Top Sporting Events for Dogs 

Do you have a dog who has a lot of energy and loves to learn? Perhaps you are looking for an activity or sport that they can participate in! There are several events that your dog can be a part of. Below is a list of structured and fun activities you can enjoy with your four-legged friend.

Dock Diving is a newer sport where the dog runs to the end of the dock and then dives into the water. Also known as “Big Air,” dogs can make a huge leap into the air when jumping off the deck and into the water. Your dog will need to be comfortable with water if they want to participate in this sport. The good news is that it is easy to train your dog once you have the necessary equipment. Dock Diving is considered a high-energy sport that will give your dog plenty of hours of fun!

Flyball includes a series of jumps incorporating a flyball box. The dog jumps onto a spring-loaded box, and a ball is released. The dog’s objective is to jump up and catch the ball. One of the most exciting things about flyball is that every dog must be able to jump on the box while securing the ball and running back to the starting point.

The Canine Good Citizen Program (CGC) is an event that is open to all dogs. It is a certification that is available for all well-behaved dogs and trained. The good news about the CGC is that dog owners can use this certification as a foundation to get their dogs into other things like advanced agility training or therapy dog training.
