Extraordinary Dog Training!

I recently had the privilege of interviewing Patti Ventre, the founder of the WCFO, Inc (World Canine Freestyle Organization). You may have seen her on the recent Animal Planet "dancing with dogs" special. Musical Freestyle allows you to dance with your dog to choreographed moves.

To learn more about the organization, check out www.worldcaninefreestyle.org and listen to my most recent Pet Peeves radio show at www.petliferadio.com (click on the Pet Peeves logo and browse for those shows that tickle your fancy--or make you hiss and growl!).

Dancing with your dog takes incredible patience, dedication and love between the owner and his or her furry partner. I've taught my cat Seren to sit, sit up, come when called, walk on a leash, wave...and although she's not into dancing, she does have her graceful moves.

If you think it's tough to get a reliable "sit" with your pets, you'll be amazed at the exploits of this "mighty mouse." Enjoy!
