I use a chuckit to throw the ball further. Anyone around you do dock-diving? I have one that would be great at it, but it's not exactly a huge sport here in PA. Flyball requires less activity for you.
As an aside, if you are not diagnosed then keep pushing. If you want to pm me about mysterious illnesses that cause pain, feel free. I have ankylosing spondylitis and it took me about 5 years to finally get diagnosed. I could hardly move but now with proper treatment I am able to do many things I had given up on, including agility with one of my Corgis.
Good luck!
I have always liked flyball. To bad we do not have it here! Check out this video:
Two of my three LOVE frisbee. Nimh will even catch it before it lands...he looks awesome doing it.
For a social team kinda thing, folks have mentioned flyball. A friend of mine did it with her dog (an Aussie) and loved it. I haven't tried it (don't have it around here).
Dock diving would be a hoot! Corgi flops!http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6257874/the-corgi-flop
Tracking doesn't seem to get as much attention as some of the other Corgi sports, and really just requires you to be able to walk: http://www.pembrokecorgi.org/start_tracking.html
I believe Herding isn't particularly hard on humans either (at least, a lot of the vids I've seen, the trainer does most of the work with the dog and you chaperone). And there are more places to do it than you'd think! I am planning on taking Marcus to get tested for Herding instinct to see if he likes it: http://www.dogplay.com/Activities/Herding/herding.html
Someone we know who herds just needed a knee replacement. Got run over by a sheep..... Ducks would be safe, but bigger stock does put the handler (and the dog) at risk of being kicked or trampled. It DOES look like fun but maybe not the best choice for someone with pain issues.
Tracking is something Jack would love but again hard to find it around here.
