What are you doing with your dog?

Thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is doing with their dogs after reading another thread. You can pick more than one answer.

Stark

Schutzhund (Tracking only for the past few months)
Herding
Agility (winter months only)

Zefra

Schutzhund
Herding (when she is a tad older)
Agility (winter months only)
Rally-O/Obedience

We do other things for fun such as dock diving and I hope to add lure coursing as well, I am also hoping to find a fly-ball class for Zefra to join.

So far my votes are just hopes. Our goal is to have her trained as a therapy dog. Think it would be awesome and a great job for her. We will see how she does in the coming months with her next set of classes and her CGC training. The trainer said so far she seems to be a great candidate as long as we can reign in all the extra energy, she is way over the top high energy. Agility starts on 8/27 and I think she will go great. This is our first GSD so I am sure we will dabble in some other things as well but right now these are our serious goals.

I voted and indicated I do Schutzhund. And for the record, anyone who can do Schutzhund AND other work/sport activities are superhuman in my view! Bravo!
