Dog dancing officially became a competitive sport back in 1989. It was made popular by creative dog obedience trainers who also had a love for music. Canine freestyle dog dancing can be defined as dancing with dogs to music. It is a choreographed dance routine performed by a human and dog together. If you would like to try it, here are the steps:
1. Select the musical composition you would like to dance to. Pick something that you really like because you're going to hear it a lot. It could be a classical tune, country western, hip hop, etc.
2. Take the music, and design steps and movements for both you and your dog, that will go with that piece of music.
3. Practice these steps with your dog. Many of these steps utilize obedience steps your dog has already learned. If they are not already trained, this will take longer.
The really important thing here is to have fun and spend time together. If you or your dog are not having fun at any point, take a break from the training.
