Four-Legged Fur Dance

This is soooo fun. It’s simple and EVERYONE has a part NO MATTER what level you and your dog can do WE NEED YOU! Take the class or do home-study and join us for our holiday visits to senior citizen facilities with your Dancing Dawg.

Dancing with your dog is called Canine Freestyle, Dog Dancing, or Heelwork to Music (HTM). Simply put, you train your dog to do a series of tricks and moves using verbal praise, clicker training or food rewards. Then you choreograph a routine from the tricks and moves and perform it in time to music where you dance together. Anyone who has a dog and likes music and moving around with the music can do this with their dog.

The routine involves handling, obedience and agility, and creates a bond between you and your dog. It is a very popular dog sport. Heelwork to Music generally has you and your dog remaining close together. Canine Freestyle and Doggy Dancing routines are more sophisticated and your dog doesn’t have to be in the heelwork position throughout the routine.

Cues are given with your hands, legs, or the way your body moves. Many owners start with marching music and move on to other styles such as Rock and Roll, Disco, Latin Dance, Roaring 20′s, Country Western, Polka, or Classical upbeat music.

Our routine will be to “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree”. If your dog can walk, sit, down, jump up on a chair, wear a collar- YOU ARE IN!!
If your dog can do just alittle bit more you have a longer part. If your dog can spin, back, leg cross you have an even bigger part BUT all levels are needed to fill the routine for the nursing home visits. Come join us YOU TWO will have a blast. 
Send us an email so we can put you on the list. Take the class and learn the best training tips and have a wonderful time. OR You can practice your part at home, call and ask questions and just show up for two dress rehersals and help out that way :)   
Send me an email. This is so much fun and very heartwarming to visit our senior citizens during the holidays. Hope you are interested.
