Sports & Activities for You & Your Dog: Lost Temple Fitness for Pets & People (Lost Temple Fitness for People & Pets) (Volume 2)

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. If you are looking to get a puppy and your goals are competition, I have suggested some breed types for each activity or sports that are breed specific. For example, you may have a border collie that loves to chase, but the AKC will only allow certain sight hounds to participate in lure coursing. On the other hand, a corgi may not be the best choice for agility, but that doesnt mean he wont win. Looking at breed types does not mean they will be sure winners, or even enjoy the sport, but it may give you some insight. For more information on breed types, see my first book in the series - What Was My Dog Bred to Do? Canine Breed Guide for Sports & Activities. This book covers sports and activities that are great for not only your dog, but YOU. Compiled is a list of over 30 dog sports and activities from Canicross to Schutzhund to help you and your companion get in shape.
