Hi Kitty,
I was suggesting Rally Obedience competition to Shelly.
I have done this just once as part of a training game with assistance dogs
... but it is fun and might be adapted to a guide and their partner with
audio at each station reading the behavior required.
Here are some links that might help explain better then I could.
http://www.canismajor.com/dog/rallyo.html
this article describes it as: "
Rally obedience, or "Rally-O" as it has been termed by enthusiasts, is the
latest American Kennel Club event to hit the show circuit. Rally-O combines
characteristics of sports car racing, dog agility, and traditional obedience
into a new fun sport.
Rally is timed, includes 12-20 performance stations depending on the level
of participation, and is scored by a judge who watches for a smooth
performance as well as skill in following the directions at each station. "

Basically the dog and handler team move continuously through a rally course
of 10-20 signs with the dog at the handler's left side. At each numbered
sign they perform the indicated exercise then move to the next sign.
Unlimited communication is encouraged - the handler can talk to the dog and
give multiple commands and signals. Scoring is less rigorous than
traditional obedience.

this is a book from AKC about Rally.
There is 3 levels of Rally obedience and below is a link that is a pdf of
the signs they use in all three levels. It will give you the behaviors.
