Just curious about what everyone else here does You can make multiple selections/more than one choice. I think this would make an interesting survey!

I'm in the midst of exploring several different dog sports to try to determine what would be the best fit for me and Dante. Schutzhund and competition obedience are topping my list now, and i'm thinking of doing fun agility on the side as well | |

| I'm thinking of Rally obedience and/or agility with Casper. I'd like to get obedience titles on him but I'm not sure I'll be a dedicated enough trainer

| Sadly nothing at this time  I am nursing a foot injury. Thankfully Copper is not a real energetic boy (we are getting his thyroid tested just in case) but I would really LOVE to take him hiking.

 | We do a lot of obedience but are not in competitive obedience at this time. I'm hoping to do Rally in the future. And once he passes his TDI test next month, we will start our therapy work | |

| | Alpha | In addition to schutzhund (which is no big revelation to anyone who has ever read more than one of my posts), I also marked "other".
I don't know if it counts as an official activity, but I am very active in any type of public relations endeavors. Our schutzhund club holds little public demos from time to time, and I am ALWAYS present with my dogs as an ambassador for both the sport as well as our breed. I almost go out of my way to exploit every narrow window of opportunity to educate people on the breed, specifically as it relates to their original intended function. | |
