Davis - Dancing with your dog 1,2,3 & book

* Dancing with your dog, Tape 1: Getting started - Sandra Davis

Dancing with your dog is the common term for Musical Canine Freestyle, a new and exciting activity where dog and handler perform dance type movements together to music. It originated in Canada in 1991 and became a competition sport by 1994. It's judged similar to ice dancing - on technical and artistic presentation. It is also a FUN way to interact with your dog - if only for two of you, or to amuse your family & friends, or entertain at social & Charitable events.

"GETTING STARTED" by teaching your dog 20 movements that you can dance routines is what this video is all about.

Sandra and her Giant Schnauzer demonstrate how to teach your dog the movements in a step by step positive approach.

The moves are divided into 3 categories:

1. The 8 PARALLEL moves where dog and handler move together.
2. The 6 CIRCLES where the dog moves by itself.
3. and 6 FLASHY moves that don't fit the other two groups.

Following the instruction in each category, Sandra and her Border Collie will perform a dance routine that features those movements.
