One of the highlights of a heelwork to music (HTM) competitor's career is the opportunity to compete in front of an audience of thousands at Crufts.
Each year Crufts hosts the finals of both heelwork to music and freestyle competitions. All 'advanced' level dogs and handlers can qualify for Crufts by entering one or more of a series of qualifying events held throughout the year.
Heelwork to music – 1st judge Ms A Lowe
Heelwork to music – 2nd judge Ms K Lyddon
Heelwork to music – 3rd judge Ms J Allanach (Denmark)
