Dream Activities
Obedience Training
Start with the basics (sit, stay, down, and heel),
but don't be afraid to move on to higher levels
that allow you to compete in obedience
competitions.
Rally
Rally is essentially an obstacle course for dogs
and owners that is taken at a walk rather than a
run. This is a great way to practice obedience
work while both you and your dog have a great
time!
Agility
Agility is an obstacle course for the dog that is completed
as fast as possible with constant direction from the
owner. Cattle Dogs love agility work, and several
organizations around the Bay Area offer this class.

Concerned about dog
parks and how your dog
will fit in? Cattledog
Dreams Director, Jennifer
Andersen, can help
introduce you to parks in
your area and give you
some pointers to help
keep your dog safe while
he or she has fun.
Herding
Cattle Dogs are natural herders, but they need
training to make the most of their instincts, and
they need something to herd! There are a
couple of facilities in the Bay Area that offer this
assistance.

of spending time with YOU. Their world revolves
around their family, so pick an interactive sport
