“Kay’s RallyFree Fundamentals and her Introducing Musical Freestyle courses have been just what Pan and I needed to get started and build the confidence to enter our first live event! Although he knows a lot of tricks and is great on leash, I didn’t have the skills to put them both together on my own. Kay’s ability to breakdown the RallyFree signs for me, have helped both Pan and I build our skills as a team. I’m really excited to get started with Musical Freestyle, and we are building our first routine! ”
