What are you doing with your dog? - Page 4

GSDElsa · 08-11-2011, 04:31 PM

Elsa:
- Rally, OB
- Agility
- SAR
- Attempted SchH...she washed out due to her lack of "enthusiam" for protection work

Medo:
- Lure coursing (

-- controversy and all!)
- SAR #1 priority
- OB
- SchH or French Ring.....depending on how the SAR stuff comes along, will also do one of these sports. Train mostly at a French Ring club now, but love SchH and go out there a lot too. Right now just working on developing his grip and not on where to bite so I could go either direction right now.

Apache & Kiya companion only
I would like to do more with Lakota. We haven't gotten past the obedience part yet so one day I hope to at least do an obedience or rally event. Until she gets the obedience part down I can forget about agility.

I want to try Schutzhund with my boy. I'm not sure whether or not he's the 'type' for it, but I'm going to get an evaluation and find out! Oh yeah, but another problem is I cannot find a club near me.

i picked companion but being a good
companion entails a lot.

cassadee7 · 08-16-2011, 02:08 AM

competitive obedience (AKC)
tracking (AKC)
dock diving (DockDogs)

also took agility for fun, might take it again. May take a nosework class this fall. Also want to try herding.

Sure does and it's IMHO the most important job they have!

Mason does therapy work. I compete with him in agility and dock diving, and he should be titled in both by the end of the year.
For fun, we do flyball (hopefully may compete someday!), nosework, and will be getting into herding next summer. I have also thought about getting into rally with him, but haven't had the extra time as I am kept busy between agility and dock diving.

Ivy, she is not only a companion, but a wonderful hiking buddy and much more! I don't compete with her in anything as she has very bad hips.

Seven people voted that their dog is trained in Personal Protection.

I'm curious as to what people consider Personal Protection training?
