Dog sports

Dog sports are games and activities that dogs and their owners can play together to have fun and keep fit. There are many different kinds of dog sports, like obedience competitions, agility courses, and flyball races.

In obedience competitions, dogs have to follow commands from their owners, like "sit," "stay," and "come." They are judged on how well they listen and follow instructions.

In agility courses, dogs have to run through an obstacle course with jumps, tunnels, and weave poles. They race against the clock, and the fastest and most accurate dog wins.

In flyball races, dogs run down a course, jumping over hurdles to retrieve a ball and bring it back to their owners. It's like a relay race, with teams of dogs competing against each other.

There are many other dog sports as well, like dock diving, freestyle dancing, and scent work. These sports are a great way for dogs and their owners to bond and have fun, while getting exercise and learning new skills.
