Freestyle

More Than a Game. It’s a Performance!

Freestyle is the artistic and athletic heart of disc dog sports. It's where creativity meets precision, showcasing the incredible bond between dog and handler through a choreographed routine set to music. 


Freestyle is a timed performance where the handler and dog perform a series of disc throws, tricks, and athletic maneuvers. The routine is designed to highlight the dog's agility, catching skills, and showmanship, as well as the handler’s disc control, flow, and overall creativity.
