Skijoring is a fun wintertime sport to enjoy with your dogs. It consists of a very brave skier
being pulled by harnessed dogs. It is a fun sport that is great exercise for both the skier and
the dogs.

Agility is lots of fun for both dog, handler and spectator.

Agility is a sport where the dog and handler work as a team to complete an obstacle course.
The course consists of challenging obstacles such as tunnels, jumps, A-frame, dogwalk, pause
table, tire jump, teeter and weave poles. Dogs earn titles as the advance through increasingly
difficult levels by accumulating qualifying rounds, or "Qs". The sport is a lot of fun for handler,
dog and spectators.

Canine musical freestyle is a fun sport that is growing in popularity. It is sometimes referred to
as 'dancing with dogs'. It entails the performance of a choreographed routine to music. It
incorporates obedience, tricks, rhythm and teamwork to produce a performance that is as fun
to perform as it is to watch.

I find musical freestyle is a lot of fun because it allows you to be as creative as you want and
showcase your individual dog's personality. Teaching the moves is also stress-free, fun and a
great way to build a terrific bond with your dog. The skills and working relationship developed
through musical freestyle are very useful in other dogsports, such as agility.
