I have an 11 month old aussie shepherd. I plan on taking him in for basic obedience but feels he needs to let some energy go with the use of some sport

We have Border Collies , My husband built a agility course in our backyard and trained our dogs himself ,they love it and it keeps them busy and great exercise too.You can teach him yourself by making a small hurdle to jump over , a tire to jump through , a ramp to walk, maybe a teeter tator, and a tunnel to run through,we had my daughters play tunnel it worked great.

Sign up for an agility class after your first OB class. There are some things you can work on before taking a class as well. Some good books on this at dogwise.com
I have built an AKC regulation course, but you could make a few pieces just for fun. Join the yahoo group agility equipment for some good plans and helpful advice. It is not that hard or expensive. Just take it easy with him (like lower jumps and no A frame) until he matures a little bit more.

go to the AKC web site and find a club in your area or a trainer in your area, they can help you get started and as you learn you can take your pup to higher and higher levels.
