Musical Freestyle

Freestyle is a great way to polish heeling and create a fun exercise for you and your dog, whether you intend to compete or just do it for fun. If you are good at it, you can always offer to demo your routine for Club functions. Its often called "dancing with your dog". Several organizations hold competitions and demos. Read each organizations rules and decide where you fit in.

OrganizationsWorld Canine Freestyle Organization This organization has video competition, as well as fun meets and competitions all across the country. Canine Freestyle Federation - CFF - geared more to polished heeling and lots of it, showing the beautiful relationship between the dog and handler, and less on show business.

World Canine Freestyle Organization - WCFO many different divisions to compete in. Some more geared for the "entertainer" with props allowed and costuming; and another heelwork to music is showing polished heeling with other moves.
