Musical Freestyle
Does
your dog like to listen to music?
Does his tail start wagging tail when you dance?
Maybe your dog is telling you to try something new.
Maybe it’s time for you both to try Musical Freestyle.
This is a
wonderful activity for your Therapy Dog or your Best Friend.
"Musical Freestyle is a choreographed musical program performed by handlers and
their dogs. The object of musical freestyle is to display the dog and handler in
a creative, innovative and original dance, using music and intricate movements
to showcase teamwork, artistry, costuming, athleticism and style in interpreting
the theme of the music. Musical Freestyle routines should create a visually
exciting display, which is enjoyable to watch, and which is equally enjoyable to
dogs and handlers executing the programs. Canine freestyle is a showcase that
truly demonstrates the joys and fun of bonding with your pet."
