Team GB for Freestyle
I’m
excited to be part of Team GB for the first time representing them in the OEC
Freestyle Championships.
I
live, with Tyler my red and white Border Collie, in Cheshire along with Archie
my 5-year old Pyrenean Sheepdog and the newest addition to my dog team, Rio a
5-month old chocolate and white border collie.
I have been in the sport for 6 years and focus on competing in Freestyle
with both Tyler and Archie. Like me they
both love the sport.
I started Heelwork to
Music by chance at a club I attended where I originally intended to do
obedience training and competing at Crufts.
I noticed they did Heelwork to Music classes and thought I’d have a go. I was hooked and we’ve not looked back
since. I chose Freestyle because I love combining
training my dog to do great fun moves together with the creative challenge of
choreographing a story to music.
It is amazing to
think I have gone from watching those I admire in the sport to being mentored,
encouraged and trained by them. It has
been a joy and I have enormous respect for all those in the sport who have made
me so welcome.

I am now in the
wonderful position of welcoming and training others who want to enjoy and
experience this fun sport with their dogs.
