The tasks & tricks we can teach our dogs to perform through clear, fun communication are basically limitless. In inclusion to going for walks, enjoying car rides, or even going on a nice camping trip, there are many different sports we can try with our dogs. Whether your dog is extraordinarily active or just likes to do fun tricks for treats, you’re almost certain to find a sport you both enjoy.

There are a wide variety of dog sports to choose from your dogs. When making your choice, think about your dog’s skill set, heritage & activity level, as well as the amount of time you have to devote to training.

Dog sport Rally

Rally is a fun sport based game on obedience. You and your dog navigate a course, side-by-side, step by step as you steer him through 10-20 different signs. Each of these signs provides command regarding the next skill that is to be performed. You and your dog will earn many points for completing the exercises correctly. The exercises and skill levels are similar to those in obedience for dog. Rally is a very fun sport that challenges your dog’s brain and body & you are likely to find that your dog loves training for it.

 Obedience

Obedience might sound like the mundane work you do with your dogs or new pets, but it can actually be a lot of fun and very competitive sport. Obedience work helps your dog become a better member of society and it allows him to get mental & physical exercise. Exercises include sit, stand, come when called, retrieve, jumping over hurdles, and more!

Agility

Agility is a very exciting sport that showcases what our dog is capable of. The fast-paced sport requires that dogs work their minds & bodies at a fast pace. Agility training is a lot of fun for dogs that love learning different tricks and being active, & any dog breed is welcome to try it out. Even if you don’t want to be the next championship team, you can go out & have fun with your dogs in the field. The agility course includes a wide range of hurdles, and when trained properly with positive reinforcement, dogs typically can’t wait for agility class.

Coursing Ability Tests

You want an easy, low-stress way to get involved in the world of dog sports? You can start with a Coursing Ability Test (CAT) because it is designed specifically for newcomers. If your dog likes chasing things, playing games & running, this sport is a great way for her to get out and stretch her legs. There’s really no training involved in this; just head out to the next test near you & see if your dog enjoys it. Don’t worry about being judged: your dogs only earn a pass/fail, & the maximum time is not meant to be difficult to achieve. Yes, your dog will need to run and play, not walk, to earn a passing grade. But even if he doesn’t do his best, just don’t worry! Think of it as a fun day out for both of you to meet other dogs and dog lovers….

Scent Work

Well scent Work is one of the most new sports, and it’s based on our dogs’ incredible sense of smell. A dog’s nose is roughly one million times more sensitive than ours, and we’ve been using dogs to locate & follow scents for many years. Hunting dog will find quarry; search and rescue dog find lost victims; law enforcement & military working dogs find drugs, weapons, and explosives. Some dogs are even used to locate cancers and other illnesses in humans. In so many dog sports the handler is in control but this isn’t true in Scent Work sport. Neither the dog nor handler knows where the target is hidden. The handler has to rely on the dog & follow the dog’s nose to success.
