Mary Ray Mary Ray is one of the leading dog trainers in the United Kingdom and is the only handler to have achieved such success in many different disciplines of dog training with the same dogs. She has been twice winner of the Crufts Obedience Championships, has qualified or won every major British dog agility competition and is the leading authority on Freestyle and Heelwork to Music, having started the sport in the United Kingdom in 1990. Mary is featured on British television on a regular basis and has instructed and/or judged throughout the world.
These video tapes have proved to be the best selling series of dog training videos available in the United Kingdom and they are also becoming increasingly popular throughout Europe, Asia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. In these videos, Mary explains in detail how successful results can be achieved using kind training methods, in particular toys, food and the clicker.
In these videos, Mary mainly uses her own brown and white Border Collies which vary in age from 21 months to 7 years. She also uses a rescue Sheltie called Gypsy who Mary was given when she was a very shy 14 months old bitch. The exercises in all these videos are explained in a very simple way, with Mary giving her thoughts in detail behind all the training methods used.
It is worth noting that in the United Kingdom, the household name for Freestyle is Heelwork to Music and although the term Freestyle is now being used as well, when the British talk about Heelwork to Music it can be read to mean what a lot of the rest of the world calls Freestyle - it is not just about heel work and close working.
