What is Drill Team and Dance?
What brings together heelwork, tricks, music, a little high school nostalgia, and takes it all to a whole new level? K9 drill, display, and demonstration teams are not new, but as more of us are looking for different ways to showcase the rewards of positive training to the larger dog community, the concept of drill and demo teams is gathering steam.
The term “drill team” may evoke images of military marching routines (historically, military drill teams did occasionally include dogs), but today’s K9 drill and demo teams take many forms that involve dog/handler pairs. “We define it as a group of dog/handler teams, moving in unison to create a changing picture of shapes and lines, with or without music." The Drill team members are invited to local festivals, schools, and sports events. Practice happens at the school or local parks. If interested please call Darlene at 814-935-3347.
Day class Beginner Freestyle Dance is available and part of the Drill Team routine or as an individual class. A great way to express you and your dog's talents and teamwork.
