Canine Freestyle
Carolyn Scott and Rookie

Canine Freestyle is a dog sport in which training, teamwork, music, and movement combine to create an artistic, choreographed performance highlighting the canine partner in a manner that celebrates the unique qualities of each individual dog.  It is built upon the foundation of a positive working relationship between a dog and handler team. - Definition of the Musical Dog Sport Association

Freestyle is fun for all dogs of different ages and breeds. It is also wonderful form of entertainment for friends, family, schools, churches, hospitals and nursing homes.


Carolyn Scott has enjoyed training and showing dogs for the past 30 years.  In addition to her current partners, Golden Retrievers Rookie and Maverick plus Zita a Standard Poodle, Carolyn has trained and shown a variety of breeds including a Chow, a Doberman and two Shepherds.

Rookie and Carolyn are true ambassadors for the sport of Canine Freestyle. Carolyn and Rookie have traveled extensively presenting freestyle seminars and promoting this "fun" sport across the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Norway and the UK.
