Dog Training – running on different surfaces
http://www.sitmeanssit.com These are some little drills that you can do to make your dog comfortable in running through different types of terrain without having to go out to the field every day.
Sometimes you may have a young dog and you may want to practice stuff like this in a nearby parking lot, schoolyard, or just about anywhere even if you live in the city.
The more things your dog becomes comfortable in running through, the more confident he will be. It’s one less thing that he has to think about because he will be used to this type of stuff by the time he needs to run through it if he becomes a field dog, and even if he only has to compete on grass and never sees this in a trial, he will still be better. The dog in this video is a 1 year old Black Labrador Retriever that will run hunt tests as he gets older.

http://www.franchise.sitmeanssit.com You can practice lining drills just about anywhere that you go. In this video, I am using the distraction of a dog training class to teach my dog to line directly to the proper bumper that I throw. I am also using the hula hoops as a distraction. In prior videos, you have seen the dog only run through the Hulu hoop but you can tell that he only sees things in terms of straight lines. I have had a few questions from people on the prior hoop videos that the dog is going to run through the hula hoop no matter what, but you can see that is obviously not the case. The dog needs to go where you send him. All of the distraction of the moving dogs also helps in the training of teaching the dog to focus on the proper one you are sending him to and to pay attention. I am also mixing in returns to both sides.
