Which sport to do?

[vanillasugar]

I'm interested in taking up some type of dog sport with Sierra, but I'm not sure what!

How do you know what your dog will best suit, or which one they will most enjoy? Do you have to try them all out? Or is there a better way to tell if she's got certain personality traits which will suit a certain sport better?

Well it depends greatly on you. Dogs love to play with their human, so what ever you think you will enjoy so will she. Its only if you want to hard core trial that it really matters. (and not even then )

I love agility cause its fun, stimulating, challenging and the atmosphere is so great! And all dogs are welcome.

Is there a training center near you that does dog sports? If there is I would call and ask if you could watch an agility class, a flyball class, a rally-o class, etc, so you can get an idea for what each sport really is.

Well Dekka does agility classes (don't you?) and there are flyball classes nearby too...

Who is doing flyball? (PM me if you want) I didn't know there was anyone near by (not that I have any desire to that particular sport..but if its a good club/person I will point people who ask in that direction)

And yes I do agility, starting to get calls for classes this spring. Must be the weather.
