New York  Paws Over Niagara K9 Freestylers (Buffalo, NY)

CONTACTS:
Sandy Guzzetti
guzzetti@adelphia.net
Tel: (716) 439-4971

We are located in the Buffalo, New York area.

We actually got together after a reporter from the Buffalo Evening News contacted me and wanted to do an article on freestyle. I was just a freelancing beginner and tried to get him to contact someone with experience and all, but he was insistent on doing a local piece and tailored the article to also include the fact that we are looking for others in our area to start a club and bring the sport of freestyling to Western New York.

So....  he actually inspired the formation of our club and now I am actually giving freestyle lessons at an area Dog Academy to help others get started, and then this allows them an opportunity to meet the three of us (albeit beginners) that got the club off the ground. Once we are a bit more established, I’m going to give our reporter a call and see if he’s interested in what he started.  :o)

There are so many people wanting to try it out and play and dance, I didn’t realize we’ve started a monster I think. I’ve been developing and working on and using a curriculum to fit our 8 week set for our Exploring Freestyle sessions and the next session will be doing actual routines, choreography, music editing and addressing costuming. We have found a dance friend who is a great choreographer with a lot of fantastic suggestions and ideas to come in and give us a hand on what we can do to jazz up the human side of the partners, so we compliment our furry partner. It’s a long journey toward an actual routine, but we are well on our way and we all go home having had a great time with our very tired dance partners curled up asleep by our side.
