Practice & Socialization

Come out and join us for some Rally, Tricks, Freestyle, and Socialization. Rally - Shan This week, Shan, filling in for Pam, will set up a Rally course of 10-20 signs with the dog at the handler's left side. At each numbered sign they perform the indicated exercise then move to the next sign. In Rally, there is unlimited communication between your dog and you. The dog and handler team is on its own to complete the course correctly and in a timely fashion. Each course is different and a new "experience," which makes it fun and challenging. Tricks-Sharon Everyother week Sharon comes out to show us how to show us how to get our pups to do some fun tricks. Tricks help your dog to 'learn how to learn'. If your dog can learn tricks, then she can learn obedience and good manners. Go ahead...have some fun and teach your dog a new trick! The best way to teach your dog a trick, is to make it fun for her. Use praise and small treats to reward your dog. Freestyle-Sandy and Shan Shan will bring th boom box so bring your favorate music and show us your moves. 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. Heelwork-to-Music incorporates traditional dog obedience and the art of dressage with the inclusion of musical interpretation, dance elements, and costuming with an emphasis on non-standard obedience movements. If someone needs practice some basic obedience commands, or brush up on their socialization skills we be there to help you.
