I've been working with Sasha (my rescue German Shepherd) in obedience. We started with basic ("Family Dog") obedience classes, moved into "Canine Good Citizen", and have gone on into "(Beginning) Rally" and practicing more traditional obedience ("Beginning Novice") as well. We've also started working on something called Nosework - once I get a better handle on that, I'm planning to write about it.
But for the last 2 weeks, we've attended a new class - "Introduction to Agility."
From Wikipedia:
Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. Dogs run off-leash with no food or toys as incentives, and the handler can touch neither dog nor obstacles. Consequently the handler's controls are limited to voice, movement, and various body signals, requiring exceptional training of the animal and coordination of the handler.
