Emily Pyle

Emily is from Houston, Texas and has been enjoying
freestyle with her miniature Dachshund, Henrietta
since 2003. When Henrietta was seven months old, Emily
was starting to run out of ideas to keep the nosey pup
out of trouble in a small apartment in California. An
obedience instructor suggested freestyle as a way to
improve focus and attention while releasing all that
energy. Emily reluctantly gave it a try, and was
subsequently completely and totally hooked. Emily
loves the training challenges and the creative aspects
of freestyle; Henrietta lives for the food, the
twisting, and the applause. However, they both agree
the best part of the sport is the many friends they've
made along the way.

Emily is also keeping her fingers crossed that
freestyle will also keep the newest addition - Olivia
the Border Collie puppy - out of trouble. Although
this is proving to be a bit of a challenge!
