SPORTS & ACTIVITY GUIDE 2
For You and Your Dog

There is a wide variety of canine/human sports to choose from, but there are also many things to consider before making that choice. The first thing to think about is the purpose: fun, exercise or competition? If you already own a dog, you want to find an activity that fits BOTH of you. You may think, well I am just going to get my dog into Flyball, so why worry about me. YOU have to have the patience and skill to teach him.
