Every year at Crufts, the UK’s largest dog show, canines and their people can participate in all manner of exciting competitions. Whether heelwork-to-music (essentially dancing with dogs) or obedience, or the high-speed relay races of flyball, it can be a marvellous feast of fun for performance dogs.
Of course, the reality is that most companion dogs will never enter the dog show ring – what they need to learn are the skills for everyday life.
