[nagdu] walking in to objects

[Julie J.]

Cindy,

I will freely admit that I am chicken.  I don't ever teach a dog to go 
around obstacles by using anything that could send me to the dentist for 
reconstructive surgery! LOL

I bet if you were handy you could build a vertical obstacle similar to a 
traditional signpost with PVC and connectors.  The stuff is pretty cheap 
and available at most hardware stores.  It goes together like Tinker 
Toys.  I also suspect the construction would make a giant clatter when 
it fell without doing any damage to anyone it might land on.

Maybe I'll try it out with my next dog.

You guys can laugh now.  It's okay.  I realize I'm a bit nutters when it 
comes to scheming ways to train dogs! *smile*

Julie

Of course, if you knew a plate where there were things that were available to run into, you could scope them out and then plan a route around them I suspect.
