************

In the sport of "Canine Musical Freestyle" you create a dance routine with your dog and perform it to music.

The World Canine Freestyle Organization defines canine freestyle as follows:

"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. 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."

Dogs must have all of their shots (with the exception of rabies, for puppies).  Human handlers of any age are welcome! (If you feel your child may distract you or others, please treat yourself to a babysitter and leave your child at home).

Lori McKenna, CPDT-KA is the guest presenter for this workshop.  She is an excellent trainer and does Canine Musical Freestyle competitor with her dogs, Griz and Lindy.
