Mission Statement

Dogs Can Dance Challenge,TM a division of Dogs Can Dance® was founded to promote the art and sport of canine freestyle, worldwide, by offering musical canine freestyle titling opportunities.

The premise of the Dogs Can Dance Challenge™ is based on the following concept; each performance should honor and showcase the dog by emphasizing the beauty and grace of the dog's natural movements in a manner reflective of the musicality of the chosen accompaniment. Each routine is a tribute to and demonstration of the teamwork and relationship between the dog and handler.

The Dogs Can Dance Challenge™ goal is to encourage training of dogs at all stages of their lives and further educate the handlers toward future success.
