New !! Dances with Dogs at CDC

Dances with Dogs - is coming to Canberra and surrounds in August 2010

Introduction

Australia’s Dances with Dogs (DWD) is based on a canine sporting discipline developing overseas in the early 1990s.   The sport has become a well established and formally recognised competitive discipline in Great Britain, Canada, the United States, many countries in Europe, Japan and some other regions in Asia.

Modern Dances with Dogs is a very flexible sport, enabling competitors to exhibit innovative and creative moves which highlight the performance capabilities of dog and handler and, provide entertainment for the audience.

The handler chooses the music and choreographs a routine which is in time with and interpretive of the music.

The requirements to start in a DWD class are: you, your dog, a love of music, the desire to have a great time with your dog and a commitment to positive reward training!
