  The objective of Freestyle Dogwork is to show the dog/handler team's working relationship, share the joy of training and present the dog to his/her best advantage. In this 2-hour long workshop we'll achieve this by learning to recognize the most beautiful of our dogs' attributes and by learning to blend those into a logical movement piece, accompanied with music, that is a pleasure for spectators to watch. We spend time on the techniques of training movement, but just as important, we teach the concepts that help you to create a movement piece while handling your dog in a way that enhances every motion. This workshop builds teamwork like no other! Dogs should have basic obedience skills such as heel, stay, come, sit and down. Skills need not be advanced. The best work will be done off-lead, but dogs can stay on lead if necessary.

  • Location
    Front Ring (enter through the front door)

  Training is fun, training changes your relationship with your dog and training changes your dog.  But is training enough?  Do you have behavioral concerns beyond the scope of obedience exercises?  Come to this informative clinic, offered once a session to discuss relevant treatment plans to help shape your canine's behavior.  Housetraining, Stealing Objects, Counter-Cruising, Excessive Barking, Door Greetings, Jumping up, Toys and Inappropriate Chewing, are just a few of the subjects on the table.  This Clinic is purely a Q&A.  Your questions will be answered by our Certified Master Trainer and animal behavior expert. Attendees are not required to stay for the entire clinic once their concern has been addressed.  Come and go as you please.  This Workshop is for humans only, but dogs may attend if they remain manageable during discussions.  While we may discuss Reactivity, Human-directed Aggression and Dog-to-Dog Aggression, we regret that these dogs cannot attend the discussion.

  This unique play opportunity will teach you how to "ground" your tiny dog during play and to create trust in the working partnership of you and your dog. Littles who are well grounded and have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Wallflowers class! We will actively discuss body language as it occurs.

  No females in heat, no dogs with known reactivity issues, no dogs with a history of a bite. Additionally, play time may be restricted for intact males.

  Please bring your own crates if you need one. This class will not have moderated entrances and exits, instead the owner will be on the floor with their dog. If you cannot sit on the floor, this class will not benefit your dog. Event Rules are available on-site. Come join this unique play experience!

  Shy dogs unite! Come play with other shy dogs! Wallflowers who have shown bravery may be asked if they would like to stay over into the Adult Play class!

  If your dog has NEVER played in a moderated group before, you are welcome to sign-up for pre-play testing to see if your dog’s skills are appropriate for group play.

If your dog needs One-on-One Therapeutic play, this service is available by appointment.
