Obedience/Agility
My Obedience Class site is Hammond Dog Obedience Classes
I have taught the local obedience classes for more than 17 years, and trained and trialed dogs in every venue of the dog world for 28 years.
Aussies are very willing to please and are versatile in several areas. Listed below are some but not all the activities Aussies can excel in performing.
Below are some activities you and your Aussie can enjoy together.
(Most of these events your aussie can earn titles. For example in AKC, ASCA, NADAC, etc.)

Aussies have a lot of herding instinct as well, So those of you with herding breeds...can enjoy some herding as well with your dog. I can point you to some one who teaches herding if you like.
