Does anyone have their dogs in fly ball or agility classes or something called dock dogs (something like that)?

I've done Agility with my dog Skipper and although he's just a year old, he loved it! I will definitely continue because it's fun and challenging and improves the communication between dog and handler. I'd also like to try dock diving.

Flyball looks pretty intense, and I think they work in teams. A lot of people I know do agility--everything from cavaliers to greyhounds to mastiffs! Any type of dog can do it, and it sounds like good time to spend with your pet. My dog was almost too lazy to make it through basic training, so I've never looked into more classes for her!

My sister did some agility with her dog. I have always wanted to do dock diving with one of mine but because it's such a small sport there aren't many opportunities to join groups. For now all he does is sail off of rocks at the lake.

Agility. We had a Skye Terrier in Agility. It was so much fun--we even built a course in our back yard.

Agility! I avoid Flyball since it's probably the one sport that causes more injuries in dogs.
