Karen Pryor Academy is pleased announce
the opening of Canine Freestyle 1!

Canine Freestyle I is for anyone interested in, or already
active in, the sport of canine freestyle.

Student will learn:

* foundation skills upon which new freestyle behaviors (moves) can be built
* to train a repertoire of freestyle moves, including performance heeling,
through step-by-step instructions, video demonstrations, and detailed exercise packets
* to train "clean," and give clear, consistent cues
* to select and edit music for routines
* to put it all together, choreographing competition-ready routines

Enroll anytime, begin anytime. Learn at your own pace. No travel or lodging expenses. The course is designed and taught by freestyle champion Michele Pouliot . Michele, with her dogs Cabo and Listo, are the winners of multiple national and international free style competitions, most recently the 2009 World Canine Freestyle Organization (WCFO) International Competition in Oklahoma, where three judges awarded perfect 10's. Michele also won the 2008 Nationals and both the 2007 and 2008 WCFO International Pro Stars. Michele was awarded the Attila Challenge trophies for highest Artistic and Technical scores each year. In November 2008, Michele and Listo made WCFO history by being the first team to receive perfect "10s"for both Artistic and Technical scores in the new Championship division of Perfect Dance Partners.

There are special tuition rates available for groups and for members of most major freestyle organizations. For additional information on curriculum, tuition, and enrollment, please visit the Academy website , http://karenpryoracademy.com/cfs .

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

A very cool website about a "change of career" service dog
click here!

One of my Puppy Prodigies pups that was slated to be a service dog/breeder has too much prey drive, so had to have a career change. She's now doing fundraising for charitable causes through a program called "Surfin' for Paws-abilities" Although she's not able to be a service dog, we still want her to make a difference in people's lives. This touching video shows her current project and we're hoping it can bring inspiration to those that see it. Feel free to pass the video on... we'd love to "pay it forward." Another great video clip of Riki:

BEHAVIOR 101 LECTURE SERIES

Our instructors set aside time in every class to answer behavior questions. But many of our students want to know more! For this reason we offer our Behavior 101 Lectures three Fridays per month to answer your pressing behavior questions in depth.
