September Theme
Back to (Old) School is our theme of the month, with a focus on Throw Diversity and Difficulty for our theme winners! What falls into that category?
Handler rarely repeats the same grip/release
Handler integrates difficult releases/grips into their routine
Handler delivers difficult throws at various distances to their dogs (For example: All long tosses should not be backhands.)
This month is a performance round!
Start thinking.. theme, music, unique tricks, big moves, crowd appeal, energy, creativity, costumes… the list is endless! But I’ve made a fun one below to help you get brainstorming:
Human costume
Unique & innovative moves
Dog costume (safety first!)
Human athleticism
Props
Crowd appeal
Themed Music
Humorous interludes
Special tricks
Entertainment Value
Big Tricks
(insert your cool ideas here!)
