advantage

Dance, in the animal world takes on a totally different meaning than the
idea of “dance” in the human world. Even you can become an outstanding
canine freestyle handler once you understand team movement. Judy will
lead you through discovery of your own unique style within the art and sport
of freestyle. Moving Forward coaches you how to move in a manner that
will compliment your dog, drawing the audience’s attention to your canine
partner, without actually dancing!
Pre-Requisites: The Next Step or Permission from Judy or Cherie
$75 per team or $25 to audit
New Date for 2011 to be Announced

"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."

Canine Freestyle: Something New $45
This workshop with Marcia Barkley is specifically focused on handlers and their
dogs with training in obedience and/or rally.The workshop presents a set of basic
freestyle movements – some of which will be familiar, but set in a new context – as
well as concepts that are foundational to canine freestyle as a competitive sport.
During the “brown bag” lunch break, we’ll watch video clips of some truly excellent
freestyle performances. By the end of the workshop, you and your dog will be
moving to music in simple choreography, and you’ll have new inspiration for your
“training toolbox.”
Pre-requisites: Handlers should have some familiarity with the vocabulary of rally
and competitive obedience. Perfect heel position is not required of the dogs, but
they must walk nicely at the handler’s side in the classroom. Bring a 4-foot leash,
treats or other rewards for your dog and a bag lunch.
Sun 10:30am - 1pm, Sept 19 Bring Lunch

Training With Respect & Understanding
Canine Freestyle for Therapy Dog Teams $95 for series of 4 classes
Canine freestyle is a GREAT idea for those who are part of organizations such as Lend-a-Heart or the Delta Society, as visitation
or animal-assisted therapy teams. It gives you something new and extremely entertaining to offer.Turn up the volume on your
iPod, or pull out that little boom box, and entertain for two minutes or twenty seconds - in single rooms, in a group gathering, or
even in the hallway! Patients and their families will love this, and the care staff will too! It will definitely bring out the smiles!
What’s more, you can do this as a single team - just you and your dog - or create a group routine with two or three of your fellow
therapy teams. Group routines are a little like synchronized swimming, and they never fail to wow an audience.
How to get started? Marcia Barkley of Music Plus Dogs! will present a series of three two-hour workshops designed specifically
for therapy dog teams. At the end of the three sessions, you’ll have created a routine specific to you and your dog or for your
group.
Pre-requisites: Dogs must be able and willing to walk nicely at the handler’s side in the classroom.
Please use a relatively short leash (4’ is recommended), and appropriate rewards to make this a very positive experience for
your dog. Bring water for yourself and your dog.
Sun 2:30 - 4pm, Sept 19 & 26, Oct 3 & 10
