Dog Sports
These are the different dog sports that we participate in.
 

Agility 

Agility is an obstacle course that the handler directs the dog through.  It is timed.
 
 
 

 
Conformation

Dogs are judged on their structure, gait and appearance.  They are judged against the breed standard of that organization.
 
 
 
 
 
Flyball 

In flyball the dogs go over 4 jumps and trigger a box to retrieve a ball and then carry the ball back over the jumps.  It is run relay style with 4 dogs running at a time. 
 
 
 
 
 
Obedience

Heeling, sit stay, down stay, recalls.
 
 
 
 
 
Protection 

The dog must obey the handler but also keep an eye on the "bad guy".
 
 
 
 
 
Tracking 

The dog follows a path that a person walked and shows us where that person dropped items.
 
 
 
 
 
Weight Pull 

Dogs pull a cart with increasing amounts of weight on it.
