Canine Freestyle is another event that is changing the face of dog ownership. More and more clubs are teaching this wonderful interactive dancing with your dog. Usually a handler starts out learning obedience and graduates to these special steps with your dog. If you look into it most of these dogs that perform at the level of the one in the video are OTCH (Obedience Trial Champions) or very close to it!! By the way... if memory serves me the dog and handler in the video are the National Champions of Canine Freesytle in 2001.

HERE is a link to more information on what is required to enter a canine freestyle competition. If you know basic obedience you can probably enter your dog in Level 1. Dixie and I did this for awhile but I did not feel comfortable dancing in front of people so we just do it now on our own occassionally as something fun to do. I have two left feet!! Dixie loved it!!!
