Canine Couch Potatoes: It's Time To Get Your Dog Involved In Sports (Music Freestyle)

In musical freestyle (also known as freestyle obedience or dancing with dogs), you and your dog can dance your way to a title. This amazingly fun sport is open to purebreds and mixed breeds alike.

Musical freestyle started in the 1980s, and as of 2004, there were two major sanctioning organizations for musical freestyle competitions - the World Canine Freestyle Organization (WCFO) and the Canine Freestyle Federations (CFF).

The WCFO has two basic formats to freestyle dance: heelwork to music and musical freestyle. Heelwork to music requires that the dog maintain a 4-foot or shorter distance from the handler. To jazz up these performances (expanding on the classic heel position), competitors perform fun moves, such as weaves through legs.

The CFF has four levels of competition, Level I being the shortest and easiest; Level IV is the longest and most complex. The Level I and II requirements include right and left-side heelwork and pace changes. The Level III requirements include right and left-side heelwork and backing up. Level IV includes right and left lateral work and distance work (dog and handler separated by a minimum of 6 feet).

A panel of judges scores freestyle competitions, similar to the Olympics, and performances are rated on technical and artistic merit. You may compete in juniors, singles, pairs and team (three or more pairs of handlers and dogs) divisions.

You're only limited by your imagination and the safety of your dog when performing musical freestyle. Handlers (and sometimes dogs) wear costumes appropriate for the music and routine. Freestyle allows variations on any move, provided it's not dangerous to the dog. For example, competitors may hold their arms open, and have the dog jump through (although this trick may not be so easy with a larger-sized dog).

Your dog can excel in the sport of freestyle because of his intelligence and desire to please – thus allowing him to quickly learn complex maneuvers. Start training in freestyle by teaching your dog the basics of obedience: heel, sit, stay, stand and down. The more obedience your dog knows, the better (and that goes for all doggie sports).

Next, start teaching your dog more complex moves, such as backing up, weaving through your legs, spins and pivots using positive reinforcement techniques, such as treat rewards and clicker training. You can't use food, toys or training collars (slip collars, prong collars, etc.) during a freestyle routine, but basic, flat collars and leads are permitted.

The WCFO and the CFF both offer a variety of different titles and levels in which to prove you and your dog's proficiency as a dancing team. Contact the WCFO or the CFF for information about titles, events, groups and trainers nearest you.

BONUS : Canine Couch Potatoes: It's Time To Get Your Dog Involved In Sports (Rally Obedience)

Sporting events are considered the most engaging activity that any proud owner of a sporting breed can enjoy. Complete and total stimulation for the mind and body, your dog will get the exercise of its life while becoming a smarter and more obedient companion.

Even dogs without registration papers can compete and earn titles in most activities. To compete in the American Kennel Club (AKC) or United Kennel Club (UKC) events, your dog will need an Indefinite Listing Privilege (ILP) or Limited Privilege (LP) number, all of which can be easily obtained through these organizations.

Before you get started though, be sure that your dog is healthy and in good shape. Always have the veterinarian check your dog before starting any sports that require a lot of exertion or jumping. If you have a puppy, wait until it's about 2 years of age (or is cleared by your vet) before competing in activities that can stress it's growing joints, such as agility, flyball, flying disc or sledding.

Rally Obedience

Rally obedience, or rally, is best described as a cross between a rally car race and an obedience trial. Your dog must perform a series of commands, such as jumps and weaves around people or objects, in order as directed by a series of signs on a course.

At each station, the sign states which exercise to perform. Performances are judged on the proper completion of the course within the time limit, but judging tends to be looser than in formal obedience trials. Handlers can talk to their dogs as much as they want and may give multiple commands.

Rally is a great way for people and dogs who normally don't like the rigidity of traditional competitive obedience to have fun and compete. When running a rally course, you must perform exercise such as a halt, right turn, send over a jump and a finish (a finish is a return to a site or the heel position). And like other types of competitive obedience, your dog will need 170 out of a possible 200 points to qualify for a leg.

To compete successfully in rally your dog should be familiar with basic obedience commands and should be able to heel on and off leash. Familiarity with some basic agility obstacles such as bar jumps and weave poles is also helpful.

Rally is a fairly new sport and as of January 1, 2005, you can earn titles through the AKC. Contact the AKC for information and rally events. As in formal obedience, taking classes with a professional trainer is a great way to get started in this sport. Trainers who specialize in obedience are often familiar with the training requirements for rally, which can be found in your local phone directory under “dog training.”
