Paws-Abilities Canine Drill Team

Our Canine Drill Team was started by our trainer in December of 2007. We work on obedience skit routines set to music. Their first year they trained for and performed to the song Bad Bad Leroy Brown. Currently we have 5 members/teams. Our trainer Kristi Rush works with a Golden Retriever named Lugnut. We also have MaryAnne and Barney, Cindy and Josh, Mackinsey and Duchess, and Linda with Lucy.

We are working on a brand new routine and have (human) Line Dance instructors coming to teach us left footed humans how to do the Watermelon Crawl. Once we have perfected (hahaha) this we will begin to incorporate the dogs into this routine. We have already taught them how to spin around, drop down, do a *Dosi doo* and how to crawl so we have a good headstart on developing a really fun routine to perform at events, grade schools and nursing homes.

We are always looking for new members who are able to commit to one hour a week for practice and be available to perform at our events. We have a lot of fun with this, it helps to develop a better bond with our dogs and expands on their training in a fun way.
