I wonder if any of the dog owners here are into agility or other dog sports?
Agility is the only kind of sports I really like, I work with my dog every day and have made a parcours in the backyard for training :)

Does anyone else like dog sports?

I'm very interested in getting into dog sports with my German Shepherd. We have a pretty nice facility here for it. My dog is only 4 months old right now though.

I enjoy going to see the Wonderdogs perform at the PNE at the end of every summer. I like to see the athletic ability of those dogs, as they perform. They do it so fast, man! It's really something to see. :)

My dog is extremely stubborn and doesn't do what I ask. Everytime I throw a ball or frisbee she just sniffs it and walks away. :(

German Shepards are one of my favorite dogs. Dobies(Dobermans) will always be my fave though :D

She doesn't like chasing stuff? Maybe she has a weak prey drive. That can be a good thing. I was walking with my dog outside in the fall and the wind blew the leaves and I was like oh crap. He was gone, chasing the leaves.

GSD's have been my favourite since I was a kid. Great personality and looks. I might get another dog in a year or two and a Doberman is one of my top choices.
