I knew that would MRL's answer!
My favorite dog sport is the one that makes my dog happy! I've only had 1 class in Agility and 1 class in Nose Work but I plan to continue both. I love seeing Kaiser's confidence come out in Agility when he really gets it. And he gets to run around I like Nose Work because it uses the dog's brain and natural sense of smell. It's great for reactive dogs or dogs that can't run and jump.

I just started training Mauser in schutzhund. From what little I've seen it does agility along with tracking. We have been training a couple of months now and his confidence level has increased along with a tighter bond between him and I. The the goal is sch3 rating but it's fun just to get out and work with my dog.

I love to watch a good cattle dog work cattle / sheep. To see them work it out on their own is so cool to witness.

No surprise here- agility! It is a confidence booster; it physically and mentally stimulates my dog and me; it is technical with many, many things to learn; it is both challenging and fun; it is competitive; and it builds my bond with my dog unlike anything else I've ever done. I altogether love it and am hooked! Not to mention my dog is good at it and seems to very much enjoy it.

My favorite dog sport is Schutzhund....I really appreciate the tradition and how intertwined it is with what a GSD is/should be.
Herding is something I aspire to, but owning sheep is a stretch at present (although I have plans).....I really appreciate the heritage and where the GSD comes from. Not a sport, but something I would aspire to as well is SAR. To me, this is the most noble level of training for the most exceptional dog....and handler/trainer. I started back in 1997 in Agility, and although its been years....I love it, the dogs love it...what is not to love about agility????? I miss it, and plan on getting Indy involved after we have achieved some SchH objectives.
