How can one improve the pet human relationship ? There are some creative developments in this area. New and exciting ways to interact with your dog may include agility training, disc handling competition, dog sledding and this one, which I find really interesting: canine freestyle. Ever heard of it?

It involves a choreographed performance, complete with music! The main emphasis is on the dog, with the human providing verbal cues and body language to enhance this interspecies dance. I think it sounds intriguing!

But of course you can interact creatively with cats, pocket pets and horses as well. My mother even made friends with a mocking bird when we were children! When you think about it, we are all on this planet together; it makes sense that animals and humans should have more than a mere passing relationship.
