Canine Freestyle Lessons in St. Charles, MO

Power Up Your Pup’s Freestyle!

Do you love watching musical freestyle routines and wish you could dance with your dog? We can help you go from simple tricks to a full routine ready for competition!

How can we help power up your pup?

Canine Musical Freestyle is one of the most entertaining dog sports. Through choreography of behaviors to music, you can create a routine that is fun for both you and your dog!

Canine Musical Freestyle incorporates heeling, tricks, and sometimes, elaborate behavior sequences into a dog sport where the dog has input into what they want to do. It can be fulfilling to both members of the team.

How it Works

After your initial contact, either by phone, email or the contact form, I will provide you with an option to pick a time for a free consultation that will normally last 15 to 20 minutes. We will discuss issues you want to cover, your dog’s history, and options for meeting, either at your location or in public.

Prices start at $950 for a 4 week package. Pay only $2,100 for all three packages!

We provide three training options. Building Behaviors is a 6 week package. Creating a Routine and Getting Trial Ready are 4 week packages.

  • Building Behaviors – working on heeling positions and foundation behaviors
  • Creating a Routine – working on putting it all together with music and costume
  • Getting Trial Ready – going into the ring, holding attention without treats, working around difficult distractions

Liz has provided many techniques and strategies to help me be a better teacher and dance partner to my dogs. When one strategy doesn’t seem to fit what I need after several attempts, Liz offers feedback or alternative options to get to the desired outcome. Strategies have included helping my dog overcome fearfulness of places and objects, starting with basic skills the dog can do and gradually building into more complex tasks (walking backward, leg weaves, back leg pivots on a step stand to name a few), identifying when my dog needs a break/rest, exercises to help with weak abdominal and rear leg muscles, and overall orientation into musical freestyle trial environments.
