None of you probably know that OH owns a garage just outside of town so Elmo comes to work with us 4 days a week (Im at home the rest of the week) Its a long day from 9.30 til 6 so i try to do as many short training sessions as possible and take him across to the park just next to work for a run around and ball throwing to break up his day. He also get a 1/2 hour play/training session in the morning and a walk at night. Im always worried he is gettng bored so today instead of going to the park which is a bit dull as its just a grassy park and never any other dogs around. Not even any trees or bushes
i decided to do some training in the car park. Our site is just under an acre with the cars lined up on 1/2 the site and quite near a road so a busy place with lots of distractions. (On the long line) we did some recall, some heel work in and out the cars, some down stay's and some "this ways". I hid my glove under a car a few times too and we did some "find its"
I think Elmo enjoyed it better as there was more to sniff at and it helps build up his tolerance to distractions
Anybody else use weird or unconventional areas to train?
