Question Canine Freestyle?

I bought a book and it's talks a little about it. Sounds really cool, wondering if anyone knows anything good sites about it? Or if anyone does it, talk about it please!

I'm a freestyle addict since two years. I have participated in two freestyle training classes and have done two competitions. Saffie, my border collie crossed with a dutch hunting breed, is my freestyle dog. Boy knows some easy tricks too.

I love learning Saffie new tricks, and find most of them easy to learn. Saturday we have our next competition, and I'm so nervous
We are just beginners, it's all about the fun. I hope someday we will accomplish something, but right now I just want to learn how to do a good routine. Saffie is doing great, but I'm having difficulty doing everyting (move myself, move my dog, pay attention to the music) at the same time.

I posted here earlier, but I think it got deleted or something?

Kai and I just started freestyle and it seems like so much fun! It's a lot less stressful than agility class for both of us. If your dog likes learning tricks, you will have a blast.

I'm not sure If I absolutely will be doing it, but It's something I'm really interested in. I'm thinking about going to watch a few demonstrations or competitions..If I can find any up where I live..

Sequoyah loves tricks, and knows quite a few - I have Carolyn Scott's tapes and a couple of Mary Ray's books, so..... you never know.
