A new book from award-winning TFH Publications shows how anyone, at any level, can get started in the exciting new sport of Canine Freestyle: Dancing With Dogs: The Complete How-To and Troubleshooting Guide to Canine Freestyle ($19.95; ISBN: 978-0-7938-0673-7). Written by expert trainer Mary Ann Nester, Dancing With Dogs presents the basics of getting started in this hot new dog sport (also known as Musical Freestyle and Heelwork to Music) that combines obedience, tricks, dance, and enjoyment for both you and your dog. Step-by-step instructions help you and your dog build skills together, with an emphasis on areas of the sport that competitors most want clarified.
