[nagdu] Working Our Dogs

[Sarah]

I try to play with Wizard in the front yard off-leash but I don't 
like it because cone doesn't disant to play, he's just interested 
in horse manure.  And when I call him he doesn't come.

I forgot to mention Leone's favorite form of exercise.  You see, 
we
don't ahve yards and are in a duplex apartment.  We drive up the 
hill
to the college ane lock ourselves in the Tennis courts and  I hit 
soem
tennis balls  over the net she retrieves them.    We do this on 
days i
don't go anywhere.  She loves this.

Remember...  "A happy dog is a tired dog"

 Hello list,

 I was wondering how often do you work your dogs? I feel like I
 have to work Wizard every day and I feel guilty if I just let 
him
 have one day off.  How long is the longest you've allied your
 dogs time off?

 Lyn my husband and I were at the convention last weekend.  Our
 dogs misbehaved and growled and were immediately corrected.  I
 would agree with you if we chose not to bring our dogs under
 control but we did and it didn't happen again.  When you know 
all
 of the facts then please make judgment calls on whether a dog
 should remain in a situation.  I don't know of any dog that
 hasn't made a misstep and the important thing is that the dogs
 were corrected properly and immediately.  In fact they were 
still
 lying at our feet.  They didn't stand up or approach in any way.
