Beats Per Minute Calculators

Getting music at the right speed for your dog is very important, particularly for Musical Dressage and Heelwork to Music. Annie Clayton’s article on the Metronome explains how to calculate your dog’s speed.

To help with calculating the speed of the music you want to use here are 3 useful tools.

On Screen BPM Counter

You can use this simple counter to estimate the BPM of any piece of music. Click in the Timing Taps box, and then just tap your spacebar (or any other key) in time with the music. To start again, just pause for at least 2 seconds and continue tapping.

BPM Database Search

The data base has a range of tracks with details of BPM. You will get the best results by searching for a range, such as 125-130.

The results will show details of album, artist, and title for all tracks found.

If you would like to add information to this data base, or if you have any queries, please contact us.
