Hello, I have a 5 month old euro boxer pup who has LOTS of energy. i would love to compete him in some way. Any recommendations on a good one for him? I had considered agility but i w3anted to know what else there was.

I would start him off in a basic puppy class and go from there. Any type of training/competing, needs a solid obedience background. What ever you choose make sure you and him have fun

Agility is great, but he cannot be competing or running hard or jumping hard until he's at least 18-24 mo when his bones and joints get done growing. I am the same way- I have an American/ Euro cross and he is an energy spazz ALL the time. I'd love to take him biking or rollerblading but I just can't yet- because he isn't done growing and it will hurt their growth plates. Also, a rule of thumb on walking - 5 mins for how ever months they are, so he could safely walk for 25 mins at a time without damaging his joints.

Thank you Mgibs and Kari! He is currently in Obedience 1 and he will move on to the next level next month. Any good energy burners for his age?

Yes a little too young for hardcore running but when he is old enough....try Lure Coursing Events sponsored by AKC.

Also, a good old Chuck It works wonders!!!!!!! LOL
