Dog training doesn't have to be limited to just training. There are many sports that are designed specifically for four-legged friends and their owners.
These types of sports help to diversify training and make time spent with your pet even more interesting and exciting.
Agility
Agility can be called the most popular sport for dogs, which requires our four-legged friends to be agile, endurance and quickly overcome obstacles.
This sport is suitable for most breeds and involves completing an obstacle course without mistakes and in a minimum amount of time. The owner's task is to help the dog with commands or gestures, guiding it and helping it navigate.
Frisbee
Dog Frisbee is a sport in which a dog must catch special plates with its teeth.
There are two types of dog frisbee: mini-distance, where the dog must catch the disc as far away from the owner as possible, and frisbee freestyle, where the dog and its owner perform various tricks to music to amaze the audience.
Herding breeds and small greyhounds are best suited to handling Frisbees.
Coursing
In short, coursing is nothing more than running after a lure (usually a mechanical hare) that makes sharp turns while moving.
The dog must react to these turns and not lag behind the bait. This allows you to test not only the dog's speed, but also its maneuverability.
Almost all dog breeds can participate in the sport of coursing.
Previously, we talked about the dog breeds that are considered the most dangerous.
