Agility
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
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.
