K9 Agility
I kinda wonder if my husky would be good at that. Before I moved, she would tear ass through the backyard around all the crap I kept out there like an obstacle course.
I'd probably have a harder time keeping up with her than her doing all those jukes and doing the course lol
It's definitely worth the shot. Many agility trainers will do an evaluation with the owner and the dog to see how well they would react on a course.
You'd ideally want to have a near perfect recall, as well as being able to command from a distance. If you could do both then it will be easy for your dog to learn the obstacles.
There are quite a lot of videos of high end competitions and theirs at least one of every breed.
