I just got back from a most exhausting, but educational and exciting weekend. Barbara and I do Canine Freestyle and we belong to the Carolina Canine Freestyle Guild. Our group organized a seminar with Kristen Scicotte to learn all about music and choreography for freestyle. I had a great time and learned so much.
We had to bring Ambrose along but he knows nothing about freestyle yet. Everyone made quite a fuss over him. It really is quite sickening.
But he had to stay in the crate most of the time while I got to work with Barbara on our freestyle moves and of course I got lots of cheese, hot dogs and praise for doing so well. Ha!
Here are some photos of my freestyle friends doing their moves. Smudge can actually put her paws on Sue's feet and stay there while Sue walks forward!!
Takoda and Ellen working on their moves while Kristen, the seminar leader, watches.
I was one of the three dogs chosen to show off their choreography at the end of the seminar. Everyone admired my beautiful movement and elegance. Unfortunately, even though Barbara had her video camera with her, she forgot to ask anyone to film us! I am so annoyed because I did my piece very well and we got lots of compliments.
Kristen is a wonderful teacher and she gave us a lot of good advice for our practices.
Our Carolina Canine Freestyle Guild worked hard to put on the seminar and all the participants, people and dogs, had a great experience. Here are the Guild members with Kristen.
Canine Freestyle shows off the joyful relationship between dog and handler. You can see great routines at the Hall of Fame on the CFF website.
Barbara and I have a lot more practicing to do because we are going to enter a competition in July.

Dear Niamh,
All we have to do is close our eyes and imagine how beautifully you moved and how very much everyone admired you. Such beauty, such style!
Your Friends,
Tom and Tama-Chan
Oh Niamh it looks like you and your friends have a pawsome time at your class. We is sad we cannot see your video because me and mum would like to do this someday. Our monday night class is an advance/freestyle one.

I bet Ambrose was really jealous, because you got to have all the fun and treats that day. He must have also been very proud to have a superstar like you as a big sister!
Ya Niamh you are doing such a good job. We are so proud of you. We know you will do great in July..

Stop by my blog sometime, Niamh. I have an award for you!
Hi Niamh! How cool that you got to work on your dancing moves with all those nice people and dogs. I'm sure you'll do great in July!
See ya!

OH Niamh, how exciting!! I wish I could have come along! I have never been to a freestyle workshop - we're so far in New Zealand that nobody comes out to visit us! My human has to just make things up and teach herself and me!
I wish you got a video too - I would have SO loved to watch you in action!
Have to say, I don't think I will be learning that trick of standing on my human's feet...think I would just squash them!! Hee! hee!
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
Wow, you're a very clever dog Niamh!
Licks and wags

Ok.... Niamh, we have to admit...., you, Ambrose and Barbara... what a pawfect and cute family!!! What can we ask more? We just LOVE looking at your photos!

Ms. Alpha went to Dog Days and saw just about every demonstrations possible. The Freestyle was the hit of the show and she's going to start using her iPod to add some rhythm to our obedience practices. Maybe someday you and I can enter Dancing With the Stars!!! Goodness knows we are both stars already!
PS: Ms. Alpha was really impressed with a move that one dancer did. She had cane with her—a prop. She and her Aussie would dance around it. Then, she got the Aussie to wrap his front paw around it and hold it in place against his chest. Then she danced around it! That move got a huge round of applause.
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes...

Wow, you are one talented dog. We do lots of fun stuff, but we can't dance.
Oh boy! Momma says if I work hard at my obedience I can do freestyle just like you. My brother has some moves, but I am a much faster learner.
I am getting better, but obedience school makes me more tired than agilities. Momma says because I use my brain more.
Kisses,
Dexter
