KaC, AKC has recently introduced a new title--I think it is called Urban Tracking. If you want to work towards something that you yourself could participate in a test in, that *might* work (unless the track can include steps...). It is a novice level test that includes lightly vegetated surfaces and pavement. I am not sure how many clubs will actually offer it, but you might want to check out the regs.
Otherwise, I think it would still be fun to get out there in a field you can navigate and see what your pup can do. It is such a blast to watch your dog tracking, and I think it builds the relationship in a different way from other dog sports.
