I recently had some pretty extensive dental work done, and while I was looped out on the pain meds, I got to thinking about my dogs and all the stuff I expect them to know. They all do more than just one sport, and I was wondering what everyone else here does with their muttlings.
For instance, my Toni is currently working on Mondio Brevet, Flyball, agility, and Rally. Caterina is doing Rally and agility. Drift is doing agility, Rally, and therapy dog work. Tyra is dock diving, Rally, therapy dog work, and will be looking into disc dogs in the spring. (Not too bad for an unemployed housefrau, huh??)
My dogs have no problems going from one sport to another and know what is expected of them wherever we end up.
So, what do you have your dogs doing, and do you ever have problems going from one sport to another?
Kipp does Wilderness SAR and stockwork with no issues switching back and forth. He was started on sheep before I got him, but then when I started SAR with him I put that on hold for a couple years until his search work was solid.
Put the bell collar on him, tell him to search and he ignores the sheep. I'll set up searches throught the sheep pasture (which is 40 acres with varied terrian, scrub trees, tall grass) and he stays on task searching.
