World Canine Freestyle Organization

World Canine Freestyle Organization WCFO, INC. is a non-profit corporation, founded to globally promote the joys and fun of responsible pet ownership through musical canine freestyle,

The World Canine Freestyle Organization defines canine freestyle as follows:

"Musical Freestyle is a choreographed musical program performed by handlers and their dogs. The object of musical freestyle is to display the dog and handler in a creative, innovative and original dance, using music and intricate movements to showcase teamwork, artistry, costuming, athleticism and style in in

terpreting the theme of the music. Heelwork-to-Music incorporates traditional dog obedience and the art of dressage with the inclusion of musical interpretation, dance elements, and costuming with an emphasis on non-standard obedience movements. Both Musical Freestyle and Heelwork-To-Music routines should create a visually exciting display which is enjoyable to watch and which is equally enjoyable to dogs and handlers executing the programs. Canine freestyle is a showcase that truly demonstrates the joys and fun of bonding with your pet."

I have been keeping the titling records and sending out title certificates to all our WCFO members. I just sent out over 50 new titles this past weekend. Congratulations to all who have worked hard and earned your well-deserved title! Freestyle is not always easy to perform, but the fun and bond you have with your dogs show through.

I also want to thank all the clubs that offer us the opportunity to perform live and by video, your hard work and dedication to WCFO and its members is well appreciated.

On that note: I have sent out all the WCFO Title Certificates ending December 8, 2025

Please let me know if I missed anyone:

and again a Big Congratulations to all!

Anna
