Canine freestyle is so neat. How many hours does it take to teach a dog that stuff?  "Are you a dog trainer?" "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night."

Reply Contact A friend sent me that link and my first thought was that it's easier to ride those movements than train the dog to do them!  The one thing that did confuse me is why the handler would be wearing equestrian gear at a dog show.  Seems a little silly, but maybe that's what she was going for!

I know many have seen this one, but my favorite is Carolyn Scott & Rookie to the song from Grease. It is simply adorable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqbVbPvlDoM&feature=related ~ISGrl and the Irish setters, Cadie (9 yrs) and Riley (2 yrs)

After watching that I taught logan to high step with his front, it's fairly easy.  It was really cool and I'm now hooked, Logan and Nik will learn to dance :)   Lani- Dog.community Moderator Proud Idogger since April 2005
