Lowchens make great therapy dogs and as such they are used as dogs for the deaf

Löwchen are also in Freestyle Dancing: Lowchen Pet, show, agility, obedence,and much more, these dog owners are always looking for new sports for their canine companions. Lowchen owners are no different. Not only do they wish enjoy the intelligence dogs possess in being able to complete complex moves and tasks or navigate through and around complex obstacles, they find it a great way to burn of extra energy for both themselves and their Little lions, while having a lot of fun, and of cause Lowchen’ s just love fun! finding a multitude of outlets in which these dogs can use up their energy and feel like they're performing a "game"; Their owner is interested in doing a dog that is mentally and physically occupied and stimulated is a happy dog. Lastly, dog owners are especially in search of activities that will allow them to spend time with their pets which will strengthen the human-dog bond. One of the newer sports that has popped up on the dog competition scene and which is now gaining quite a bit of favour in Australia is canine freestyle.

Pippa just learning the ropes

Löwchen in Flyball A Löwchen loves to run and jump! Since a fast run over four jumps are key ingredients to flyball, a Löwchen is well suited to excel in this sport.

Löwchen in Obedience Löwchen are fun loving clowns. They are intelligent, want to please their owners (and themselves!), and are incurably inquisitive. If they don't understand, or have yet to be taught, what is being asked of them, they can appear to be stubborn. All these traits work for and against training for Obedience.

At the time of writtin there is only one Lowchen in Australia with any Obedance titles

This said, the Löwchen can perform exceptionally well in Obedience, often scoring at the top. One just has to realize that while he certainly wants to do the right thing and please his owner, the Löwchen also seldom loses his sense of humour and joie de vivere. These two facets are not always mutually acceptable traits in the Obedience ring

Löwchen Tracking Löwchen, known for their ability to sniff out the smallest crumb, for scarfing up all the dirty laundry in the house, and for their exuberant curiosity, are perfect tracking dogs. Why not convert that fearless, sock stealing, little lion into a confident, tugging, tracking dog?

Water Lion LöwchenPree (CH Taywil's Kickin' Aster RA, TDX, NA, AXJ, NF) hit the road over the July 4th weekend and attended a Canine Water Sports workshop in Trumbull, Connecticut. Canine Water Sports is an organization that trains, tests, and awards dogs in activities like endurance swimming, retrieving articles thrown 60 - 100 feet off shore, retrieving articles under water, diving for articles, towing, and working from a boat. While your dog has to be obedient, there are no points off for improper fronts and finishes. The emphasis is on having FUN in the water. Once you have basic skills down, you can compete for water certificates by passing specific water tests.

Weight pullin is another sport

A Löwchen loves to run and jump! Since a fast run over four jumps are key ingredients to flyball, a Löwchen is well suited to excel in this sport.

Training your Löwchen to run over the four jumps is relatively easy. The harder job is training him to hit the box correctly, catch the ball and turn back in an instant. Then, what may be the hardest of all is instilling in your Löwchen the confidence and focus to compete in a team sport where two teams, each of four dogs, are running simultaneously, side by side and passing the dog before and after within inches, all this in an exceptionally noisy and frenzied venue. The noise and frenzy is provided by the hundreds of dogs that cannot wait for their turn in the racing lanes, it begins the moment the first race of the day starts.
