Dog sports range all over the board, from just-for-fun to very complex and detailed competition level participation – or a combination of both! The nice thing about it is that you have so many choices! These 10 sports were specially selected as being well suited to a Golden Retriever’s characteristics and personality, but they’re equally suited to many other breeds of dogs, as well. Each sport is well explained to help you know more about it – how the sport began, what it’s all about, any requirements, competition guidelines, how to prepare, and how to get started. You can read all about these sports: dog agility, canine freestyle, canine good citizen, dock diving, dog shows, flyball, dog frisbee, dog obedience, rally obedience, and treibball.
