I like that idea of a canine obstacle course... it's fun, and not too abusive on the suit. Part of the reason I never participate in Fursuit Games is stuff like wheelbarrel races is more "Suit Endurance Test" and less "fun game".
I only once participated in fursuit games, and that was at the first FCN. Kage did "Red Wine, White Wine" (Red light, green light), we did a wheelbarrel race, a game of charades (that was fun... you broke into 4 teams, had judges, and had to see how many actions could be guessed correctly in 3 minutes.), there was musical chairs (another potential suit buster!!), and some other games that elude my memory.
Charades, twister battle, canine agility/obstacle course, perhaps Red light, Green light.
One meet, someone brought a parachute and a bunch of Nerf balls for the suiters to play with.
Another idea is they make giant inflatable bowling pins and a plastic ball set, so you could do indoor bowling.
I personally don't do the aggressive games. Maybe one day I'll build a junker suit just for that, but I spent too much time on Kiska and she's getting on in years (wear n tear wise) to play rough games with.
Some of the other stuff used on dog agility courses might not be conductive to suiters, but those are just some ideas.
Also, not a doggie obstacle course, but the first year I went to FWA, they had one of these out on the side of the hotel for the suiters (and non-suiters, for a $1 donation to the charity they help) to go through http://www.rebelbouncingcastles.com/products/ObstacleCourse.jpg
