[nagdu] Dog Parks

[Pam]

hi elese. we don't have any dog parks here as such. but we do take callie to a park for a run once a week. it is all part of the training program here. we r given a whistle which we blow on 3 times and then when the dog comes back the dog is given a treat. the dogs also wear bells on their collars. i rarely have to use my whistle with callie. her recall is very good and she always stays close by. personally i wouldn't give her a free run on my own though. for 1 thing we have to drive to the park so my parents bring us once a week. we r also told once or twice a week is enough for a free run. hope that helps :)

Do you think they are good for our guides or should Becky and I stay away?  My husband would go with us, if you think they are alright.  He is sighted.  Tell me what you think.
