Teaching your dog tricks or getting involved in dog sports are two great ways to bond with your dog and to ensure that he is getting the physical and mental stimulation he needs.
Tricks are fun and easy to teach using positive training methods, and they are sure to impress when you have guests over. You can even teach your dog to wave hello!
Dog sports have something for everyone. Regardless of your dog’s breed, age, and what his motivations are, you can certainly find a dog sport that works for you. Dog sports range from fast-paced sports like agility and flyball to more thinking-oriented sports like canine freestyle and scent work, so you do not have to have a particular type of dog to participate in a dog sport.
No matter where you live or what your experience level is, there is most certainly a dog sport near you. Take the first step and learn more about dog sports and tricks!
