Canine Freestyle

"Tricks + Communication + Movement + Creativity + Music + FUN = Freestyle"
This is how Diana Logan describes Canine Musical Freestyle!

She says "Freestyle is the perfect blend of all of the above and there’s no end to what is possible. Freestyle is FREEDOM of movement. Side passing, backing up, spinning, weaving, close heeling, directional changes, jumping…these are but a few movements in Canine Freestyle.” 

Still not sure what Freestyle is? Check out this classic video of Carolyn Scott with her Golden Retriever, Rookie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqbVbPvlDoM

Worried that you can’t dance? 

Diana Logan, our clinician, offers this reassurrance,  “If you are like me, you aren’t skilled at dancing, but if your dog is like most dogs, he’s a talented dancer and will relish what freestyle has to offer."

Join Diana Logan at Positively Best Friends! for a fun morning with YOUR best friend!

Who doesn’t enjoy watching dogs play? There is so much to be learned from observing dogs interact with each other. 

Positively Best Friends has its own version of the Puppy Bowl: Canine Coffee Club. 

Get your day off to a great start with a hot cup of coffee and a cool playtime for your best friend! (See schedule) 6 weeks $60.00 - limit of 6 dogs

Today's Training Tip:

Remember to recognize and reward (reinforce) your dog's behavior for all
the good things he does that you like and want your dog to repeat.

Ignore as much as possible the behaviors that you don't like or don't want
your dog to repeat. Be patient! 

Dogs do what works!
