your toe into a fun and creative activity with your dog.  You’ll learn some freestyle moves and tricks that you can put together into short sequences. 

Whether you want to compete and earn dog sports titles, do a fun community or therapy visit demo, or just dance with your dog for fun in your living room, this fun class will get you started.  You’ll then be ready to move on to the Freestyle Beginner class!

Pre Requisites:  Home Companion Class.  Your dog should be able to walk nicely next to you on leash and be able to focus on you in the presence of other dogs.  Resting quietly in a crate for periods of time during class is also necessary.
