my dog buster specialised in jumping in visitors cars ( with open windows ) and removing any loose objects. she also would eat poop from the kitties while they were taking a dump and barking to make them go faster. r i p buster.

I agree w/ Amber. Agility is always fun to watch and the dogs seem to enjoy it so much.

And Lure Coursing is NOT for purebreds only (nor should anything be, IMHO). My 2 year old boxer/pit/? mutt tried it for the first time last year and was PHENOMENAL.

Personally I think “Free Style” is more for the owners than it is for the dog. Plus, dressing your dog up in clothes is a bit creepy.

All just my opinion, though.

I watched a pulling event at a local winter fest. I was surprised to see the pits pulling. These people are passionate about their dogs. I took my grandson to an agility event, it covered two days, at a local state park. My grandson, who is afraid of dogs, loved it and even got to frolic with some pups.

Any info on pulling and upcoming events would be appreciated, especially in the southeastern states.

All of these sports are excellent, but you forgot my favorite. AGILITY!

It’s just a big obstacle course for dogs. You guide them through tunnels and hoops, and over planks and hurdles. It’s pretty much the funnest thing ever.
