Here are some freestyle and heelwork to music moves you can learn to do with your dog.
Heel Position
-
means that the dog shall be straight in line with the direction the handler
is facing, at the handler's left or right side, and as close as practicable
to the handler's leg without crowding, permitting the handler freedom of
motion at all times.
Turns
-There
are a wide variety of turns depending on the direction in which the dog and
handler turn relative to each other. Heel position should be maintained
throughout if the maneuver allows.
Pivots
-A
pivot is a turn in place with the dog in heel position (right or left).
Frontwork
-THe
dog whether stationary or in motion, should be facing the handler, body
straight and centered on the handler. The dog should not interfere with the
handler and may be any distance from the handler.
Lateral Work
-The
direction of the movement (right or left) is judged relative to the dog.
Side Pass-Dog
in heel position (right or left) or in front. Dog and handler move together
directly to the right or left. Dog's body should remain straight, with the
hindquarters directly behind the forequarters. Neither handler nor dog
should interfere with the other.
Diagonal Pass
-Dog
and handler together move at an angle distinct from the direction the
handler is facing and distinctly different from a Side Pass.
Distance Work
-Dog
and handler separated by a minimum of six (6) feet.
Pace Changes
-Pace
changes may be exhibited by the dog during any type of movement.
