Canine Musical Freestyle

Verdell and I are taking a Canine Musical Freestyle course at Teamworks Dog Training Center.

"Canine Freestyle is a choreographed performance organized with music, illustrating the training and joyful relationship of a dog and handler team. Freestyle is an excellent discipline to illustrate the conformation and movement of the dog. The reach, drive and beauty of an athletic, trained dog moving to music can take one’s breath away."
(From Canine Freestyle Federation)

We will be posting our own video as soon as we have learned enough moves to fill 90 seconds.

In the meantime, here are a few of my favorites.












Enjoy!
