To get out of the traditional Sunday walk , a lot of other activities for dogs are developing. And it's even better when you can practice them as a duo. Here are 3 great activity ideas to try with your dog.

The arrhythmia, to dance with his dog

Oberthythmy is a training activity based on obedience in rhythm and music . The goal: to realize with his dog , a choreography of free figures of a few minutes. An activity to test urgently if you like to dance and if you already have in hand the basic orders of dog training ("lying down, sitting, standing, not moving"). The National Commission for Education and Dog Activities offers introductory courses. If one prefers to put his side in the garden for example, many videos are available on Youtube . And for the most expert of dogs and masters, there are even competitions of achérde.

The doga, to teach his dog the position of the lotus

"Doga" is the contraction of the word "dog" and yoga . And as its name suggests, the purpose of this activity is simple: it involves performing yoga postures with his faithful companion. This activity is intended for people who like this practice. But be careful, it's not easy to hold your dog in place during a doga session. Indeed, he will grow impatient and will surely try to save himself. Still, the goal is to have a Zen time with him. The best is therefore to call a professional to get started. There are still few teachers in France (Dominique Jorly in Saint-Jean-de-Luz for example) but videos tutorials on Youtube .

The flyball, to make his dog run away (without us!)

Flyball is a nomadic and economic dog sport, these are its two main advantages. Indeed, once the equipment purchased (a box-launcher equipped with a pedal that, once actuated, triggers the sending of a ball that the dog must catch up), we can practice flyball wherever there is a little space, in a garden or a field for example. This canine activity also exists in hedge jumping and team sports. To order a flyball box, go to www.dog-sports.com (34,90 €).
