Seven years ago, we started a program combining obedience with some freestyle moves. This has proven to be a very exciting and motivating class for dogs.
To see Heelwork to Music is obedience in action, check out this link:
SouthPaw Training is opening up a new way for dogs and owners to enjoy having fun with obedience. Heelwork to Music is taking obedience and freestyle step and applying them to a format, using music to motivate the dogs.
SouthPaw Training found in 2009 when we designed the first synchronized rally courses and a snaking course and then applied them to music. The dogs went to a different level of motivation. Their enjoyment level went sky rocket high and they were having more fun than their owners and the 4H children. SouthPaw Training has done several presentations using the synchronized rally and the snaking course with music and has had an amazing response.
SouthPaw Training and would like to invite you to check it out. The training is all motivational and uses clicker training, which will be taught in the first class. In each class, we'll be working on the basic steps working up to a format using music. Each student will be encouraged to bring food and a favorite toy to motivate your dog to have fun!
