Dogs: Leash or Muzzle?

Have you been watching Crufts?

Have you seen the dogs doing ‘doggy dancing’? Or to give its a more official title, ‘heel work to music’.

Obviously, your dog must have mastered basic obedience classes before the advanced stages of doggy dancing could be contemplated!

Also, to be a good dog for doggy dancing, your dog should have some basic agility skills too - like jumps and ability to walk backwards - not all dog breeds are able to walk backwards.

The combination of music and dog allows handlers to demonstrate their training skills and strong partnership. Training for heelwork and freestyle develops the dog both mentally and physically, and watching the dogs they seem to really enjoy it.

The handlers and the dogs both seem to have great fun with doggy dancing!
