Freestyle/Dancing with Dogs

Class Description:Dancing with Dogs is a new dog sport offered by GCOC. It is a creative dog sport set to music for fun. Dog moves taken from obedience, agility, rally, hunting, fly ball, tricks, dressage, conformation, and the dog's own natural behaviors and cute or unusual moves are choreographed to music. Handler moves include walking, basic dance elements, and simple exercises to interpret the music that is matched to the dog's movement, size, and personality. There are no required moves. Dogs and handlers choose moves they can do. There are no age limits for dog or handler. Children through senior citizens benefit from the joy and fun of creating dances, marches, and simple skits with their dogs. Day and evening classes and private lessons are available.
Cost: $75 non-members/$52.50 GCOC members
