Different Parts of Alyssa Work On The Place

I am attempting to show both finished training, and training in progress.   This is some of Alyssa's earlier place work on 6/11/2011.   She is more advanced, especially in her sends and the different areas that she can recognize as a place now.

I like to show the progress to show the work, and then later what is actually accomplished.   The work is enjoyable work for me.   I think it should be enjoyable for owners, in that they should enjoy the progress and the bond/relationship being formed.  It's not always about making sure the human is entertained.  Sometimes it's just about our dogs .  The work is about an hour a day, and as you can see it's disciplined for us but not all that hard.

Practicing with two different places:



Practicing place for five minute durations around lower mid level distractions:



Here is a fun day we had with Alyssa training and hanging out in Portsmouth NH!
